Sanchez Admits He Has to Keep Emotions in Check

WhiteShoeWillis · 10-21-2009, 05:27 PM

Quote:

After the worst game of his life, Mark Sanchez received a simple text message from former USC quarterback Carson Palmer: �Keep slinging it.�

The Jets rookie quarterback admitted he�s had �lots of voices� trying to lift his spirits after his nightmarish five-interception performance (complete with 8.3 passer rating) in the Jets� overtime loss to the Bills Sunday.

�Life goes on,� Sanchez said Wednesday. �You got to move on.�

The rookie attributed his horrible day to �poor decision making� and �physical mistakes.�

Most of all, Sanchez � who was visibly shaken on the sidelines during the game and noticeably upset in the post-game gathering with the media � said he can�t leave all his emotions on his sleeves.

�Nobody�s saying to be a robot,� Sanchez said. �Nobody�s saying not to get excited when you throw a touchdown and not get upset when you throw an interception. But there�s got to be some sort of happy medium in there. That�s something that�s difficult. They know I care. This means the world to me. When it doesn�t go right, it�s like, �Man, what am I doing? I�m letting these guys down. Figure it out. It�s killing us.� It�s okay to be upset. But it�s one of those things where I don�t need to hang my head.�

Sanchez was also cognizant that his let too many of his emotions show.

�Anybody could have seen it,� Sanchez said. �I might as well could have had a sandwich board sign on. It�s just something that needs to be fixed.�

On the field, he�s still striving to be more consistent. His see-saw rookie season can�t continue, he said.

�You want to be just more consistent with throws, reads, everything,� he said. �The team doesn�t need a rollercoaster at quarterback� As bad it gets, I still feel like there�s something good coming right around the corner.�

22...the kid is practically a freaking baby.

The Grim Revis · 10-21-2009, 05:39 PM

I love Sanchez.

NDmick · 10-21-2009, 05:39 PM

experience, experience, experience.

16 starts in college, 22 all together.

patience. This was coming. Every rookie has the shit game after tape being on you. Just let him go through the growing pains. He'll toughen up. Its NY.

ukilledkenny · 10-21-2009, 05:40 PM

he has said the right things from the very beginning i hope he can follow through.

xxedge72x · 10-21-2009, 05:45 PM

The kid will be fine.

For real, he is our franchise/Sanchize. He be aight.

I still think he looks good moving around in the pocket...The future is looking bright.

jetsyankeesfan6 · 10-21-2009, 05:56 PM

I hope that that corner is really close. There are some plays where he does a great job of looking off the coverage and then some where he just stares at the intended receiver. If he gets more consistent, as he will as he gains experience, Sanchez will definitely be our Sanchize.

Something makes me think his old man told him to grow up a little....

I did not see tears in the postgame press conference. Maybe there were before, or maybe it was just one of those dejected things. He looked down, that's for sure....but I don't think he was crying...maybe trying not to though.

I read today that "Stafford is clearly better than Sanchez"....I don't think anyone can say that right now....so Mark had 2 bad games and his mistakes cost the team and everyone's talking about it. If Stafford's defense wasn't getting lit up every week, there'd be a lot more "Stafford blows the game" headlines....he just has the 'benefit' of being on a horrible team.

Chad Henne wouldn't cry. He never shows emotion.

sackexchange · 10-21-2009, 06:46 PM

I still really like Sanchez and I think that he has a great attitude. These are growing pains that he's going through that he will hopefully grow out of before too long. He has already shown more promise than Clemens has in his 3+ years.

And you Dolphin fans should probably wait a bit longer before you start sucking each others' dicks over Chad Henne.

If Stafford were even playing right now, we'd be seeing those headlines.

I'm firmly convinced that the only thing that could possibly put Sanchez's success in jeopardy is if some drunk Jets fan hits him with a slurpee after a rough game. "You suck, Sanchez!" No, you suck, Vaynerchuk.

Of course he wouldn't. Nobody, including himself, expect him to accomplish anything.

EnigmatiC · 10-21-2009, 07:36 PM

Sanchez is gonna be fine I'm really not worried about it. So what if he has had a couple of bad games? He has already shown us what he is capable of. Not to mention he did some great things against Miami lets not forget that.

Jetzz · 10-21-2009, 07:37 PM

I like this kid so far, I enjoy his enthusiasm and excitement playing the game, as well as his being hard on himself in the event of a loss. He had good reason to be upset after that loss. I'd rather see him upset like he was than be like "whatever" kinda attitude, or up there giving us all the right words, etc, etc..

Christian · 10-21-2009, 07:38 PM

I expect Sanchez to have more shitty games similar to this before the season ends. He can only learn from these mistakes and he'll get better from them in the end.

Stafford plays in detroit, where the media won't kill him for bad games either.

I will say this. Because Rex is more media friendly than Coughlin, and Sanchez is better looking, more well spoken, and more likable than Eli - they will both get more time than those two to come together and make this thing work.

Oh come on. Dolphin fans never wait to start sucking each other's dicks.

Sanchez will be fine. He responded just like I would have hoped today. He acknowledged the problem with candor, and he is clearly addressing it. The biggest thing helping him right now is that willingness and ability to learn and adapt. Not every QB has that, and a lot of them flame out for it.

Br4dw4y5ux · 10-21-2009, 08:40 PM

I think Sanchez is going to be fine. All the qualities we're seeing right now in his personality, both good and bad, say that he wants to do really well and he wants the Jets to win. Like he says he just needs to do a better job of containing the lows both on the field and on the sidelines.

I'm happier with him right now than I have ever been with a Jets QB at this point in his career.
