http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...-must-make-smarter-choices-says-jets-qb-coach To me, he is public enemy #2 after Schottenheimer. And he comes from the same shit school Brian is from (Some variant of Coryell offense, last time I checked.) 1. I have to wonder why Jets didn't get a QB coach that was well versed in E/P system (which will be the choice of offense from Sparano.) It's not like capable coaches weren't available either. Dan Henning (I don't know if HE wants to get employed or not) is still available for instance. 2. So Sanchez still makes bad decisions, eh? Good job - now he's throwing the QB under the bus - and this was unforced bullshit, remember. Why he had to come out with this bullshit, I have absolutely no idea. 3. Sanchez still keeps making bad decisions - that has to mean one of the following. Either 1. he is a dumb-as-a-doorknob stupid QB. (1st round picks are littered with bust QBs after all, i.e. Ryan Leaf, Kyle Boller and Joey Harrington for instance.) 2. The system makes no fucking sense (This is evidenced by the clusterfuck of a mess by almost the entire offense, i.e. through the "lack" of execution) or 3. the QB coach is doing a piss-poor job. My take? It could a combination of all three, but I'd say the priority of the blame goes 2 3 1. 4. All in all, how does this help Sanchez or Jets? I don't see how this helps anything, other than Cavanaugh saving his face by throwing the QB under the bus. I did feel like this weasel should have been canned at the earliest possible chance...
I read your comments and then read the quotes, but the quotes wasn't as bad as I expected. He probably shouldn't have said anything except talking about the future because that is what every other coach and player has done. But what he said might have some weight, meaning since Sanchez has had success early, you don't really try to cut down the mistakes. You say keep it up, it worked so far. The thing is, that means the coaches were telling him it was fine because their job is to mold him. Now looking back at what I just wrote, the comments are as bad as you portrayed them. I just had to spell it out to myself. No way should he have said this, especially as a QB coach. He is criticizing himself because his job is tied to the succes of the QB, so he is trying to deflect off himself 3 months after the season eneded
None of this is that bad at all Matter of fact none is really bad period. All im hearing is theres a fire under his ass now
That is a certain possibility. Whether that is true or not, throwing the QB under the bus is not how you work as a QB coach no matter how you slice it - or is it?
Well if you want to know how to not properly develop a QB this is probably one of the next steps after doing everything else the Jets have done.
How was he throwing anyone under the bus? He made comments that Mark needs to cut down on Turnovers. Any average Jets fan knows this. Mark sure as hell better know this. The whole article is a non story that revisits old info with new quotes. Your way over reacting to it.
Wanna see how it starts? That's placing the blame squarely on the QB, no? It sounded more or less like "Whatever mess he created, that's all on him and not a drop on me." statement to me.
A shit QB doesn't go around scoring 32 TD's. That's not the case, He isn' ryan leaf or kyle boller. Shottenheimer was a dumb fuck and Cavanaugh is a shit head. The reason why we kept him is beyond stupid.
What would you like him to say ? It was due to poor mechanics ? Poor arm strength ? Blame it on the receivers ? Blame it on the offensive line ? Sanchez just sucks ? Sanchez still has poor decision making this is no secret. If Cavanaugh puts the blame on anyone else it would just make a rift on this team worse. He was honest and said Marks decision making needs to get better. I have no problem with that
He doesn't have to say anything for now - does he? Like I said, this bullshit was UNPROVOKED. HE went up to say these things - yes. HE initiated this. Not the paper. That's where the problem lies. If the press asked such question from a press conference, I might not have a problem with this.
For starters NFL.coms article was based off this article http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/f...ets-qb-coach-matt-cavanaugh-article-1.1077377 Which was about If you read the actual article youll see that this isnt a sandbagging, it was an interview about Cavanaugh saying what Sanchez has to do to work in Sparanos offense. Eitherway he again did nothing wrong and your comments that he "just came out and randomly made some unprovoked attacks at Sanchez" are simply unsubstantiated
If you read the real article that I linked above, I doubt youd consider him to have thrown Sanchez under the bus
I don't know - maybe I should have cross-checked the material closely. This was what nfl.com had to say: It does not specify any circumstances - rather takes the tone of him taking the initiative to start the things up. Unsubstantiated? Probably I should have checked the daily news site (which I consider is a piece of crap btw) but in no way my opinion was unsubstantiated.
Really excited to see how Sanchez responds. We are going to find out next year just how good Mark can be.
... You assume that he initiated because it says he told them this ? You ounderstand how interviews/newspapers work right ? You jumped to some crazy conclusion because they use the word told, and in no way shape or form does that suggest that he initiated it. Im SURE it was just a routine interview, since these guys need to get readers until they have actual shit to write about Hell nfl.com even referenced (and linked) to the article in the first sentence.
That's unfortunately the same feeling I have been getting with many of these interviews. However the media is good at making a simple story into a SENSATIONAL one ex Wr Kerley and Tebow throws faster than Sanchez lol. I don't know why we have schittys bf as our qb coach, plz bring in Pennington,Testaverde even... This whole tebow, wildcat coach Sparano seems like a bad setup, I hope Sanchez and the Jets play lights out and Tebow does well in his roles.
This is why Bill Parcells had the rule that nobody talks for the team but him. Nothing good can come out of the QB coach publicly criticizing one of the QB's in the off-season. Critical behavior in-house is one thing, because it's part of Cavanaugh's job, but public criticism should come from the head coach or nobody. What we just saw Cavanaugh do was to open up another front on the Jet's media issues for the coming season. He can't put those words back in his mouth and he can't control how other people will interpret and exploit them.
I honestly hate NFL.com, they spin EVERYTHING to try and get people’s attention. They make the article seem like Cavanaugh is saying “Sanchez made a shitload of mental errors and most of the blame on the turnovers are all of his fault”... But I do not think he should have said anything at all. This probably is nothing that will get way overblown. The usual.
