If Sanchez is cut June 1st, I am having a keg party!!! And that date will be considered a holiday from then on.
I'm rooting for some quarterback to come out of this looking like he is less than a complete disaster. Chances are, it will be neither of them, but at the moment Geno has the most promise. We have crossed the Sanchez bridge too many times not to know what is at the other end.
I was just making the point that players consider him a leader still. I did not say that is why he should start. Obviously whoever plays better should start. I just think it makes more sense for Sanchez to start. In my personal opinion, he will easily beat out Geno in the preseason, but I was pointing out how it is better that that occurs for Gang Green. If it doesn't, and both are terrible and you want to give Geno experience, so be it.
I'm rooting for the New York Jets. :jets: so I'm thusly pulling for he better man to win period. I have my gripes with Sanchez I think he's mediocre at best and feel he would be best served elsewhere but a renaissance from him is a-okay with me as longs it leads to W's. Smith I view as the future regardless but I only want him starting if he's ready, which I believe he will be (maybe start him week 3 regardless of who wins though?) McElroy is the odd man out but hey if he can make it work better don't hesitate to put him out there. I'm so ready for this comp, I want to see if I can get to one of those open mini camp practices just get a raw view.
He didn't disgust fireman ed. The fans did. Him and his family were heckled and abused. He was accused of being paid by the Jets organization and being bribed by the team to wear the Sanchez jersey which he decided to wear for the season, Something he did with a different player each year. Can't pin that and Sanchez too.
Moving forward doesn't preclude increasing Sanchez's trade value. The Jets win on both fronts by starting Sanchez. It gives the OLine time to get settled, it gives Geno an opportunity to learn the offense without risking injury. This is a new offensive system being established and some new personnel on the OLine. I'd rather risk Sanchez than Smith to run it. Starting Sanchez also may bring a higher return than the nothing we will get by having Sanchez sit on his ass collecting $8.5mil while Geno gets pounded during the inevitable OJT process. I worry more about Geno getting hurt than Sanchez. If Sanchez does really well, we trade him for a reasonable DP (late 3rd/4th) and perhaps get a break on how much salary we have to pick up. He'll be off the books and we pick up an additional DP too. Doing it that way still gives Geno time to get himself settled into the pro game and in particular, MM's style of play. There's really no rush to get Geno in there early although the Jets do need to find out if this kid is the one or not. There's always a risk of injury both physically and mentally. Sanchez gets hurt, nothing really changes except Geno's timetable gets moved up. Geno gets hurt, whole different story. I guess I'm saying up until now, the Jets have been cautious and for the immediate future, they need to continue being cautious. No need to rush Geno under center and there's no need to rush Sanchez out the door. Lets take our time and get this right.
Best thing that could happen for the Jets is that Mark starts, and plays well. They still have his rights next year ... then can be traded. Those who want him gone to just get rid of him are not thinking long term.
There always is going to be a risk of injury to QB, no matter how good O-line/QB is. That's just the nature of football. If our O-line isn't godawful, Geno will do just fine under center.
That is simply untrue, meaningless and un-adultorated BS. This crap about Rex and Sanchez is a figmo of your imagination.
Thank you Miss Cleo. Can you give us next weeks Powerball numbers? Of course he will do well under center, hes a talented guy. But....he is not there just yet. Which brings us back to the article. Anything short of deciding after the second preseason game, works against Geno. Its that simple. It would work against any rookie, but you are also talking about a division where he will be facing a version of Rexs defense, and Belli, 4 times a year. Learning to p,ay under center, isnt going to be a problem...but roght now it os a task.
Whoever scores more than one touchdown in the preseason shall be crowned King of New York and will start for the season.
this. everyone needs to relax and stop reading into every little thing that is said. all m.m. said is he wants to end it as early as possible and it is not out of the question for some one to win before t.c. how do you get anything out of that that indicates who might win?
Once again, it is a win-win situation for us if Sanchez does well this pre-season. This is how I see it a) If Sanchez does really well, light out sort of speak, and Geno shows promise, then Geno can sit and soak it in a few games or the whole season until he can beat Sanchez. b) If Sanchez does really well but Geno beat him, then we have the ideal scenario. Sanchez might even be traded early/mid season if injuries and/or poor play by a starter QB on another team happens.Otherwise he is a reasonable back up 3) If Sanchez sucks and Geno is average or not quite there yet, then all the pressure will shift to Geno as a starter and might even hinder his development curve by playing before his time. 4) If they both suck on pre-season then we have a monumental problem.
Do what we did and start the rookie. No need to waste a season starting Sanchez. I think it buys Rex another contract if Geno starts and does something positive...There is no upside with Sanchez anymore...
Right now Sanchez has absolutely zero trade value, and with his history a decent or good season isn't going to change it. it will take a pro bowl caliber season to coax any value from Sanchez, and that is less likely than Gino having one. So if your premise is based solely around Sanchez playing well enough to change the overwhelming perception of him around the league and a team deciding he is worth any draft pick of value plus the $6 million salary for the following year, your premise is severely unrealistic.
I still don't get this thinking. Why is it that Smith "would be rushed" and it wasn't when Sanchez started as a rookie?
Because Sanchez started day one and hasn't developed people mistakenly believe his lack of development is due to starting right away as if riding the bench would have made him a better player. there is nothing to validate that position and now they are projecting their fear and insecurity of sanchez's failure onto smith and thinking if Sanchez started right away and failed that must mean the solution for smith is not to start home right away. that is nonsense. to answer your question directly. they only believe it is rushing smith because of Sanchez, not some greater belief that qb's need to sit to be developed because there isn't any overwhelming evidence to support that claim. obviously sanchez's failure now wouldn't apply to those people's opinions of him four years ago.
