they are looking at play sheets, or talking to coaches, or working things with the O line, or jazzing up the WRs, or talking blocking over with the line coach, or working on throwing motion… something….

when the cam is on Sanchez on the sideline… even when they are down by 7 with 2 minutes left…. he is always joking, smiling, and sitting on the bench waiting for the next series… and he’s almost always alone….

that speaks volumes…… Sanchez was never the guy… but Rexxy had to marry him…..

I agree that whoever picks players for the NYJ is the most to blame. They mangled their receiver corps pretty badly and they handed out some bad contracts, both of which hindered Sanchez who is at best likely a “win with him not more because of him” type QB. I’ve never understood the whole” if a guy isn’t a great QB we shouldn’t get any talent around him to help him” thing. Talent helps your team regardless of who the QB is. And once you find that top level guy, it will help him even more. Look at the Pats when TB went down. They had Moss, Welker, Gaffney and a team willing to fit the O to his skills. Think that didn’t help Cassel, who is a similar type of player to Sanchez?

I don’t know, I think the playoff wins his first two years were the “red herring”. I’ll give Sanchez credit for playing some good football in the playoffs, but he has never been that good and the Jets were lucky to even be in the playoffs both his first two years (2009 Colts and Bengals both rested starters the final two weeks, 2010 Sanchez led the league in dropped INTs and could have had way worse numbers) Sanchez’s play is definitely one of the real issues the Jets have.

As far as Sanchez goes, he’s just not a very good quarterback and probably won’t ever be. After 4 years, his best completion percentage is 56.7% (30 quarterbacks have a better completion percentage this year than Sanchez). He has a 1:1 touchdown to interception ratio (again, 30 quarterbacks have better ratios this season). He already ranks in the top 175 in NFL history for fumbles after only 4 seasons.

On the bright side, he was at the controls when they went to 2 AFC Championship games. But let’s face reality, that was more about defense than Sanchez.

No one blames Tom Brady when he gets the new do or man purse, or when Peyton appears in a new commercial, so let’s not argue about that. Instead, I would just prefer to look at Sanchez for what he is: a mediocre starting NFL quarterback, at best.

Not in a “I’m taking responsibility” type of way, more in a “I’m really not sure I am good enough” type of way.

That always stayed with me. I just can’t imagine Brady, Brees, Rodgers, or certainly any of the past greats saying something like that.

Seems like the writer of this story has a man-crush on Sanchez.

There is no bigger issue with the Jets than Sanchez. There is no way you can say he’s not the biggest problem.

Much of his horrible play on Monday had little to do with the offensive line… it was just BAD football. It was the first MNF game I shut off early. Just too bad to even finish watching that game.

The Jets need a change, and Sanchez needs some reeducation and training to attempt to regain what he had earlier on. It’s in the guys head, and his team has given up on him.

The Broncos just moved up to number one in the SI power rankings, the single season receiving, rushing and sack records are in danger of being broken and we’ve got about 6 Jets stories in 24 hours…

And how many times does Sanchez himself say, “I can’t do those stupid things”, and he goes out and does the same stupid things.

Talent bust. Intelligence bust.

Bust

By that logic, what gives the author authority to defend Sanchez in this situation? Did he put in the preparation necessary to become an elite QB, so he is more qualified than Jenkins? IF the standard the demanded is that one who didn’t do what is necessary to prepare can not question another’s preparation, how can a writer ever criticize a professional athlete?

My point is that you don’t have to be an elite QB to know what it takes to be an elite QB. The author’s defense of Sanchez is no more valid than Jenkins’ criticism, yet not only does the author give HIS opinion, he dismisses Jenkins’ opinion.

Ridiculous.

Jets are far better off without him.
