Sanchez is best compared to joe Flacco Both are below avg qb's who benefit greatly from a good defense and a solid run game. Their teams wins games because they play close games and if their qb is not to much of a liability that game they win the game. Only difference is fans never had high expectations for Joe Flacco like they did Sanchez.
Joe Flacco is way better than Sanchez. Flacco has height, pure arm strength, and knows how to throw the deep passes. I know that Flacco has his ups and downs, but he is way better than Mark. I'm fed up with Sanchez.
Sanchez is not in Flacco's league. Flacco can stand in the pocket and actually throw the ball down the field unlike Sanchez. Watch Flacco play, he might not be great, but he actually looks at more than 1/3 of the field. Unlike Sanchez you can see his head move and scan the field during a play. Flacco unlike Sanchez is a tough guy who can sit in the pocket and make a play or extend the play. he does not fold up into a fetal position at the first sign of a rush. Sanchez can play when his recieverrs are wide open and there is no rush. He can hit his slants, play action and TE over the middle if the defense sells out against the run. But for Sanchez to work everything has to be perfect for him. There is no QB more protected than Sanchez. The entire offense is designed around protecting Sanchez from making a mistake. That is why we run all the 1-3 step drops. He cannot simply sit in the pocket and be trusted. Flacco while inconsistent can play the game without the need of trainingg wheels and a life jacket. Flacco is a real NFL QB not a flag foorball player like Sanchez.
So was Ryan Leaf sometimes you just know when a quarterback is just a bust. Just watch Sanchez play from a Nfl fans standpoint not a Jets fans and forget that he was drafted 5th overall and is making 17 mil a year, just see that he is lost most of the game. You can't suddenly pickup Nfl capabilities when you don't have them. We didn't draft the scrub 4 years out of college just 1 year and anyone can be good for 1 year in college. 52 games or whatever he played is more then enough to determine wether or not your a Nfl Qb. If we want a below avg qb start Mcelroy or draft someone in the 3rd round and save the cap space.
now we are comparing Sanchez to Ryan Leaf???!!!???!! WTF?!?! He had no offensive line and lost his best receiver. He's running for life on most plays. Yeah its all him
Running for life? Besides 2 games this year his offensive line has been average-above avg. The only games where he ran for life was Baltimore and maybe the Giants.
He wasn't running for his life in the Eagles game or the Patriots game? When he's had time he's been very good.
And when he had time to throw what happened in the Patriots game? couldn't shred a 32 ranked defense with 9 safeties on ir? I guess the offensive line made him call that retarded timeout to right? Im sure all the other qbs in the league woulda done the same? Can't teach stupid right?
That's what a game like yesterdays will do. Fracture the fan base. The Giants played like shit, and we couldn't even put up a decent performance. Slapdick. That's what we are.
Yup just look at our 2nd half of the season schedule how we played so bad still boggles my mind we had like the easiest schedule in the league. Then look who performed the worst over that span and that is our quarterback.
Let the stats prove it themselves - Joe Flacco (2008) vs Mark Sanchez (2009) rookie years: Flacco: 2,971 yards 14 TD, 12 INT Sanchez: 2,444 yards 12 TD, 20 INT _____________________________________________ Joe Flacco in 2009 - 3,613 21 TD, 12 INT _____________________________________________ Last two years - 2010: Joe Flacco 3,622 yards 25 TD, 10 INT Mark Sanchez 3,291 yards 17 TD, 13 INT 2011 (current): Joe Flacco 3,480 yards 19 TD, 12 INT Mark Sanchez 3,267 yards 24 TD, 15 INT
Behind every talented offensive line is a good running game, an above avg quarter back, and a team with a winning season. Coincidence? Before Tanny decided to draft and start a rookie QB with virtually no college experience, he should have built a devistating, young o-line with a strong future. After that he could have brought Ryan Leaf out of retirement and walked home with the Lombardi. He succomed to the the 'win now' pressure every GM faced and put the cart in front of the horse. Now? No amount of 'tinkering' will bail us out. Shotty? well, you can game plan around an injured receiver or a TE with a sore foot, but you can't game plan around an o-line that gets your QB killed routinely 1.2 seconds after the ball is snapped. Short of running Greene 64 times and throwing 19 screens and slants a game, there really ain't much left. It's not time to 'start over'. It's time to build a devistating o-line, and quick.
Sanchez has played better this year than Flacco despite inferior running backs, receivers, and o-line. Flacco is in his 4th yr and played 4 yrs at school, Sanchez is in his 3rd yr and played a whopping 16 games in college. Sanchez plays great in the postseason while Flacco shits himself. Please. Also this 'deep ball' you talk about, have you watched any Ravens games this year? They complete so many passes because they have a ton of attempts ALL to the same player; Torrey Smith. They essentially let Smith run a fly route 5-7 times a day and Flacco just bombs it to him. The Jets don't have a receiver that comes close to his speed.
Do you guys think that we should build around Sanchez by putting our money, draft picks, etc. mostly into o-line, backs and receivers for the next few seasons? or should we continue to maintain identity as a defensive team and focus our energies on that end of the ball? This off-season marks a major decision point for the future of our franchise. Either choose to build around a mediocre QB (assuming Peyton or someone else doesn't come here instead) or solidify the defense and running game, maintaining the ground-and-pound philosophy.
If you compare ( just to throw out a name - Bret Favre's first 3 years in the NFL, not counting the first year when he sat mostly) to Mark Sanchez's, their stats are very close. To call Mark mediocre after compiling a winning record in his first three years is a bit ludicrous. Give him the right offensive co-ordinator as was the case with Drew Brees, then perhaps he'll realize his potential. I don't feel with the present coaching system, he is put in the right position to develop his abilities.
