Guys, Mark is in his third year, you could give him some slack the first two this year he needed to step up and be the true leader of this team. Didn't happen, Look at Brady on the sidelines when he is losing, he is one nasty mean SOB.. that's a winning QB... I honestly don't know if Mark is ruined aka (David Carr) at this point. I do know that he should not be handed the starters role next season unless he earns it.There were times these last three games where I am sure if there was a solid veteran behind him, Rex would have benched his ass... I don't give a rat ass what Rex say's in public, just look at him on the sidelines when Mark makes one of his bonehead plays or throws. That should tell you all you need to know about how Rex really feels about the progress Mark has made up to this point.
I guess the only way to see if you are right or if I am, is to watch this play out. I think Sanchez is a confidence boost away from turning the corner. I remember when we were Jets fans when Pennington was the QB, this team was in a similar position. Pennington had his loyalists - claiming he was the most accurate QB in the NFL and had smarts. The other fans wanted to move on, give Clemens a shot and should he fail, move on from the two and start over. I feel that we are in a better position now having a young Sanchez to try and mold into this teams QB (Not Indianapolis' QB, not New Orleans' QB, not New England's or Green Bay's QB) for years to come. He just needs a team around him that can help lift the load and a coaching staff that has a clue.
Two of the worst interceptions I can ever remember seeing. He doesn't lack talent, but he clearly lost any sense of confidence at the position that he may have had.
Oh, I think he lacks talent. That might be why he lacks confidence, and I mean the confidence of the CS as well. Is his arm any better than Pennington's was? I don't see it. His out and deep throws lack arm strength. Why don't the Jets stretch the filed? Maybe it's because Sanchez can only throw rainbows whern he throws deep. Two INT's to DL's today? Seriously? He is too short, goes down too easilly. At least Pennington was accurate. Today Sanchez was never asked to throw deep, and his completion % was still knee high to a garbage pail. That is where Sanchez belongs... in a garbage pail. Experiment over. Time to trade the farm to Indy for Luck. Sanchez sucks.
Im hoping 1 week from now we hear that Sanchez has been playing hurt. Too many times he runs off the field nursing his shoulders like hes in excruciating pain only to get back in the game and act normal. The last month+ he has just lost speed on his throws and has been throwing behind people constantly. Today and Eagles game he takes a helmet to helmet tap not real hard contact and he runs off the field bent over nursing his shoulder. Im not making an excuse for the way hes played to finish our season but it would definitely explain a lot to me if he is nursing some type of injury.
Sanchez has never been an accurate QB and his throws are always errant. Hence the reason for his pathetic completion %. The last thing people want to hear now are excuses for why the team still has a bottom 1/3 of the league QB in year 3. What a complete waste of money we are throwing at this kid....
Ha I said the same exact thing. I generally stick up for Sanchez around here, but even this pissed me off today. He had his arms on top of the bench like he was trying to get a fucking tan.
What I see as Sanchez' biggest problem at this point is that he consistently makes poor decisions with zero consideration for the game situation. Whether it be throwing up a ridiculous pass on first down that gets picked by a d-lineman instead of taking a sack, back peddling into the end zone and taking a safety instead of throwing it away or taking a timeout to give Brady an opportunity to respond before the half. Every game he seems to make foolish mental errors that a 3rd year QB should not be making. The fact that he came up small in big spots the last 3 games was very concerning to me too. His biggest positive trait up until the last quarter of this season has been the "clutch" or "it" factor at the end of games. Hopefully it was just a little brain fart in the grand scheme of things.
this is entirely possible. i was saying today that he seems to be a drama queen the last half of the season always coming off the field looking hurt only to come back the next series. so this is possible. BUT i cant say it would be a good thing if he has a bad shoulder and needs to get it repaired. it also still doesnt excuse him for his many mental mistakes as pointed out by someone else. but it would be something that would make me feel better about him going forward if he can actually come back healthy.
I'm so sick of all of the excuses for Sanchez. He is an absolute disaster, and near or at the top of the list of the worst QBs I have ever seen. So, if the Jets change their offensive coaching staff and Sanchez again sucks next year, do the "he needs time to adjust to the new offense" excuses come rolling out? The only thing that's worse than making a colossal mistake is failing to recognize it as such or recognizing it and failing to do something about it. Sanchez is not the first NFL bust, and won't be the last- time to acquire Matt Flynn, give him a competent OC, cut many underachieving or over-the-hill players, and rebuild the team through the draft and FA.
Thats it in a nutshell SJ. Combine that with having to deal with the two ladies that play wideout and you have yourself a recipe for disaster for a young QB. We can sit here for not hours..but days...bringing up receivers who have almost ruined the careers for young and old qbs alike. Receivers are the scum of the league...and Sanchez has had his fill with two guys that never bailed him out when he is in trouble. During the game today...I can remember several times Sanchez rolled out of trouble only to run out of bounds. The Sanchez of the first two years would hit DK for a big gain in the playoffs...or make plays out of nothing. Now its all making sense why Sanchez had to eat the ball. His receivers died on him. Especially the Captain of the team. They left him out to dry....and I think its beginning to all make sense why Mark sucked even more than he should have. He does not...does not have the ability to deal with egotistical pieces of shit for wide receivers...and receivers who just quit on the team weeks ago. And sorry for the cursing here....but it has to be said.....AND FUCK THE COACHING STAFF that allowed this to go on while this team went down the shitter with a quitter for a captain.
Sanchez isn't extremely accurate, he's not poised, he's not a good decision-maker and he doesn't have a great arm. The only thing that's above average about him is his mobility. He just doesn't profile as the kind of player who can become an elite quarterback. His highest NFL fate is almost certainly as a game-manager...but to do that, he'll need to become a much better decision-maker and develop better poise in the pocket. Right now, he's Rex Grossman with a weaker arm.
I'm not crazy about Sanchez either. Maybe losing gets people to focus on these side issues like his demeanor and body language - but I have to agree, the guy seem just too complacent over mistakes and losing in general. He doesn't come across as a fiery competitor - even a seemingly soft QB like Eli shows a lot of emotions out on the field, whereas Sanchez seem so ho-hum about making mistakes - as if he feels the past few years of playoff success means he can play guilt free crap football this year.
It had appeard as if Mark's confidence had taken a drop, and a big portion of why that may be became clear yesterday. It is like the guy has been the younger brother to a couple of douche siblings, and now he looks shaken.
Tell me if i'm wrong, but the past 3 games Sanchez has had a much higher number of tipped passes not to mention intecerceptions by line-man...am i imagining this or is there something wrong w/Sanchez seeing over the line of scrimmate?
When the only thing you throw are dump off passes to Shonn Greene and LT, the defense picks up on this and has a field day.
I think part of the tipped pass problem is all the short passes. If your throwing a five to eight yard pass its a lot easier to tip or knock down . After sleeping on I'm still pissed at why Sanchez wasn't reading any info or looking at photos on the sidelines . It really did seemed like he was just hanging out . There was no interaction with coaches or wrs . Its just seemed like the game wasn't important to him . I think that part it tough to change . To have a laid back personality change to a fiery leader who demands more of his teammates I don't think is going to happen. I hope I'm wrong and he goes on to be a great leader , but i really don't see it .
To be honest, I think he was tired of the BS. I think he knew it would boil over and it actually did with Holmes storming off of the field and sitting on the bench. I think there were things going on inside of the huddle and the locker room that we as fans never had a clue about, chemistry-wise.
