Antonio Cromartie: People calling for Tebow can 'kiss my butt'

New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is standing behind his starting quarterback.

Following the team's 28-7 defeat in Seattle Sunday, Cromartie told the New York Post that those calling for Tim Tebow to replace Mark Sanchez could partake in a very specific act.

"They can kiss my butt," Cromartie said. "Mark is our quarterback. At the end of the day, we could give a damn what anybody on the outside has to say. Mark is our quarterback and he's going to continue to be our quarterback. There's not going to be no division, talking about who needs to be our quarterback. Mark is our quarterback and he's our only quarterback."

Former Jets quarterback Joe Namath falls into the category of those calling for Tebow to be more involved in the offense. The Hall of Famer seemed to change his tune on the situation in a lengthy set of tweets during Sunday's game.

The 3-6 Jets take on 3-5-1 St. Louis next Sunday before facing a quick turnaround into a Thanksgiving night game versus New England. If the team plans to make a move, they'll likely have to do it this week.
