Of the three, 11 wins is the most attainable. However, I would point out....All you Sanchez haters, complain that the BTB AFCCG appearances, are...a team stat. My criteria is based SOLELY on the player. They either think hes worth the money, or they dont. No team function comes into it. And...they may mot think he is worth 12 mil, he could win 11, and they might think Smith is the better bargain. So, mine is the criteria, that is based on Sanchez alone. (which is the beauty of the extension)
All Sanchez has to do is not turn the ball over. Until I'm convinced he can do that, I want Geno to start.
You can't throw a raw rookie out like that and expect Brady stats or even Alex smith stats for that matter.
Only thing is,is that 2012 rookie QB's were ready and have decent WR's. with our WR core,and a young O-line for the most part,i could see it being tough for Geno.
true ... Geno is in a similar situation as Tannehill was last year. Geno has a better group of WRs than Ryan did last year, maybe not as good as group of backs, but similar o-line talent with good centers. Expectation I had for RT were ... at least 57% completion (had 58%) 3,000 yards (threw for 3,294) 16 TDs (threw 12) at least a 75 rating (76.1) Keep in mind, this was a guy with 20 college starts at QB. Geno obviously had more than that. I think 3,000 yards at 16 TDs is a reasonable expectation for a rookie.
It all depends on the system used. Brady numbers are not going to happen no matter what but Alex Smith type numbers are doable if you hold the number of throws down and make a lot of them of the safe variety. Ben Roethlisberger threw 21.6 passes a game in his first two seasons (no that's not a typo) and he was very efficient both years. Eli Manning threw 30.2 passes a game his first two year and he lurched from competent to walking disaster area and back again fairly often in that span. Protect the QB from over-exposure and you greatly improve his chances at succeeding. Among other things almost all young players have real deficiencies to work out and if you keep the film on them at a minimum it prevents opponents from exploiting them heavily before the player and team have things figured out. Look at the rookie QB's from last year. Low throws per game (RGIII and Wilson), high success rate. High throws per game (Luck and Tannehill), not so much so right off the bat.
watch 2011 Bama game Geno youtube You want to see a West Coast type Offense with Geno at the helm, watch the 2011 LSU game. They were down all game and Geno was really accurate, quick drops, and a fighter. Its on youtube. I personally think Geno is a perfect fit with Marty.
Good point on limiting throws. Walking that tightrope is tough to do though. You can't jump from one side to the other though. If our WR core stays healthy, I think Holmes and Hill and Kerley are a decent trio. The problem is counting on good health and the question marks at RB and TE currently.
Tbh, that clip isn't about accuracy, but rather his neverending love for forcing retarded decisions and trying to adhere to his "Gunslinger" style. Throwing while being on both his heels, just about to get tackled, on his own 4, in the 1st quarter with a 0-0 score... totally worth it! Amazing. But hey, getting to 52 turnovers in 2 years isn't easy - requires stuff like this.
The question, IIRC was on OL line play. You are the one that made it seem, as if Sackelroy was the o ly victim of poor OL play. But why address your own deficient argument, when you can attempt to be ....snappy. And on his own 4...the only play he had (and should have taken) was to spike the ball and take the flag.
Shitty gif...but it looked like he had other options if he wanted to throw downfield. It was 1st & 10 fer chrissakes. He was horrible the whole month of December...and he should have been sat weeks earlier. He was just getting worse every game.
Yes, it was about the OL and how they sucked in a specific part, of one specific game. Yet you somehow think I'm talking about the overall performance from the OL the same season when Sanchez was under center? I'd love to hear how your brain, twice now, have come to that conclusion. And no, I did not make it seem as if Sackelroy was the only victim of poor OL play. I did made it seem as if Sackelroy took a large number of sacks - in that specific game - because of poor OL play. In that Sanchez clip, one can clearly see that the OL is all over the place, in the worst way. No-one seems to be debating that, correct? Can we agree on that? What I pointed out, was that the QB in that clip played like Mark Sanchez and forced it. What I would've wanted, was that the QB in that clip played like Sackelroy and just take the sack... as in protecting the football. You don't think his e.g. head coach would say about the same thing about just taking the sack and Mark's level of ball security?
