Sanchez has cost us 3 games now and I wouldn't exactly put this entire loss on him today either,. Yes he was terrible today but so was the rest of the team. He is a rookie QB, it should have been common knowledge amongst Jets fans that a rookie QB would cost the team games. It is completely different situation than if a guy in his 4th year in this offense was having these kind of games. I don't see how anyone could not understand the difference.
Sanchez I dont think Sanchez is one of the worst considering he is a rookie. Stafford is not doing much better, and he got taken No.1. Even though he's on the Lions, he has targets like Calvin Johnson and Brandon Pettigrew. I'm not saying that Sanchez doesnt have targets to throw to, but i would take Calvin Johnson over Braylon Edwards as a No.1 receiver anyday. If we go 7-9 or 8-8 this season is a success, im not saying 6-10 is the end of the world..But it would look a lot better not to have double digit losses. I think he is far from my avatar's status, and not yet close to Peyton Manning status. I still have a lot of faith in Sanchez, he is the future.
good post, Baker......110% agree. not sure about the D'Brick comment though....Sanchez has had plenty of time in and out of the pocket for the most part.
I have to concerns with Sanchez right now. 1) Is he improving? (Right now the answer is no) 2) Is he being used and coached properly? (Right now the answer appears to be no)
What's worrying to me is that Sanchez just doesn't seem to be getting any better vision-wise. Early in the season he had some great plays where he looked off a saftey or went through his reads before hitting the open receiver. Lately, I can't remember the last time that I saw him look off a defender or search out the open receiver - he seems to telegraph everything and doesn't seem to be on the same page with the WRs a lot of the time. Where is the breakdown coming from?
Joe Montana started exactly one game during his rookie season. He mostly held a clipboard, studied films and learned the game. He turned out to be the best NFL QB ever. So don't tell us that a Rookie QB has to start all the games in order to become a great NFL QB that is simply untrue.
In case you guys haven't noticed, this entire team is terrible, not just the rookie QB. It is clear that the talent on this team has been severely overrated on this board.
Good fucking post - I've been trying to get this point across for weeks. It's going to get worse before it gets better.
Yeah I don't get the bashing of the oline...they started the year off poorly..but they have been one of the best lines in the league recently imo. Faneca and Woody are still erratic pass blockers but they're really, at the very least, a way above average line.
our secondary (minus Revis) is in shambles......this was supposed to be one of our strengths going into this season. CB/S has to be addressed in the draft/FA....along with the lines (D and O)....in my opinion.
The faster we accept that this team is not ready for the post-season, the better off you are as a Jets fan....
They are a very good run blocking line, but the pass blocking is very suspect. You guys noticed the good protection on a couple of Sanchez's interceptions. Yea, he had plenty of time on two of those throws, but he was running for his life on a lot of his other pass attempts.
He had some time on some plays and on other plays he was given very limited time to really do anything, like on the fumble for instance. D'Brick has been very inconsistent as he has been for a while now. His run Blocking has been spotty and was never his bread and butter from UVA but its his pass blocking that is scaring me since that was what he was heralded for. It too is hit and miss. I try my best to not compare D'Brick to 2 other OTs who were taken high in the past drafts in Joe Thomas and Jake Long but its hard. He just hasn't looked much different than in year 1. Mangold on the other hand has become a beast and has gotten better year after year. Its concerning and alarming.
I agree. The team is not post season material with a rookie QB and all of the injuries the team has. They just need to focus on improving and getting experience together from here on out. Despite saying that, I think they can win their next 3 games.
well seeing as we aren't going anywhere this season...let sanchez play the rest of the season and get the most experience he can. i've said it a million times, it is HARD TO WIN with a rookie QB. everyone expected a matt ryan and a joe flacco. they were exception also keep in mind peyton and eli manning's first season...they looked horrible
I think we have a talented defense. For the most part I have been impressed by them overall. I think our Oline has regressed from last year which is mind boggling consider we kept all 5 starters together. Our WR corps with the addition of Braylon Edwards is top heavy and good but thin afterwords. RB is pretty solid. QB is very green. Our LBs are excellent. Our coach has never been a HC at any level prior to his hiring. I think we have enough pieces I mean were not the Browns. We were 8-3 last year until Favres arm gave out.
It was a talented defense when Jenkins was around but not so much anymore, as shown by Maroney's will to run for yards and extra yards after being stopped. Its not 07 bad but it prevents us from being a shutdown D. Pouha and DeVito have done all they could but realistically, these guys just aren't everydown NTs who can cause double teams and create havoc like Jenkins could. Really Ellis had a big day but it was vs a Pats O-Line that had too many replacements to name.
BULLPUCKIES. The running game is among the best in the NFL and so was the Defense. The main problem has been a poor Offensive Coordinator and a Rookie QB who commits too many turnovers and who makes lots of rookie mistakes. Blaming the rest of the team for Sanchez's poor performances is patently ridiculous. Every team in the NFL has strengths and weaknesses. The Jets have alot of strengths and some weaknesses. QB play has been a major weakness which is to be expected when you start a rookie QB.
So should every rookie QB start 1 game and sit the rest, since that seems to be the recipe for a great QB based on that situation with that individual player? What was/is the biggest issue with Sanchez coming into the NFL? Game experience. 16 games in college. He, Mark Sanchez, - not Joe Montana, not Elway, not Flacco, not Leaf, not anyone else... forget them - needs in game, playing experience. He won't get that by sitting.
nobody is saying give up on him and draft another QB. but being a rookie doesn't mean that his performance hasn't been terrible, just that we should expect such. great, we expect him to be bad and he has this season. why is that a problem for some folks when it is pointed out?
