Seriously I am through with mark but let's not blame this one on him two tipped picks and no offensive weapons.
He is slow in his actions. He moves through progressions very slowly. His passes are lackisidaical and sloppy. The game was there to be had. He could not make the plays. What is good about him?
Mark didnt play bad, but left too many plays on the field. he didnt win it when the opportunities to win it where there. missing cromartie was big. turning it over in the redzone was big. getting sacked out of FG range was big. sure watt made great plays on both situations, but in that situation you have to a) know where he is b) know that you cant take a sack/turn it over when points are on the line. thats 12 points, minumum left on the board
Sanchez still needs to get better but I thought he played fairly well all things considered. The pick before the half was a killer but really it was just the defense making a play. His biggest mistake was the misfire when Cromartie was open for a TD IMO. The biggest problem today was hardly the QB.
you have to take those risks to make the big plays. Sanchez is not a game manager type like an Alex Smith, franchise qb need to have the leeway to take those gambles. that's part of being a star qb, high risk high reward
sanchez was decent today....just not enough talent. Where was couples and wilkerson?!?!?!?! non-existant alll nighttt
People can't wrap their head around that at times. And sometimes the defense make plays, especially elite guys. How do you think every other fan feels like when they throw at Revis and nothing happens? The Texans had more talent , easy to see. We also were poorly coached and key plays were poorly executed
I don't want to hear about the second one being tipped, he threw it way over the TE's head and he had to jump to try to make the catch. And he left points on the field, there's no two ways about it.
Anyone who think Sanchez played poorly doesn't know football. He played well enough. Cumberland should have made that catch on the int. Watt made a great play on the batted pass in the redzone. I think the coaching should get the blame here. Way too many mistakes with substitutions. They kept taking Sanchez out when he was on a roll. It was frustrating. This was probably the first time in a while where I felt that Sanchez elevated the play of the players around him.
The fact that we were even in that game given the number of scrubs on the field was a credit to the coaching staff. They had a number of mistakes though.
He's been forced into a game manager role his first two years. It's why I wanted him to sit behind someone and just let him go. We didn't do that. Oh well, time to move forward. We have a QB inbetween a game manager and gun slinger who is learning a new offense and has his backup entering in and out of the game constantly. He's not elite, and it looks like the Jets were banking on the fact he would be. He isn't. He isn't good enough right now, not even close. That falls on him. It falls on the Jets to not have any talent around him.
No the biggest problem was the stupid offensive playcalling and all the indecisiveness and cutsie nonsense on offense, subbing Tebow out when he was doing well, subbing Tebow in when Sanchez put up a couple of good throws. There was ZERO rhythm. But Sanchez was second on the problem list. I don't want to hear ANYthing about the defense tonight, they gave up twenty points (the other three coming off the turnover) to a terrific team while getting almost no help from the offense. Hell really it was seventeen, the other three was after the onside kick where they couldn't help but get three.
Well you can thank Westhoff/McKnight for seven of the points. And the defense was pretty good. For all the nonsense on offense, they had ten points offensively and the one TD drive was when they scored so fast they didn't have time to have the Tebow nonsense interrupt the drive.
just stop. Maybe you're a family member, or maybe a girl with his GQ photos tacked on the wall, but your posts are probably the only thing WORSE than the blind "I HATE mark sanchez posts".
What drive did the guy interrupt? He ran down to the 4 on one play and got a first on a fake punt? The coaching staff needs to utilize him on leave him on the bench. He helped gain yards and did his part.
Those were his two good plays, and one was a ST play rather than offense. There was another on a zone read handing it off to Powell, but otherwise these gimmick plays just aren't cutting it. I'll give him the throw to Hill, who dropped it, as well. He comes on for 1 play and he's not going to get into the game properly, while Sanchez loses his rhythm. Whenever I saw the wildcat being brought on I had a bad feeling about it, and was proven right more often than not. If they're going to wildcat it, at least do it for a sustained drive, or use it when it actually make sense like on 3rd and shorts. It kept feeling like we were using it on 1st down and ending up with 2nd and longs.
