The problem with Sanchaz is that he was started to soon. Brady even sat for two years learning before he got the start. As a Jet fan it sucks that we got to the AFC Championship game 2 years in a row in spite of Sanchaz, because we’ll never have that team, at that time, again.

The Jets traded up to get a guy who was clearly just another overrated USC quarterback (not including Carson Palmer, and Matt Barkley). I have no idea what they saw in him. I give him props for getting them to the AFC Championship game, but everytime I watch him I am just awestruck as to how he was taken so high. Usually quarterbacks need about three years to develop, some may need a little more, or a little less, but I don’t see him making up the ground he needs to make up with the time he has.

The Jets having Brunell is a great decision. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is calling for the backup. The Jets will live or die with their former top 10 pick and give him every chance while other teams play QB games to appease the fans. They’ve won enough with Sanchez to give him more time to develop. Not every team can have Rodgers, Brady, or the former Manning.

Remember when cameras caught Sanchez wiping a booger on brunell’s jersey?

He shoulda put Brunell is previously. He can’t be any worse, and st one time, he was considered in of the best QB’s in the NFL. Of course, that was 20 years ago.

I worked for Jets for 2 years. Last year, when Brunell started one of the last games, his dad came up to me in the Lexus Club. We started talking, said he was hoping his son wouldnt get injured etc. and He told me last year when Marc Brunell was getting snaps with the 1st team in practice, Sanchez through a temper tantrum in Rex’s and Schottys offices and all Brunnell did was laugh. Kid is whiney and has no heart.

I think Rexy has arranged a swinging date for me tonight. He said we’re going to do a Dirty Sanchez!

How can this work if everyone involved knows there is ZERO chance of Sanchez not starting? This worked last year because it could’ve happened, but everyone’s already shown their cards. This just seems silly now.

If you want Sanchez to actually feel threatened sign Kyle Orton.

A fine example of the difference in philosophy between the Jets and the Patriots;
Jets have Sanchize as their starter and Brunell as their backup.
Pats have Brady starting with Hoyer and Mallet as backups.
Which team are you betting on this week?

Really, is mark brunnel threatening to ANY NFL QB or opposing teams these days? I was done in DC and that was 4 years ago! He may as well bring Namath in as a back-up to motivate Sanchez.

If Sanchez wasn’t already motivated, and Mark Brunell getting snaps at practice really does motivate him, that’s all I need to know about him.

There’s no chance Mark Brunell will give them a chance to win. I don’t care how bad Sanchez has been, Brunell would be worst. It has to be a bluff.

I hate sanchez, dont get me wrong, i like the jets style, but sanchez doesnt fit, everytime he makes a clutch throw, whose catching it…plax who can catch anything thrown within 10 yards and holmes who can adjust to any ball you throw…dont get me wrong,, sanchez has potential, but he definately needs some competition to motivate him, i dont believe the jets can win with sanchez right now

Those that think that Matt Barkley is a better pro prospect than Andrew Luck need to take a close look at this. With the exception of Carson Palmer, USC QBs haven’t lit the NFL on fire despite two of them being 1st round picks.

I still get a kick out of fans ( all fans including myself ). I am a Denver fan so I am very subject to this. I wanted to point out though to you J.E.T.S Jets Jets Jets fans. That Ryan took you to 2 AFC Championships the last two yrs. As well turned around a very average franchise. So chill out.. Get healthy and please do not start Brunell!

Brunell gets winded just breaking the huddle.
No way he sees quality time unless Frito can’t go.

The real problem with the Jets is their O-line!!
Has anyone ever seen Hunter, Mulligan or Keller block? ME NEITHER!!! And their backs aren’t picking up blitzs well at all. Every team knows it that’s why whoever they put at QB will struggle as we’ve seen.

Rex is shifting the blaim away for himself and the piss poor job he did trying to coach last week against Denver. Have zero respect for this guy now that I know he is one heck of a coach when: he offensive line loaded with first round picks are healthy; his defensive backs that he got from other teamsfor a ton of money are healthy; his running backs are getting it done and the passing game is fair.
Take any of the above away and he is less than mediocre

Sanchez is not doing very good this season & shows no real sign of improvement. That said, he hasn’t been helped by an atrocious run game.

Man, Brunell was old in Washington, but I never had a problem with him though. Pretty solid qb in his day. He knew how to get Moss the deep ball. Kinda miss those days.

How do you motivate an arm? I mean the guy had questionable passing skills coming into the league. The only saving grace was he had a very good running game to work with. Now that his top runners are hurt and the show is on his back, his true lack of abiities are showing.

So I guess we blaim him and not the coaching staff, the poor offensive line play, the lack of running game for the Jets demise.

All the Jets problems can be traced to stupid personnel decisions on offense.

You draft a back (Greene) who will never average more than 3 ypc, add a third down back “classy guy” (Tommlinson) whose best years are 4 years in the rear view mirror, along with issues on the OL, and you end up with a running game that scares nobody. So the focus switch to the QB.

In the passing game they failed miserably with Mason, and let Cotchery and the idiot Edwards walk. You’re left with a convict and a dope smoker. Both of whom have out and out quit on pass routes numerous times this year.

As I see it, Sanchez has decent skills. The problem is he doesn’t own the huddle. The tail is wagging the dog. He doesn’t seem to have the type of personality that inspires, and he doesn’t have the stones to get in the face of Holmes or Burress. Maybe that will change, maybe it won’t. Giving Brunell snaps isn’t going to help.
