Is Brady where he is without Belicheck? It's not stupid, it's true. Sanchez had to be developed, and he was developed extremely poorly.
It was the right move at the time and keeping him going forward is the right move. You don't give up on young talent this quickly. We will regret it, we need to surround the QB w/ more talent.
You cant go to talent as an excuse for Sanchez all the time. Poor talent doesn't make Sanchez throw into triple coverage, poor talent doesn't make Sanchez fumble the ball and poor talent doesn't excuse Sanchez from not being able to read a defense properly. When Steve Young went on his rant on Sanchez after the MNF game, it was one of the best things I've heard and he's right. Yes the Jets were in a downward spiral, but Sanchez accelerated it. He didn't try to slow it down like he was supposed to as a franchise quarterback. He instead lead the nosedive along with Rex Ryan.
actually poor talent does contribute b/c he has nowhere to throw and just takes more chances b/c of it. 2 years ago he only had 13 INTs and coincidentally that was his most talented team.
real talk. Sanchez is being scapegoated for being the only playmaker on the team well you guys have won, we are gonna see what happens with your precious Melcroy under center. Lets see what this no talent scrub with no dynamic game changing abilities will be able to do with no Oline, no running game, no receivers. I got my popcorn and barf bag ready
I can agree with you to an extent but when the play is not there, just throw the ball the away. He's developed the Michael Vick syndrome of not giving up on a play and usually that results in a turnover. You're more help to your team by giving up on a down than giving the other offense another shot at the field.
Mcelroy will be fine. The 2 games he's playing in are meaningless games for the opposition as well as the Jets. A perfect place for a smart backup to look good.
I agree w/ you but he is mentally shot right now. even w/ the awful weapons he should be much better than he is.
I think McElroy is going to be a disaster, but the Jets have the 10th best running game, an underrated O line, it's one of the best actually, and another year of a top defense. Other teams have a lot more issues than the Jets. Sanchez was a huge part of the problem whether people want to recognize that or not.
It's very telling that all the Sanchez sycophants are already making excuses about why Mcelroy's good performance won't count. Why is this? Because a couple of decent outings by Mcelroy with the same exact crew that Sanchez couldn't score ANY points with against the worst teams in football will expose all the Sanchez supporters as being completely clueless about football.
Their argument would work too...except Sanchez had 4 Interceptions against a very bad defense in Tennessee. He couldn't put up 10 points against fucking Tennessee. Tennessee is a 5-9 team. Same with Arizona. Same with Jacksonville...he couldn't even air the ball out. If McElroy puts up a touchdown or two plus respectable numbers against the Chargers and the Bills, I don't see how anyone even considers starting Sanchez again.
1) he isnt all that young anymore 2) he isnt very talented 3) 4 years isnt 'getting rid of him soon' 4) no one regrets trade away the leagues worst QB trading sanchez, even if we have to also include a 4th rounder in a complete salary dump, would be one of the 10 best moves in franchise history
By the way, every game we played starting from Jacksonville, the opponent was eliminated from the playoffs. So nice try justifying Sanchez there...
Having no one to throw to isnt an excuse to throw it to the other team. especially in close games, in opponents territory, on first down, with playoff hopes on the line. thats the most idiotic thing ive heard: "well no one is open, let me throw a gauranteed interception instead of taking my chances on second down"
he's 26, he's till VERY young. 1 bad year is getting rid of him too soon he's not the worst QB, you don't win 4 playoff games(all on the ROAD) w/ poor QB play. Jet fans deserve Rich Kotite and Bubby Brister. he was trying to make a play to win the game. It was a dumb decision but he is mentally shot. he was never this bad in 2009, he had a few bad rookie games that skewed his #s but he was good for us most of the year and very good in postseason.
