Your guess would probably have been the same about Plummer when he went to Denver since he was worse than Sanchez at turning the ball over prior to landing there.
He would suck, quaterbacking any team.. he isnt good. If Mark Sanchez was on the Texans, Tyler Yates would be the starter,
Plummer on a better team was able to elevate his game slightly, but still proved to not be the answer for the Broncos. Sanchez i believe is much worse than Plummer. Have you ever even seen the guy audible out of an obvious blitz? Has no pre-snap recognition abilities, does not protect the football at all, and is extremely inaccurate with passes. ie can't really place a screen pass. not very good situational analysis either, 3rd and 3, throws the 1 yd check down (inaccurately). I think he's soft, not football savvy, and now mentally shot at this point. A change would do him good, but he's not the answer for any team..
I don't think Sanchez will have any luck in this league, he's technically not very good. His 52% completion % has everything to do with Sanchez. But every Sunday there is a part of me that expects him to go on a tear and really elevate his game, carry this team to a few wins and sit comfortably as the franchise QB. It's a pipe dream at this point, but I have to have some reason to watch.
But Plummer, like Eli Manning, is atypical. Most players don't turn it around after four terrible years. Most players aren't reinvented at 26. Most players don't go from consistently bottom of the league in passer rating and completion percentage to above average starting QB. If your point is that it could happen, sure. Sanchez could develop into Eli, Tebow could develop into Steve Young, and we could win a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer at QB. But the overwhelming probability is that a bad quarterback won't turn into a good quarterback, and a team won't excel with a bad quarterback. The exceptions don't justify expectations to the contrary. I'm not saying you are harboring those expectations, just pointing out that they'd be unreasonable.
TIL: Sanchez is the #1 blitzed QB in the league. He is blitzed 40% of snaps. Not sure what to make of it, but Sparano should counter this with better play calling.
Maybe that's because Sanchez can't pick up a blitz to save his life and somehow hasn't figured how to throw an effective screen pass. I watched him fumble and then get rushed and later sacked by the same damn CB blitz nearly three series in a row, the guy is terrible at reading defenses.
Read this article: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/11/14/mark-sanchez-the-real-problem/ I know people want to blame the offensive line for giving up a load of pressure but look at the numbers. How often is Sanchez under pressure compared to his peers? This is one table where the lower you’re ranked means your facing less pressure. Sanchez consistently spends a smaller percentage of his time under pressure than those around the league, and that includes any pressure he brings on himself. Year Plays Under Pressure Rank Qualifying Quarterbacks 2009 23.6 37th 39 2010 27.9 30th 36 2011 27.3 29th 36 2012 30.3 19th 34 It probably just seems more than it is because he performs so badly when he is under pressure. Have a look at his adjusted Accuracy Percentage when he’s pressured. Year Adjusted Acc. % Under Pressure Rank Qualifying Quarterbacks 2009 52.7 31st 39 2010 49.1 36th 36 2011 49.0 34th 36 2012 49.2 34th 34 To sum things up, Sanchez just folds like origami under pressure and teams know it.
the blitz stat has to do with how many rushers sent in.. so maybe Sanchez thinks hes under pressure when he is not.. could be why is completion % is so low.
Sanchez is great when he's not under pressure. Look at the Bills game... the Bills came in determined to stop the run and Sanchez lit them up. Teams realized the Jets don't have a running game worth gameplanning for so all they need to do is shift Sanchez. Where Tom Brady and Peyton Manning get unbalanced in the face of a pass rush, Sanchez implodes completely. The game moves too fast for him when he's under pressure and he makes awful decisions.
Sanchez is proving against the Rams that he belongs. He's a bit of a softie in that he can't take the Tebow's presence. But Tebow's presence has hurt the entire team chemistry from being a blue-collar team to a college team.
They hyped the rams too much. They are a team on the come up. Sanchez still cannot play against teams that have top defenses. So what's the point? He beats scrub teams and loses to good teams. how many 8-8 or 7-9 seasons is it gonna take?
One game doesn't prove anything... especially against the Rams. After this game he deserves to still be the starter but to me he is still on the hot seat and so are the coaches. I still don't see a winning QB in Sanchez, let alone a Franchise QB. He can't pick up the team when things go wrong. Prove me wrong, Mark Sanchez.
Did you actually just say that? lmao... you know why they are called "Good Defenses" :lol: ...and he beats scrub teams? So Beating Brady, Rivers, Rothelisburger and Manning in Their house ..yea, they suck... 3 of the 4 in the Playoffs..
The worst of Sanchez has shown up for this team more than the best. And the best of him is not a Franchise QB
He's not the antichrist that some here make him into...he's a below average QB who occasionally comes up big but remains a terrible decision maker. To no surprise when the Jets are coached half-decently and others show up, Sanchez looks decent; when they play like idiots, which is most of the time, Sanchez makes things even worse. When he has to think bad things happen.
That 4-2 record in the playoffs was all against scrub teams. Well, he won 4 games against scrubs on the road.
And please tell us how many of the 32 QBs in the NFL are 'franchise QB's' who are showing improvement year-to-year and show the ability to win big playoff games ON THE ROAD ??????????????????????????????????????????
Offensive line played better leading to Sanchez played better and RBs ran better. OL is the key to our offense since we don't have RBs or QB to overcome a poor OL
