i disagree. I have yet to see him step up or avoid the rush. i agree, he made a nice pass to Stuckey under three guys . just watch in Week one how many times, with Mario Williams breathing down his neck, Sanchez takes the snap and immediately sprints back and to the right. That is, of course, if he is not faking a draw.
You're making a prediction. Also, you have yet to see him avoid the rush??? Are u serious? You are contradicting urself. Yeah he likes to roll towards his right, but only when pressured and to avoid the rush. Check out his USC videos on youtube and you'll know he does an even better job in the pocket, bombing 60 yarders. Thats right.
usc footage means nothing to me. kellen clemens ripped it up in the Pac 10, too. And Matt Leinart looked like Johnny Unitas at USC, that doesn't mean anything in the NFL. stay in the pocket.
one COULD say he merely chucked the thing up there and that the only reason that it was caught or not intercepted was because there was NOBODY around stuckey. HOWEVER he did display a very good arm and recognized the blown coverage.
We are talking about staying in the pocket and see how they perform. To me, it looks like he did pretty good in the pocket in college. You are basically questioning his pocket pressence, and he has already shown that in college. The only difference is, it was college. Does that mean his pocket awareness becomes irrelevant? No. He did a great job in the pocket at USC. He has done an awesome job on the run in the NFL. You add that up and you get a QB that can handle the game nicely. Thats all I care.
Yeah u can say that because he did chuck it up there. Thats the negative way of looking at. The positive way is that the ONLY reason he chucked it up there was cuz he found stuckey wide open. Theres no reason not to chuck it towards him, he's wide open. He probably would have thrown it away if Stuckey wasn't wide opnen. Thing to note is that he showed arm strength while running backwards (30+ yards in the air), and that he created time, found an open receiver and the rest was history.
No doubt if Stuckey wasn't there it might well have fallen incomplete and if a Giants defender was there it might well have been intercepted. Good thing Stuckey was there all by himself.
pockets come in all shapes, sizes, and angles - like women...... seriously the pockets this young man was used to at USC are nothing like the pockets he has and will see up here... that being said - his awareness should be the MOST improved factor moving forward from game 1 to game 16. it is average at best now but thats OK. after 16 NFL games average at best won't be OK. jil
haha, still having a problem with Sanchez being our qb? the last part of your post seems to be the reason why he made the pass. if stuckey isnt wide open i think he throws the ball away.
the giants blew the coverage and stuckey was wide open. lets not make the guy out to be Len Dawson here. Bottom line: In two games against two tough, fast and aggressive defenses the kid showed flashes. He didn't make you fall off your seat and annoint him into the Hall of Fame, but he didn't make you scared that he is the starter either. Lets just judge him on what he does from here on out, not what he did in college. If you want I'm sure there is some fabulous Vernon Gholston highlights from Ohio State on you tube.
so you're going to be that guy? Isn't not in your best interest to hate Sanchez? If you're right, then your team will suck and won't that be worse than you being correct about the new franchise QB?
I didnt see like that at all. What I saw was a qb that had the mindset to know only stuckey would have made that catch. Sanchez was looking dowfield and if there were a Giant defender..he would have tossed it out of bounds or taken the sack. Im not sure how anyone might be saying he was lucky a giant defender wasnt there. That ball stayed airborne pretty long and still no Giant defender was near it. Sanchez knew only Stuckey could get to that ball. It was thrown on the money to top it all off. The ball had no chance of being intercepted and no chance of falling incomplete. It could have only been dropped by Stuckey. Great throw.
Yeah in College. You seem to acknowledge that fact that is was Gholston in college and fail to realize that Sanchez made that pass against a championship pass rush with three of them breathing down his neck. If he folded the tent and took the sack we'd be complaining about our line getting the new QB killed in preseason and screaming for new O-Linemen. Never credit when its due, just more speculation to negate progress, optimism, or even realism. but I digress..... nope Instead, Jet fans invent the excuse of: It would have been picked if Stuckey wasn't there. DURRR i'm so smart!!!! I've come to the realization that Bills and Vikings fans deserve a ring more than our gloomy pussy fanbase. I'm really tired of it.
One could also say that he merely chucked the ball up and a crosswind luckily pushed the ball directly to Stuckey - a crosswind caused by the rippling effects of a butterfly farting in Spain caused a chain of events that also resulted in a wildfire in California, and earthquake in India and a sneezing fit in Topeka for a very fat man sitting in a field of daisies. Sometimes One is looking for too many rationalizations, and should make things simple by judging matters as they appear. Sanchez threw the ball to the open man.
The throw was pretty much on the money. That being said it was a little lofty, if I remember correctly. Hopefully he doesn't plan on dropping those bombs in there with tight coverage. Either way, the play was completed for a huge gain. How can you fault him for that? I don't care if he Mr. Magoo's his way to huge completions, uses voodoo or some other form of unexplainable fortune. If the end result is a completion, I'm down.
