So sorry to hear about this. And yeah, wins and losses are a lot more than trivial when you put as much into them as we do into the Jets. Hope things get better for you and yours. And the Jets.
He's a good example of a QB who was discarded and then made something out of his career anyway. Sanchez was like a wing and a prayer when he was taken and the wing has broken so we're left with the latter.
"All this losing is affecting my otherwise cheery disposition." I loved that line - and all the Patriot-bandwagoning Nazi bastards. I always suspected that...
Yeah, Vinny in 98 was far the best QB performance I've seen from a QB for the Jets. That was my 2nd or 3rd season of being a Jet fan. That's fucking pitiful.
jesus thats scary, its like the mets and no hitters. how after all these years and all these different people could we possibly be so inept for so long.
i think every one of these i have ever seen was funny, this one however is just fantastic... he sounds like me.
Well, when I said in recent memory, I would not consider Plunkett to be in recent memory. Okay, before Rich Gannon, you could go back to Plunkett. I agree. Kind of shows how infrequently that kind of situation occurs. I see Sanchez as more like David Carr than either Gannon or Plunkett.
It's much scarier than the Mets and no-hitters. No-hitters are at least a rare event. Double-digit people throw 20+ TD passes every year and the Jets do this once every 4 or 5 seasons like clockwork and that pattern has existed for their entire existence. That's scary. That's like the equivalent of the Mets only having a 30 HR guy every 4 or 5 seasons and never having a guy hit 30 more than twice for them as a Met. Even the Mets have managed to have a few guys who could hit good numbers more than a couple of times as a Met.
hard to believe ... Rich Cimini @RichCimini Over the last 4 games, Mark Sanchez has second-highest comp pct (65.6) among AFC starters, per @ESPNStatsInfo. #Jets
I thought that said AFCE starters, hard to believe it's for the entire AFC. Like people said though: he's throwing less against crappy teams. But, to be fair, maybe his numbers were worse earlier on because he had to throw more (no run game) against better defenses. It'll be interesting to see what his final numbers on the season are.
Considering this includes a game where he was pulled because he couldn't score a single point against the worst team in the league, I'd take this with a grain of salt. When you further consider Sanchez has throw 2 td's over those 4 games while fumbling 3x and throwing 4 int's, you can throw that crappy stat out all together (Mcelroy has a 71.4% completion over the same span).
^ This. That's the most useless stat I've ever heard. What I'd like to know is, what is his YPA and YPC over that stretch. I'm sure they're both horrendous because all he can basically do is hit dump off passes to the backs and TE's and horizontal passes to our WR's that barely move the ball down the field. I heard somewhere this week, that Sanchez has thrown ONE TD pass in the Jets last 40 drives. And btw ... when you're down 35-0 in the first half of a game, it's funny how you can complete a bunch of passes in the 2nd half.
Anyway you spin it Sanchez has been a dissapointment. Yes, they surrounded him with nothing, but he still struggles to protect the football and every dropback you worry about a turnover. The gameplan @JAX was perfect. Run the ball, play good D, that's how we will have to win football games. If they stack the box, fine, we'll chuck it every once in a while.
