There's a huge part of being a QB that is mental. That part is the difference between being Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf. Sanchez has never had that part except in a few narrowly defined windows, opponent not bringing pressure, late in the game where throwing it away is not an option due to the clock and downs, surrounded by veteran talent that can keep things grounded. Could Sanchez find that mental toughness on every down and with whoever is on the field with him? Survey says unlikely at this point in his career. Put an older, wiser Mark Sanchez on a loaded team full of vets somewhere and he might get his ring but it's important to remember that Rich Gannon did not get that ring in the end.
The Steve Young comparisons are useless. The Bucs were a talent-less team in the two years he was with them. They had 1 Pro Bowl player, a TE, over those two seasons. Then Bill Walsh decided Young was more the player who had been on display at BYU and in the USFL than the player who had QB'd a season and a few games with an untalented roster of scrubs. Then Walsh sat Young for 4 seasons behind Montana. It's just not the same thing.
I don't know I am betting yes Mark is 26 still very young but 25 with four years of NFL experience is still a lot wiser than a 22 year old rookie. Mark has been through a lot we will see what finally happens with a good coach and decent talent. If he is asked to carry the team in week 1 he will fail if he plays within himself he will do well with the ability to grow. We will find out soon enough if Garrard beats him out or Sanchez continues his turnover ways he will be gone. The jets will play a rookie if one is drafted or Garrard until the Jets are officially eliminated. That si my point it makes no difference if you hate or love him he will get a chance and that chance will not hurt the Jets from finding a Qb in the future. Unless of course you think said QB is Flynn.
Silly post. And even more ridiculous that you actually used the term "carried the team". Do you actually believe that? Come on. He "carried" the team? :rofl2: It's clear to everyone but you and a very few others that HE was the one who was carried. There's not a single analyst in the country who thinks he carried this team at any point in the last 4 years. Search the internet and find me ONE person who thinks so. ONE. Find me a quote. You know when we actually did need him to carry the team? Last season. How did that work out? Since that task is impossible, why don't you just identify a stretch of games over his 70 game career ... Even as small as 4 or 5 weeks ... where he played well enough for people around the country to stand up and take notice, and talk about him as a future star in the league. If I asked you to do the same thing for RG III or Russell Wilson, or Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, Matt Stafford you could do it in about 30 seconds, correct? Can you do it for Sanchez? It has nothing to do with hatred. It's about accepting reality. I want my team to succeed going forward, and it's crystal clear that can't happen with this QB. If you don't realize that by now, the only inadequacy worth mentioning is your eyesight.
If Sanchez does end up starting this season we still dont have any real weapons at the WR or TE posistion as of right now, so his success is gonna based on Holmes again,i know its early and the roster still has a way to go yet but he will fail without help if he does become the starter,we all know he will
If mark was smart he would take a big pay cut, that way we can sign a few weapons like fred davis and a wide out. Mark has one last chance to do this, me personally I think the guy is more interested in Hollywood instead of football. If he takes a pay cut and puts up good numbers he can make that money back in thed long run. If we dont have money to sign guys and mark sucks he is the next ryan leaf or jamarcus russell.
Yes and No- Hill should be much better this year in Year 2 in the NFL, Kerley is good and hopefully they bring back Braylon as well as a draft a WR. Last year every receiver struggled with hamstring issues and we did not throw to our backs. With health and Scheme the Offense will be better. Is it enough we will not be top 5 but will be better no matter who is QB.
I doubt he does this considering it's his last big contract ever in the NFL, Jets really don't have any leverage sadly. You can't restructure his contract either.
Sanchez isn't going to restructure without an incentive to do so. I don't see an incentive the Jets could extend that is likely to make him amenable to a rework that does not also have real costs down the road. If 2011 and 2012 were about mechanics and physical skill levels then there's a chance that MM could fix Sanchez. If the rolling disaster area was about the systems and personnel the Jets had in play, well that's an easy fix. The problem is the third area: mental preparation and readiness. The Jets can't fix that one and it's at least as much a part of Sanchez struggles as the first two. It's not the only thing holding him back and it's unfair to suggest that if Sanchez just got it things would have gone differently. It is however a big part of the problem.
You are exactly right. Which is why I defend Sanchez's physical tools accuracy etc. That is not his problem his problems stem form the mental and maturity part of the game. Just by Mark's action over the last four years has shown a very immature person. He is only 26 and will most likely get a chance to see if he has matured both on and off the field. If not by by Mark.
No I understand, my thing is if he takes a pay cut in order to use that money on skilled position players thus increasing his overall stats, mark might be able to parlay that into one more somewhat decent contract. If mark shows no improvement this year he will be a vet minimum or CFL type contract from this point forward. Seeing that he was ranked 35 out of 32 starting qb's he really is one step out the door.
How many probowlers on the Jets offense in skill positions last year..right none. Talentless. My only point is, and has been, that successful organizations identify talent, and develop it. The steelers have had 3 coaches in three plus decades. Simms got 8 years, young got three teams mand years on the bench,,,to be BUILT. If you want to be Jeff Ireland..hey cool. But to deny Sanchez has flashed real talent. Is dishonest. If you want to be the bills, that gave a journeyman with better weapons 50 mil after 6 games...thats cool too. Its on the player this year, but...,prior...hes never been given an opportunity to succed... To count last year with hill,Holmes, and Keller missing 25 odd games...is ludicrous.
Sanchez would restructure tomorrow is asked to do so. Hes not Mevi$, and has done so in the past..and his incentive are his stats.,,
Even if Sanchez improves under MM, it wont be enough to get us to where we want to be and that is a Super Bowl winner. So in the end it's really pointless. I don't want to wait and HOPE that Sanchez "improves". He's never been THAT good to warrant all that waiting and it isn't like he's been injury prone so he was still a question mark. That Ravens game in 2011 was the game that made me give up on him. It wasn't the fact that he was playing badly due to the Ravens getting pressure on him. But it was the fact that he looked scared. I knew from that moment on that he didn't have it mentally.
Like the revis salad tossers. I would respectfully submit, that the Sanchez proposition is far more defensible, than Mevi$... What kind of dressing do you prefer?
