Anyone know anything about this Writer? I don't follow enough to know if he's a yahoo. If it was said, what a sad division in the locker room to start the season... http://sports.yahoo.com/news/york-jets-quarterback-situation-getting-worse-204700046.html COMMENTARY | If you thought the New York Jets quarterback situation couldn't get any worse, brace yourself. It's about to go nuclear. An unnamed player told CBSSports.com "80 to 90 percent" of the team wants to see quarterback Mark Sanchez benched in favor of someone else: "Everyone on the team likes Mark personally," the player was quoted as saying. "ut there's a general feeling among some of the players that maybe it's time to give someone else a chance." Let that sink in for a second: Based on this unnamed source, four of the five guys blocking for Mark Sanchez don't want to be blocking for this guy. Now, unnamed sources aren't the most reliable. It always creates animosity, those secretive "players-only" meetings where everyone comes out singing Kumbaya. And four out of five seems awfully high, even if Sanchez can't throw a spiral deeper than 12 yards down the field. But usually there's a grain of truth in every rumor. It's not hard to imagine players grumbling after seeing turnover after turnover from the fourth year starter, seeing your team be a game away from the Super Bowl only to become the laughingstock of the league on the shoulders of one guy. And let's face it -- The Sanchize is that guy. He had full support of the suits in Florham Park, even if he didn't have it from the jerseys in the locker room. From moving up on draft day to signing a lucrative, yet undeserved, extension before last season, Mark Sanchez has been the Golden Boy. Unfortunately, gold can tarnish. The one thing that can overcome the rumblings is your play on the field. But even OTAs aren't being kind to Sanchez. After a dismal performance this week where Sanchez completed only 6 of 11 passes to go with three interceptions, there's no reason to expect greatness. With no defensive pass rushers, no pads and no one pushing him, Sanchez couldn't perform. Rookie Geno Smith fared no better, missing on eight of his 11 throws and tossing one to the defense. Makes you wish for David Garrard now , doesn't it? If these performances continue, don't be surprised if the grumblings get louder from inside the Jets' locker room. As it stands now, four out of five Jets want someone else to steer the ship. Unfortunately, there's not another captain on board.
It's already been mentioned in another thread. I'm just curious...if you're throwing an interception to your own defense, isn't that a good thing for your own defense? I'm not too worried about stats from both. But, throwing three INT's including one to a nosetackle is concerning. This article fails to mention that Geno's INT was deflected. It also fails to mention that Hill and Holmes were both rehabbing. This is nothing more than another hit article to get the inbred football fans out there clicking to say LOL JETS
More garbage journalism but the point remains. Sanchez is still awful and there's no excuse for a 5th yr NFL starter to throw 3 INT's in 11 passes regardless if it's a skills competition or an NFL game. We need to focus on getting Geno ready to be the starter Day 1. That's the reality of the situation.
Didn't see it in another thread, I looked at the titles of the other threads before I posted, but sorry for the repetition. As far as your comments, I would agree it's meant to stir up the "OhNoist's" (Lol, my own term). I would also look to the bright spot of a good D getting after it! Thanks for your insights
The writer in question is Mike Freeman, a known fraud, and jets hating POS, that loves to use "anonymous" sources. heres Sessler from NFL.com, poitning it out. for those that arent familiar with this pile of steaming dogshit, during the Al Groh days, he pulled this stunt, then accused about a half dozen Jets beat writers for being "out to get him" because they were disproving his quote and thenx he also made racially based accusations. Cannizaro was one of the writers he accused, For thos interseted.... http://observer.com/2000/11/mike-freeman-chums-the-waters-and-the-sports-sharks-are-biting/ After the Times dumped him, he got caught lying on his resume, when he tried to snatch a gig in Indianapolis.
Mods can we delete this thread so that Hobbes and NYJunc can enjoy their Memorial Day weekend. Nothing stings worse than the truth. Oh by the way, I hope Geno is the starter, but with Rex here that is a no go.
Someone he pissed off, called the indianapolis Star, and told them he was falsely claiming a degree from Delaware. He never go to put a word in print.
The writer is James Moffet whose Yahoo profile lists "10+ yrs. of 'professional' writing for print and online publications" with no mention of any of them. Here's all you pretty much need to know about this turd (yahoo profile): is a NY Giants fan who married into a Jets family and currently lives in North Carolina. James Moffet Joined Yahoo: Jan. 3, 2013 Content (articles/blogs): 14 Reader Views: 204,842 Fans: 1 Moffet's other Yahoo 'articles' include one saying that the Jets should avoid drafting Geno Smith at all costs, as well as a final mock draft claiming the Jets were "enamored with Mike Glennon" and Glennon being the "most likely" Jets 3rd round pick. __________________
Post number 6. Freeman is so notorius for this kind of BS that the guy at NFL.com, started his column by publicly ridiculing him. See Above.
In the article Moffat 'rips' from Freeman, he states "This from a Jets player, who asked not to be identified: "Everyone on the team likes Mark personally but there's a general feeling among some of the players that maybe it's time to give someone else a chance." The player went on to say that he estimates that 80-90 percent of the team feels the same way he does. Then he adds(mysteriously), this little (assumption); "Let that sink in for a second: Based on this unnamed source, four of the five guys blocking for Mark Sanchez don't want to be blocking for this guy". Where the hell did that come from? Who said anything about "blocking" players" That comes from thin air and insinuates perhaps, O-Line players. This guy really has a set doesn't he?
Which would be the majority of posters at nfl.com and espn boards. Nothing original, just a bunch of sheep posting what they're told to post, ie jets~circus! or buttfumble!
