Tebow needs to pray for Sanchez to get some of that “NFL HOLY SPIRIT” on him that Tebow is full of. It has nothing to do with staying at USC another year.

Let the religious nut-jobs start the thumbs down.

Sorry let me retract my previous comment. Sorry Rex, Sanchez is 30th and Weeden is 32nd.

Yeah Rex, Sanchez is incredible. QBR behind the five rookies starting right now!!!!

Yes – so the best thing to do with a kid who left college too early is to force him into a starting role with a bombastic coach who “guarantees” the kid will lead the team to a Super Bowl.

No pressure.

Then when that doesn’t happen and the kid’s confidence is most fragile, have that same coach make the same guarantee the next year.

Genius.

Pete is a man who is always concerned with the welfare of his players. He is a coach with a big heart and speaks the truth when others will not.

yeah rex ryan is right it is hard to find a guy like sanchez, bec most of the QBs that start now are so good that its hard to find a guy in this 4th year whos worse than any rookie on the field this year and still cant make any throws…act i think i remember him having more crisp throws his rookie year than any pass i seen this year….

i didnt agree with the most overrated headcoach sentiment but now i have to, rex clearly has blind faith and just cant see what 99% of america sees…sanchez is a backup QB and should be holding a clipboard weekly. him being to loyal will cost him his career as a head coach no doubt.

Rex Ryan is the biggest problem for the Jets. Constantly hyping up your terrible players gives them little incentive to play with urgency. Sanchez is one of the worst starters in the NFL if not the worst (after Matt Cassel).

It doesn’t matter now. The whole point became moot after Sanchez’s first year as a pro.

Heading into Sanchez’s second year as a pro does anybody believe that a senior year in college would have prepared him better than a rookie year in the NFL?

It’s doesn’t make any sense or serve any purpose to keep going on and on about it.

Why is anyone taking issue with this statement? It’s obviously true, and if any other coach said it they would agree.

Sanchez made the right decision for himself. He sucks but he is making boatloads of money and banging hot chicks left and right. Maybe if he stayed another year it would have proved he sucked and it would have cost him millions. He is one lucky SOB, he sucks at his job but still gets paid millions.

I’m not a big Pete Carroll fan, but he’s right on this one. Sanchez was less prepared for the NFL than those replacement refs who botched the Inaccurate Reception.

Sanchez would have sucked with 5 more years at USC.

He’s your typical college ball QB and nothing more.

Carson Palmer is the only quarterback to come out of USC and have any kind of success in the NFL lately. If it wasn’t for Kimo von Oelhoffen’s dirty blow to his knee I believe that he’d still be a very succesful quarterback with the Bengals.

Translation: Stay away from Matt Barkley in the draft.

I’m sure he probably would NOT have ended up in New York. And he probably wishes he’d stayed another year.

How’s that working out for Matt Barkley ?

That’s a fair assessment. The organization he’s in doesn’t really fit him as a person though. I feel he’d be better learning under a vet for an extra year so he appreciate the job more and learns more.

If Sanchez plays another year of college everyone would have found out he’s not that great – just like we’re finding out with Barkley and found out with Brian Brohm.

There aren’t enough years of college eligibility for USC quarterbacks to be prepared for the NFL.

There are alot of Jets fans that wish Sanchez heeded Pete Carroll’s advice and stayed in school.

Pete Carroll knows everything, in Pete Carroll’s opinion.

Keep running, Pete!
