Sanchez

[OldDawg]

I was never a huge fan of his, but it is hard for a brown's fan to be critical of anyone else's quarterback.

However, he is no longer the golden boy he started out to be...

Anyone still upset we didn't draft him at 5 instead of trading down?

[Hikohadon]

I know one person who will probably say yes.

[holierthanthou]I, for the record, was never upset we didn't take him and never will be.[/holierthanthou]

[Triple-S]

"Franchise", not "Elite".

He's Dilfer with a bit more of a personality, and a better offense.

The Jets are a perfect example of a team reaching its absolute ceiling under a non-stellar QB.

SD:

Dude won four playoff games in his first two years while riding a solid running game and a hard hitting defense and took his team to the precipice just like Kosar only earlier early in his career. , then their running game slipped to 20th in the league their defense was All Ryan mouth and they replaced his speed wideout with a an ex con while the Team captain went looney tunes.

Shottenheimer will not be back , as Sanchez regressed this year like Colt Mccoys baby sister .

However with the right coach he's still salvageable , and even in the mess he's at now is preferable to anything colt put up .

Kid fell apart with no small help from his head coach and captain pulling against him .

That locker room is in shambles and their problems are bigger than Sanchez , yet he remains the biggest key and the fastest link to them turning it around.

The ironic part to all of this , had Mangy chosen Sanchez , he might still be here.

His career completion percentage is 55.3%, 6.51 yards/attempt, barely a 1:1 TD:INT ratio. Any way you slice it, he's terrible.

You said it yourself; he had been propped up by a great D and great running game. When those went by the wayside, so did he.


He had at least one turnover in 13 of 16 games this year. Seven interceptions in the last three games when all the Jets needed was one win to get into the playoffs. 27th in yards/attempt and 23rd in QB rating, behind such luminaries as Tavaris Jackson and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

SD, I respect the way you've kept in Sanchez's corner through thick and thin, but even you have to be doubtful about his ability to ever win the Ring.

And if you can't win the Ring, then you ain't got "The Thing".

just trying to keep some perspective without being unreasonable . had this kid who now has a better record than Bernie in his first three yeras done the same in Cleveland as NY would we be hearing all these Jacked up takes .

Especially coming from a set who thinks a mutt like Colt Mccoy is just a misunderstood superstar in waiting.

Sanchez did well in his first three years within the jacked up scheme of that offense in the most pressure filled atmosphere in football .

Yes he had a relapse this year , but there are mitigating circumstances .

Unlike Colt who never exhibited 1/10 the arm or the ability to make the same plays under pressure , he still is salvageable , that he'll ever be elite is doubtful .

But well worth another shot next year.

SD:

Thats all I'm saying , Ryan mouth wrote tickets his team couldn't cash this year .

They had no running game , but insisted on being a run first team which brings extreme pressure on you to convert third downs when the defense knows you have to pass.

Sanchez is a mobile QB not an exclusive drop back pocket passer , but they never played to this strength didn't throw on first down to change tendencies and were damn near as predictable as the Browns in their play calling .

The similar stupid sheit Browns QB's endured here with defensive minded coaches going all the way back to Mumbles before he understood the value to your defense of having a prolific offense.

And '

While Sanchez is no superstar by any stretch his ability to make plays is far superior to any of the drek we fielded around here this past decade.

He would have provided Mangy the competence at the position to compliment his defense and allowed him to retain his job.

The same ones who defied their own lieing eyes end of 2010 when he was tossing picks like Halloween candy still won't own up to his faults .

No matter .

Sanchez regressed without a doubt , but even shell shocked and with a loss in confidence colt still couldn't carry his jock .

That same kid won four playoff games where he had to make plays for them to win , and dueled Manning and Rottenberger on the eve of a superbowl just like what we experienced with Bernie coming as close with no cigar losing both .

Yes he regressed , is his football life over with as a result as maybe with Colt .

You know, when I accidentally listen to Cleveland sports talk in my car, I have to say that this is true. There is no end to idiots calling in blaming every shitty play on the Line, receivers, coach...everything but Colt himself.

I haven't seen that around here as much, though.

Wrong yet again. This year, the Jets had a 55/45 split in their play-calling in favor of the pass culminating in a 59 attempt game for Sanchez vs. the Giants.

