When we look at statistics, Sanchez is outperforming Flacco, Bradford, Freeman, McCoy, and Ponder pretty significantly. If you want to look past stats, Sanchez is 29-17 as a starter, including 4 playoff wins on the road. Last night there were just way too many mistakes. Holmes tripped up for what would have been a surefire TD to start off the game, Folk missed an easy FG, 3 missed INT's, not getting that fumble, etc. Schotty really has to go btw. Honestly, I want to see Sanchez with a different OC before we can truly make a judgment on him. Because even if we replace Sanchez who are we going to replace him with that would be better? Unless we trade for a Peyton Manning which most likely isn't happening. Or if we draft a QB which is a crap shoot in itself.
You're absolutely right here. This team is not consistent in any phase of the game at this point, although the ST's still provide excellent field position. The problem is they also have given up key possessions this year which cost the Jets chances to compete with teams they needed to beat.
Sanchez isn't great and probably won't ever be great but you can win wiith him which is what I care about
sanchez needs to get a memo if his line is going to be good, or bad before games. you dont have a 3rd year qb generally play well if the line is different every week, or a complete mess every week.
To win though you need your QB to be very good in at least one category of QB play. Name one area Sanchez is very good in?
What exactly are the categories? He is great with play action. He is great at rolling out to his right.
I agree that's about the only area he's above average in. Too bad that's not a tool you can use when the game is on the line and you have to throw the ball.
Agreed 100%. A problem I see though is that he is getting "great player" money... and since there is a salary cap we can't invest where it's needed.
Mark's contract: In 2009, Sanchez signed a five-year deal with the Jets that included $28 million in guaranteed money, with incentives making the deal potentially worth $60 million. That means he'll be with us until 2014. That could make him the 5th year rookie QB of the NYJ's who's probably still learning the game and the position. We'll have to live with him at least another several years. Perhaps at the end of his rookie contract, we won't be asking these same questions. Any other Sanchez contract info out there?
Im not to high on Sanchez right now. But I do agree that I would like to see how he does with a different coordinator. I don thtink itll be much different but is a fair request. The one pass last night that to me showsd how inaccurate this kid is was the WIDE open Keller down the middle that Sanchez over threw by 10 yards when he was stepping up and throwing. Good NFL QBs make that pass 99 out of 100 times. The kid is woefully inaccurate. Its a glaring, glaring short coming in his game
That throw was a mis-communication, they showed on the TV broadcast how he was talking to Keller after about it.
You saw when he flinched into a fetal position to that silly CB Florence, then falls to his knees pulling at his jock strap trying to block, and picks up the holding call? right there is when I knew he was a Champion, yup.
your judging our QB based on his ability to block? thats brilliant... next thing you know you will be judging T.J. Conley based on his ability to play corner. you want to hate on Sanchez, there are certainly some reasons for it, his blocking ability (and the flinch) are not good ones
