The Giants won 2 Super Bowls with a total of 19 regular season wins. They sputtered down the stretch both times. They had the luck both times to face a team unusually dependent on their QB and in both cases the QB himself sputtered during the big game for long stretches. That's luck. It's not like the Giants had a huge run of injuries over the last half decade that prevented them from being an actually elite team. They're just not in that category. Again this season we're seeing exactly what kind of team they are: above average but not by much and hoping that they get lucky again.
this is a very good review of the giants. they are exactly that an above average team that should make the playoffs but will not be dominant by any stretch. they are a 10-6 at best team this year again...
I really dont understand why we are even comparing sanchez to eli. not once in his career has eli manning thrown more picks then touchdowns. eli threw for almost 3800 yards in his second season. eli was also the focal point of a passing offense during his tenure... not a guy in a run and gun offense who is babied and needs a "red-yellow-green" system to prevent turnovers. last year, the one time we tried to have sanchez be more of a focus in the offense, he led the NFL with 26 turnovers. sure manning really turned it on later in his career. but thats not the norm at all. and given his pedigree and how much they put on him early, you can see why it happened. mark is nothing like that. he is a terrible terrible player. he has no business being in the league as a backup, nevermind a starter
IS sanchez the worst qb in football over the past 30 years (minimum 50 starts) was discussing this with my dad and looking on pro-football reference. i cant seem to find anyone.
I agree with the overall point that comparing the two players is ridiculous...but like Sanchez, Eli did throw more picks than touchdowns in his rookie year.
interesting, typically when a guy is just not any good they figure it out in the first few years.... not wait 4 years to figure it out so i could imagine it would be completely possible. who are some of the guys he is up against for being the ultimate piece of shit qb?
Richard Todd started 108 games in the NFL and has a career rating of 67.8, he was also a 1st round draft pick for Jets (6th pick) . He threw 30 interceptions against 17 TDs for Jets in 1980 . He was much worse AND was a Jets player.
I say give him the rest of the season and see how he does. If he doesn't improve his QB rating to at least an 85, then yeah, I say we look elsewhere. Four years is enough. There's no point in wasting more time with this guy.
Unfortunately the worst QB in the league, the one QB who is guaranteed to be worse than Sanchez is our backup QB Tim Tebow. As a Jets fan I can remember many QB's who started for us who were considerably worse than Sanchez.
Right off the bat ... perfectly set up screen on the first play of the game and he fucks it up. Three plays later he's throwing a pess to Hilliard's ankles. I've had it with this piece of garbage.
Jets will probably extend Sanchez' contract again this offseason for $20MM more. That's how they roll.
