To his credit Sanchez has survived a lot more bullshit than a lot of other QBs could handle here. I'm not a huge fan but there is no doubt he is mentally tough.
Agreed. If he survives the hate he's receiving and takes the next step in his career he's going to have earned an enormous amount of respect... particularly from his teammates. That's exactly the sort of leader you want.
Ryan Flacco Freeman Bradford Sanchez has had just as much or more success then all of them yet he gets crucified and the others get a pass. That is NYC for ya.
I don't think the hate is New York media driven. I think the New York media has actually done a good job in evaluating the Jets and Sanchez. Its the knuckleheads at ESPN and NFL Network. Oh by the way throw in a guy like Amani Toomer. These are the people who just want Tebow to come in because he will get them more ratings.
And physically tough. Watching the beating he took last year, it is amazing he made it through the whole season. Slightly OT: There was a column written by a fantasy football "expert" that claimed that injuries were random and that we mistake randomness for being injury prone. After watching Sanchez and Pennington over the last decade, I am 100% sure that some guys are just brittle and other guys are somehow less likely to get injured.
To bad that RR cannot yet see that MS greatest weakness is he still cannot make that correct split second decision. Oh & BTW NYJ fans that is a innate weakness which is NOT COACHABLE :sad:
all of that poppy cock might be worth something if the guy could make a read, throw on time and put the ball where it needs to be. however he CANT do these things and is a scared puppy dog in the backfield.
He's been able to make those split second decisions, it hasn't been on a consistent basis though. The QB and WRs need to develop a sense a trust in order for that to happen. A QB could easily second guess a particular WR if he feels he's not in the right position to make a play. It's not coachable, but it can be developed through experience. Mark had all of these question marks after his rookie year - arm strength, durability, ability to make plays when it counts, accuracy. No QB is perfect, not even Aaron Rodgers. A player doesn't remove all of the negative aspects of their game in one sitting. Takes time and patience. blah blah were 0-3 I know already :sad:
Maturity doesn't make your WR's better. Sanchez is being asked to carry an offense that has one established WR, a second year roleplayer and a raw rookie as it's best 3 options at WR. The Jets (again) are sending Sanchez into a season with less talent at WR than most QB's have. Again they expect him to carry the load. One of these years Sanchez is going to wind up some place with good receivers at the start of the season after an off-season spent working with them. That's when the comeback kids tend to shine, after they finally find a team that has a clue on their side of the ball.
I have seen him do all those things and pretty good pocket presence for a young Qb with a bad o.line. I am not sure who you are watching. The problem with Sanchez IMHO is overthinking. For this posters that think the split second decisions has something to do with the receivers also has not watched a lot of football. Football is all based on timing and trust will the receiver Qb o.line, RB, all be on the same page. That is why coaching is such a premium in the NFL.
:sad::sad::sad: Being clutch is something that cant be coached, neither is toughness, and Mark has both of those qualities... But he still sucks and we should all cry about it :sad:
Nor does it make a Qb any better at reading defenses. I am encouraged Sanchez improved his completion percentage this pre-season. Despite my doubts about him, if he can continue with that and cut down on his turnovers, that would be great, and would likely show he has finally gotten ahead of where he was in relation to the development curve he was last year, which was pretty bad. Not that I disagree about the receivers. Right now it's Holmes and a bunch of nobodies.
were watching the same guy, the difference between you and i is that i know what i am looking at and i am honest with myself about what mark sanchez is and isnt. you, i assume are wearing rose colored glasses or have no idea how the quarterback position works. im not here to judge though.
That's also why having a QB and his WR's play together for more than a season or two is like nice, or something. The four receivers Sanchez has had some success with are Keller (familiarity), Cotchery (steady vet with familiarity), Edwards (vet with tools and then familiarity) and Holmes (well, Holmes and all that he brings to the table good and bad.) The guys he has had some trouble with are Stuckey (backup asked to play starter's role), Smith (backup), Clowney (good gawd Clowney), Plaxico (rust and age) and Mason (aged vet on the brink of retirement.) The musical chairs at WR in Sanchez career has been amazing to watch. The FO spent a week trying to add Asomugha to Darrelle Revis while good options at receiver and the OL slipped away last off-season. Ben Roethlisberger: Hines Ward and a pounding running game was the gift. Peyton Manning: Marvin Harrison and great backs. Aaron Rodgers: Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. Drew Brees: No gift until Antonio Gates in his 3rd season and by then he was headed out of town just like Mark Sanchez.
