The answer is simple… when you have Sparano on staff! Enjoy our castoff!

Say what you will about Tebow’s QB play (and it is bad) but he has made the Jet’s millions and millions of dollars without even setting foot on the field.

——————————

you are very right, Tebow is hype and merchandising that serves as a great distraction from the reality about the team and takes up one of the most valuable slots on the team…..

and one day Sanchez will go down or deserve a benching and the Jets will pay back that money and temporary distraction by 300%

Most boring game I have watched in a while. Even my Panthers looked half asleep!!!

I thought Sanchez looked good last night. At the start of the game the OC allowed him some big throws in a hurry-up and he was accurate. Then they decided to go back to the ground and pound and short passes and once again the offense stalled.
The one interception by Sanchez was a very accurate pass to a wide open receiver who would have picked up the first down, but instead allowed the ball to bounce off his numbers and in to an interception. Not Sanchez’s fault.
Another drive was stalled on a personal foul penalty (which should have been negated by another player on Carolina taking off his helmet, but…replacement refs…).
Sanchez is accurate when he has time, and that was shown last night. Great job by the new RT.
Just allow Sanchez to be an NFL quarterback and things will happen. Stop with this ground and pound, short passes only crap. You need to protect the quarterback and allow him to throw for more than just 5 yard passes. When they do that, the Jets offense looks pretty good.

Honestly, with how bad the Jets looked last night, I would not be even slightly surprised if Rex Ryan wasn’t the head coach for the first game of the season. That was pathetic. Tebow still has that awkward throwing motion, Jets receivers couldn’t catch a ball that was handed to them and the o-line was not good. Could be a loooong season Jets fans.

I love how people keep referring to a Rex Ryan circus this year, when the only circus has actually been the Tebow coverage.

ALL that whining about Schottenheimer and now this! Guess that shows what us Jets fans know, huh? Apparently, he wasn’t the problem.

It’s clear there are many OCs in the stands who would do this job on an elite level, unfortunately, they have real jobs.

i joked last week…but I’m serious this week…Jets vs Bills week one…first ever NFL game to end in a tie 0/0…both offenses hardly capable of sustaining a drive…let alone scoring a touchdown…both defenses capable of pounding the snot out of opposing O lines…Pats fans should worry too, give the sorry Olines fielded to date…this could be the season of the Defenses in the AFC East….

Given that I am an old fart and have earned the right, I will continue to refer to these games as ‘exhibition’ games, if for not other reason except for the fact that the bean counters insist on calling them ‘preseason’ games.

If one actually gets paid for writing such as this – where do I sign up?

The jets are funny. In a weird kind of way they remind me of the red sox. If the jets’ d is as good as people say they’re gonna get a lot of time to prove it, because their o don’t seem too special, as in stay on the field for more than a few series and then kick.

the NFL has proven repeatedly that they will hire people who don’t perform, so I believe that Tebow will have a job next year….

what’s shocking is that somewhere in the Jets back office, they looked at 103 yards per game and 0.73 TDs per game and said: “we gotta have this guy!”

The media exposure for the Jets has been off the charts. Tebow has gotten more press this summer than any other QB in the league.

You know his fans are buying merchandize left and right.

Financially, Tebow is a home run for the Jets. Also, the media is fawning over him to the extent that they aren’t asking the Jets the tough questions regarding their offense, etc.

Except no. The first two offensive plays were 20+ yard plays to Dustin Keller and Turner, the next drive had a deep pass to Holmes that was literally only a step ahead of him, and the drive after that had 32 yarder to Hill. If you don’t understand why the Jets offense going deep is a big deal, you don’t have the knowledge to be in this discussion in the first place.

Also funny you should mention Braylon Edwards. Can you please name the deep threat that Mark Sanchez has had besides him? Hardly fair to criticize a QB for not going deep when he doesn’t actually have a wide receiver capable of doing that. I mean, it’s not like short yardage passes were the name of the game when Brian Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator, or anything.

I disagree, I think Tebow will still be on an NFL roster in 2013. I don’t think he’ll DESERVE to be there–he will be the worst QB in the league

I watched some of the playoffs from Buenos Aires last year. I really enjoyed listening to the Spanish language announcers. They would point out a nice play by an o-lineman just as readily as they would praise a quarterback or running back for making a play.

I think we must grow up learning that linemen are the big dumb guys, and that stereotype sticks with us. They don’t have that in South America, fans there see linemen as no different than any other player, line play as no less boring or incomprehensible than any other position.

Here’s how important preseason games are: Teams often don’t form an identity until about four to six weeks into the REGULAR SEASON.
I’m not suggesting that preseason games ought not be discussed, but let’s try to keep things in proper perspective: Preseason games are expensive PRACTICE games. They don’t count, but they do matter. They matter to those who were drafted after the third round, and to those who weren’t drafted at all.
Preseason games matter to aging veterans, who are trying to sell their abilities. They matter to over-priced placekickers and punters.
This site ought to be pointing out that the Steelers have a couple veteran quarterbacks who have performed very well in the preseason. Byron Leftwich, who hasn’t played much the past couple of seasons, has had an outstanding preseason. He looks like a quarterback who is now healthy and still able to be a starter somewhere.
Preseason is not the place to be hyping unproven rookie quarterbacks. The legacies of Andy and Bob should not nor will be established in any preseason.
Let’s all get a grip.

Well its year 4…you’d hope Sanchez os comfortable “airing it out” to Patrick Turner (why isnt this guy in the CFL yet) 10 yards downfield.

Problem is, Sanchez isnt a deep passer. Hes a 3-step & throw QB. When asked to, he usually sails any pass over 15 yards. Only time he’d complete any is with Braylon Edwards’ assistance.

Tom Brady is going to take some hits this year. The Bills DL is one of the best, and capable of getting pressure up the middle without blitzing.

The Jets look like they struck gold with Wilkerson and Coples. Plus Aaron Maybin as a situational speed rusher.

The Dolphins can bring it with Cameron Wake and a healthy Odrick.

On the plus side for the Pats, they may only have to score 10 points to beat any of their division opponents.

In 2010 the Panthers went the whole preseason without scoring an offensive touchdown….it was a strong sign of the season to come.

The Jets offense is hard to watch. The running game does not exist. Tebow cannot throw accurately and Sanchez has no one to throw too so if the Jets go 8-8 then they should consider this a good year. Unfortunately, I can easily see them going 5-11.

By: nyjalleffingday

nyjalleffingday — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 03:43:07 +0000

Seriously? Way to push a narrative. Sanchez was not offensive in the least. He was accurate, made good decisions and was unafraid to air it out. If not for drops that should have been routine catches, he would have completed at least 4 more passes and would have at least 1 less interception. Even still, he completed 68% of his passes.

That’s not to say there wasn’t a lot of bad play, Sanchez needs to make that pass in the endzone, and be able to get that deep ball to Holmes, the O-Line got no push in the run game and that needs to change, Shonn Greene looked poor which is very scary and TE depth is getting thin, and not being able to score touchdowns is concerning especially when you have obnoxious Dolphins fans in your ear about Sparano. However, this is the first game the brand new Jets offense has actually had time to do anything now that Hunter was benched. When he did play, he was getting destroyed by 3rd stringers. And let’s not forget- it’s still preseason.

Saintsfan wrong Tebow will be starting for the Jets by week ten.

Also howard looked fine as long as he was getting help. His feet ate horrible