Let me know the last QB you saw ever win a starting job and take his team to two straight division Championship games in his first two years starting with your idol .

Well Roethlisberger didn't win the starting job out of camp but he took over and took the Steelers to the AFC title game in 04, then won the Super Bowl in 2005. In both he and Sanchez's cases, a dominant defense was involved.

Sanchez was starter from day one , ben didn't do so good the folowing year after his face had a date with the windshield .

The Jets finished 8-8 in disarray , yet we're busting on Mark like they just went 4-11 and it was all his fault.

and yeah that 59 play passing game speaks well of how effective their running game was ......not.

Like I said his three year record is a match for anybody even after coming up short on this run ,his shortcomings are magnified by a clueless Ryan who exasperated the problems inherant in the position especially in NY and their personnel problems were an open wound exposed recently by late season implosions by their so called team captain snitched out in detail by a fourth string rookie on IR .

The Dysfunction couldn't have been ovecome by a Tom Brady let alone a QB whose coach foolishly and deliberately under cut him.

Sanchez had a bad year and regressed , but he's hardly Charlie McCoy earmarked as a career backup .

Said this weeks ago, and it is not a problem that will be cured.

No matter what other skills you possess, you CAN NOT play the game slowly. Not time for it anymore. The good ones are successful in 3 or 4 reciever sets for a reason. When Sanchez makes it a one receiver set it makes things pretty simple, you got one reciver to concentrate on, one guy to pay attention to the checkdown, and everyone else jumpin' routes that the ball will be delivered late too cause his brain ain't workin' fast enough.

No we can argue the regular season was maintained on the strength of their running game and defense , but for them to win four playof games , you'll notice marks play was both exceptional and instrumental in those wins .

His play has been superior to any of the dog trot around here in Cleveland the last ten yeras but hardly World class elite , but a record of two playoff s in his first three years and two conference division Championships one game removed from the superbowl ain't dog meat .

Not to mention all his playoff games were played on the road as the wild card team which makes that record all the more impressive.

Had the man done the same for the Browns picked at 5 we'd be positively crowing all mitigating circumstances being equal.

Back in the day , all those guys trained different , Bobby lane Boozed all night and chased whores .

Joe Namath was a playboy , but he damn sure was nobodies slouch , he knew the game and as a Bear Bryant alum he didn't have a half ass understanding of the game.

On Sanchez we'll agree to disagree .

Mark has not taken his game to that second level , where you recognize where your going with the ball while your under center based on your recognition of the defense , you'll know whose open due to the mismatch .

That's what Namath had ,that's why Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees are damn near unstoppable along with Tom Brady , and thats why Eli is creeping into that circle where he can be considered elite .

This is where Sanchez game is lame , he works , but it is not his consuming passion to be the absolute best .

In part his inexperience and inability to break down the defense thru recognition is the blame , he's a sight thrower , and the truly elite throw because they know you'll be open before you make that break based on the mismatch when you break the huddle and they read their read of the coverage .

Marks regression is due to confusion amongst other things , a truly focused dedicated hard as nail pro wouldn't have let his game slip to the distractions unless a bomb went off , but mark was too accommodating too diplomatic when he needed to be a rock hard prick .

You can't be every bodies friend all the time , sometimes the unreasonable Mutha fucka who won't bend is integral to command.

Natural leaders know this instinctually , young recruits with mommas millk still on their breath are reborn as rock hard marines .

Trent Dilfer.

[gameface]

Santonio Holmes = major cancer, so bad he got run out of Pittsburgh. Derrick Mason came in, bitched about Shotty, got run. Cotchery punched his own ticket out of NY, and he was missed. O line issues. Sanchez puts in hours, but he's a young millionaire dating models and taking advantage of NYC temptations.

Not sure if he'll ever be elite, but he's servicable, and if he matures and applies himself a bit more, he's still got some upside.

No matter what, I'm pretty sure the Jets don't regret drafting him, or buying a year of high mileage Favre. They needed a culture change, and they got it. They're way farther along than when Mangini packed his bags for Cleveland.

They may go up or down from here, it all depends on how the coaching staff adjusts and how well they can heal their locker room. Sanchez is still a kid, to expect him to take control of a vet team (especially with his mild personality) is kind of premature. Ryan says he's keeping Schottenheimer, Holmes and Sanchez in place. Fat Rex believes he can coach any headcase, so we'll see.

