Does anyone else think this is going to be Sanchez' last game as a the starting QB this year? Going into the season I personally didn't see any chance of a switch until after the bye, but with how things are playing out I really think this Monday night Houston game is going to be the final nail in the coffin for Sanchez. Not trying to say whether it's the right move, wrong move, etc. I just think the move comes before Week 6 vs. the Colts. Just wondering what the rest of the board thinks.
I don't think so. Even if he gets the ball Tebow won't be able to hold onto the position because he's worse than Sanchez and he has all the same talent problems around him that Sanchez does. I don't think McElroy can stand up to the rush without getting hurt. Jets QB's don't take sacks, people tee off on them when something in the protection goes wrong immediately at the snap.
Can't be. We have nothing better. If we are getting killed he needs to sit the 4th quarter and let take Tim take some reps.
I really don't want to see that happen, put some talent around him and he'll be fine, but I do agree with you though he probably will sit him in the next few weeks. At this point I want them to start Tebow so everyone can shut up about him. My prediction is that he'll do the same. In my opinion the pressure and lack of talent is killing Mark at this point. Our fans want him to be a Brady or Rodgers when we know that he ain't. He needs a good run game so he can play good. Greene ain't cutting it, lets get Ryan Mathews in here.
Again, I think pass protection will be reasonable in this game. I think we take at most 3 sacks but I think Sanchez will have time.....Not that time will help with the dearth of receivers. But it will be interesting to see how much time he will have back there.
No. Putting in a different QB isn't fixing the problem. He will be starting all 16 games, unless injured.
Sanchez is 27th in sacks he's only been sacked 5 times and that's because he's a moron holding onto the ball in the pocket for WAAAAYYY too long, the protection has been fine.
Sanchez will be the QB all of this year and all of next year and most of the year after that barring injury or play that is so horrific that Jimmy Hoffa rises from the dead and murders him on the field.
There is no way that they will make a switch this early in the season. We're 4 games in! We've lost 2 games! (albeit one was a blowout) Do you recall when we lost to the Pats 45-3? We didn't make a QB change then, and Rex won't do it now. If he keeps underperforming, my guess would be that by week 9-10, a change would be made. But I don't think that's going to happen given the stretch of games that we have which will be easier wins then this 4 game stretch we have entered as of the 49ers game.
They were a 9-3 team after the 45-3 blowout, and they didn't have the ability to make a QB change anyway. There's no way they were ever going to put the fossil known as Mark Brunell in. Tebow, as much as I can't stand him is another story.
Our offense has scored 2 TDs in the last 3 games. I am not sure “he is the best we got” when it comes to scoring TDs. Against good defenses we struggle to even get into FG position. And with losing depth at the WR spot we need a new direction. Tebow should be starting by week 6 if we want to try and remain competitive this season. Mark should be the one coming off the bench with a small playbook of like 8 pass plays he becomes really good at.
You also expect growing pains from a young QB in his first 2 seasons after only starting 16 games in college. His play from the past 3 weeks wouldn't have gotten him benched in his first few seasons but as a 4th year veteran with a backup with a winning record and playoff win from the prior season and a style that can compensate for the lack of wr talent it's much more plausible if you ask me.
Jets are going up or down with Sanchez no matter what. Whether they score 30 points three games in a row or get shutout 3 games in a row ..... Sanchez is the guy that will step out there as starting QB. The more money you make, the more chances you get to prove yourself & Sanchez makes enough to be a guaranteed starter until next season.
I hope you mean after he improves. If he plays like he is currently I would feel nauseated if he's still starting three years from now........ What a depressing thought.
Looking at a game against the top AFC team is hardly the justification to bench your QB when you're 2-3, probably 2-4, with three of the hardest games of the season behind you.
Sanchez is playing like a dickhead and needs to improve 100% but we honestly don't have anyone else to put in. Tebow is Tebow and McElroy has an arm weaker than Pennington after 12 shoulder surgeries. They should have never traded for Tebow and kept Drew Stanton. At least he could have stepped in and maybe done well. Now we just have to pray Sanchez pulls his head out of his ass.
i was of the same opinion before the season, but that was when i bought into the expectations of a reasonable progression. He has truly been awful from the first pre-season game onwards (with some few exeptions). If we feel it, it is 10-fold in the locker room, i am telling you, this team is imploding as we speak. They were never expected to beat 49ers or Texans, but the offense is so off that they have to do something. AND when they do, it will get even worse as tebow is not a bit better than Sanchez, but by then Rex has played his only card and failed
