Saw this posted on twitter and thought you guys would be interested: http://turnonthejets.com/2012/10/turn-on-the-jets-offensive-film-breakdown-sanchezs-34-dropbacks/
Yeah, sometimes he looks like Drew Brees back there and other times he looks totally lost. Then you throw in the other side of the equation with the receivers and put it all over the offensive line in the big equation and what comes out is Sanchez. The simple answer is to put a great team around him and profit. That's also the hard answer.
^ Well the good news is that Woody is hell bent on fillings the seats. So if the fans stop showing up and continue to cite the reason is their distaste for the lack of play makers, he will make it happen. the bad news is, the way he makes it happen is through stupid flash in the pan acquisitions like trading for Tebow or signing Favre. Sustained success is the only way to keep the tickets selling. Sustained success means sustained planning, which the Jets have not been doing. They've been patch working.
The part of the article where he points out the Shonn Greene fail was pretty funny and backs up what most of you guys think about him.
Before I read this ill make one simple point. If the last play of the game had been a three step drop....or had gotten decent protection....he'd have hit the open runner down the right sideline.
Great analysis. It pretty much defends what I've said before that the blame isn't all on Sanchez. Everyone on offense needs to continue to improve, including him. This does bode well for the future.
when a team has a cluster fuk on their hands one good thing that usually evolves is uncovering a player or 2 that will shine in the years to come. looks like kerley may be that guy on offense. hopefully s. hill as well. on D - me thinks K. ellis is a keeper.
good read. i thought he nailed it as to how frustrating mark can be. is it the one year of starting at usc prolonging his developement?or is he always gonna be the inconsistent but talented enough qb that wins and loses game
and there you see the yin and yang of Mark Sanchez. The fact is that EVERY QB who makes it to the NFL is good enough make some great throws. Remember Derek Anderson was good enough for one year to make a pro bowl. Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf both were good enough to have a few 300 yd games. Jake Delhomme was good enough to lead a team to a superbowl AND have a career day in the big game, yet none of these guys are remotely considered "good QBs" Mark Sanchez is a good QB.....relative to the rest of world. What he LACKS is the consistency to do it well game after game, season after season. What Brady and Manning have accomplished is amazing and definitely not usual. They've been consistently good for over a decade. For the last 3 years no QB has been better than Aaron Rogers, yet this year.....not so much. That's how hard it is to maintain Brady/Manning-like consistency. Even QB's who have been recognized as being good like Rivers, Palmer, Eli, Rothlessberger, etc have long stretches of bad times. Being a QB is hard. Being a good QB is harder still, and being a good QB on a consistent basis is the hardest thing in professional sports. On a play by play basis no other player has to process more information, quicker, and plays a more important role. Yet at the same time no other player who commands such a key function on the team is so dependant on so many others for success. I only bring this up, because it should be considered when Jet fans are fairly judging Mark Sanchez. Like 90% of all NFL QB's, he is NOT good enough to carry the Jets to a Superbowl, or elevate others to do so. But that is the rule NOT the norm. Keep that in mind
To me the most damning part of the article was where the author said that Sanchez has problems with accuracy problems, especially on passes under 5 yards. And that really is the story of Sanchez, he's just not that accurate of a passer. And really that shouldn't be a surprising statement, I don't think in his Career he's ever been ranked higher than #26 in the league in completion percentage.
Should be mandatory reading for Tebow fans and Sanchez haters. Great analysis other than the standard black or white takes you read here.
He definitely is not a smooth passer with good touch and he really never has been. He's more a puncher in the mid-range game. The only times he's been good as a passer have been the times when he was allowed to just throw it up for grabs at mid-range because the Jets had no other choice due to the game state. This set of receivers though is just accentuating most of his negatives. There's no outlet back to throw too reliably. The TE has been a mixed bag all year. The WR's have been catch as can with Holmes and Kerley mostly catching the ball and everybody else avoiding making receptions somehow. It's just really ugly to watch because instead of getting the best out of Sanchez with crappy players on the field who need help we're getting the worst. When he had the receivers in 2010 he was up. Now he doesn't and he's down. That kind of makes the end result here pretty predictable.
When we had Chad he was accurate but didn't have the arm for the deep pass. With Sanchez it's the opposite. So, which would you rather have?
Chad was always the limiting factor on the good Jet teams he was on. We'd always eventually get down to playing a great defense in the playoffs and those games were lost at the start because Chad could not beat them. No great defense gets beaten by a dinking and dunking offense where the only pass the QB can complete in the redzone is a fade to the corner of the endzone.
This. Chad looked good against bad defenses, he looked mediocre against average defenses, and looked absolutely horrible against great defenses. 2004 immediately comes to mind.