It'll be interesting. Even if Ryan implodes next season and the Jets re-fill the HC position, they're in better shape than they were, and the stink of losing is at least partially washed away.

Wish the Browns could say the same.

From the same article, some secondary opinions:




Sanchez, who has two years remaining on his rookie contract, wasn’t the lone culprit on the 25th-ranked offense. He was sacked 39 times. Edge pass rushers routinely beat left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson and right tackle Wayne Hunter, who allowed a combined 19 sacks — or 48% of the team total, according to Pro Football Focus. Sanchez lost confidence after getting hit so many times, according to several teammates. One Jets source admitted that Sanchez “worked his ass off” to correct his mistakes in meetings, but he was soon buried under an avalanche of offensive breakdowns on game days.

“At one point, he was looking at the (pass) rush and wasn’t seeing the receivers,” a team source said. “I think that’s a lack of confidence in what we’re doing. I think that's a lack of confidence in how we’re protecting him... When you get hit the way that he got hit, there were some quarterbacks that wouldn’t have made it through the season.”

Some of Sanchez’s teammates thought it was unfair to pin a lost season all on their young quarterback.

“Everybody got down on the quarterback,” a Jets source said. “But they weren’t looking at the situations we were putting him in. I don’t think he’s as bad as people are making him out to be. When the ---- started snowballing and he lost confidence, he never recovered. Then, you saw him making one stupid throw and one stupid mistake after another.”

The complex game plans didn't help matters, according to several people. Sanchez had difficulty absorbing the weekly wrinkles and changes, teammates said.

“So many games, he looked defeated before he ever took the field,” a team source said. “He didn’t have much confidence in what he was about to go do. You could tell throughout the week in practice. He never felt comfortable with some of the things we were doing. It was too much for him.”

Not surprised by this, you have a bad year in an office with 50 people, it's not hard to find 5 that will hate the boss or the manager. Remember that their 3rd string QB came out last week and stated that the Jet locker room was a toxic mess. Where's the truth, does Sanchez "work his ass off" or is he lazy and entitled?

From the same article, some secondary opinions:




Sanchez, who has two years remaining on his rookie contract, wasn’t the lone culprit on the 25th-ranked offense. He was sacked 39 times. Edge pass rushers routinely beat left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson and right tackle Wayne Hunter, who allowed a combined 19 sacks — or 48% of the team total, according to Pro Football Focus. Sanchez lost confidence after getting hit so many times, according to several teammates. One Jets source admitted that Sanchez “worked his ass off” to correct his mistakes in meetings, but he was soon buried under an avalanche of offensive breakdowns on game days.

“At one point, he was looking at the (pass) rush and wasn’t seeing the receivers,” a team source said. “I think that’s a lack of confidence in what we’re doing. I think that's a lack of confidence in how we’re protecting him... When you get hit the way that he got hit, there were some quarterbacks that wouldn’t have made it through the season.”

Some of Sanchez’s teammates thought it was unfair to pin a lost season all on their young quarterback.

“Everybody got down on the quarterback,” a Jets source said. “But they weren’t looking at the situations we were putting him in. I don’t think he’s as bad as people are making him out to be. When the ---- started snowballing and he lost confidence, he never recovered. Then, you saw him making one stupid throw and one stupid mistake after another.”

GF, what's the word on the street there in NY regarding Sanchez?

Tannenbaum and Ryan say they're committed to him, but they said the same thing about Schottenheimer, and he's home working on his resume. Obviously, their locker room is a mess. Now we'll see how good Ryan really is. They also say they're keeping Holmes, and that could be an issue, but they've got no one to take his place. I also wonder if Holmes was the one feeding the Daily News those quotes. Consensus on the yakking is that whatever the gripes are, it should have been handled outside the press. But hey, this kind of bitchin ain't nothing new.

From the fan standpoint, opinion is all over the place. I'd say the rational middle is Sanchez gets next year to show progress, or they'll look to cut bait. And most would like to see a viable veteran backup to push him/be a fall back option.

Of course, they'd all cream themselves if Manning somehow showed up.

Interesting appearance by LDT on Inside The NFL:

And it's pretty clear he's not going back to the Jets next year.

Actually seemed like he was throwing his hat in the ring for a post-football analyst job, and based on that, he'll get one.
