After this season, I would have rather kept Schottenheimer if it meant not getting Sparano. At least he was able to make Sanchez look like a competent quarterback. So Schotty, you have my apologies.
Gee, what a surprise.....Jet fans who clamored for the guy to leave now realize it was a talent and QB Coach problem.
I hated Schotty, but Sparano is the worst play caller in the NFL, no question about that. Awful hire by the Jets in the offseason.
I wasn't an advocate of Schotty leaving last year, and I don't put it all on Sparano this year. Sanchez can't execute, and kills any ability for a play caller to be successful. That being said, Sparano is not a playcaller.
Personally I never wanted to dump Shot but someone had to pay for last season melt down.. Now, I know its not news that Sparano sucks, but the Jets have so many flaws its hard to shift it all on one guy.. It's going to be interesting who will pay this year..
I'LL STILL TAKE SPORANO...Schotty under utilized his offense. Sporano tried to do more with Sanchez and the passing game. But we have a shit QB.
Sparano is even more of an idiot than Schotty. You had plenty of time and you are running the ball good. Why would you call a play and have Sanchez throw the ball. He couldn't hit a receiver if his life depended on it. Make Sanchez watch for a whole game next week so that he can get some perspective how bad he truly sucks.
Maybe the Jets offense just sucks. They "want" to ground and pound but they don't have the RBs and 1/2 the line for it. They don't have a QB that's good enough to see people in neon robins egg blue. We don't have an explosive threat on the receiving corp. Shotty is doing rather well with the Rams. Too many different people not on the same page. The Jets need structure.
Exactly the OC gets way too much blame. schotty and now sparano is getting more blame than they deserve(d)
Bill Walsh could be calling our plays, so long as Sanchez is our quarterback, we will be an abysmal offensive team.
Sporano has been bad as an OC, but Shottenheimer was truly terrible, and I am glad he is gone. There should be no doubt that Sanchez made both Sporano and Shottenheimer look worse then they actually are, but there should also be no doubt that Shottenheimer was truly awful. The stories of him coming up with new plays during the week and running them *once*! in practice during the week says it all. If I never see another end around or double reverse on 3rd and short it will be too soon.
Sparano should be canned for not running 40 times passing 20 times tonight. But the offense stinks because its devoid of talent. Unreal some of those reads by Sanchez tonight, I don't know what I saw in the guy.
I have my issues with Sparano, but I still go back to that goal line interception in the Seattle game. Absolutely perfect play call and design. Line gave good protection. TWO freaking receivers wide open, one of them being Sanchez's "crutch", and what does Sanchez do ? Pump fakes twice to a wide open receiver, stares him down then throws a late pass that gets picked. Yo can't blame Sparano for that. As I said, it was absolutely perfect play design and play calling. Other times though, seriously, WTF ?? The playcalling and design has been mind boggling. So it's a mixed bag of sorts.
