Sanchez had just as many attempts through the first 4 games and half the turnovers. In what some (most) would say is an inferior offense. Though, Sanchez had more talent around him. My bigger problem is the mental mistakes and general demeanor. I don't think Geno threw the ball away the entire game, and was holding onto the ball for WAYYY to long. His mechanics were questionable throughout the game and he was continuously doing some kind of jump pass off his front foot. He was inaccurate and nearly got JK killed. I don't see any adjustments at the line to check into better plays ( FB Toss on 4th down with a cb sitting on the line ). Maybe he'll pick it up, Maybe he won't. He'll have a much better chance if he just throws the damn ball away. And.. Behind the back?!
I like the 24 hour rule and will leave it at that. I want to collect my thoughts calmly after I sober up, and go from there. No bashing any particular player right now, but as a team, discipline and poise and avoidance of drive killing penalties was glaring and painfully obvious. Which in my opinion, is the number one sign of a winning organization.
Then again, Sanchez had 7 turnovers through his first 4 starts, without nearly as many yards as Geno has throughout his first 4 starts. Geno makes some rookie mistakes. Anyway, this game he was under pressure constantly, which wasn't happening as much in previous games. Also, he lost his favorite target, Stephen Hill, early in the game. Jets put pressure on EJ Manuel last week, and he looked like trash that week, with a lot of his passes just sailing out of bounds. Just goes to show how pressure is something rookies have trouble adapting to.
The Jets are a young team at the moment due to the rebuilding process. That's going to make for some very uneven play. The places we saw really uneven play this game were QB, CB, LG, and WR. Not necessarily in that order but those were the positions that play was inconsistent from down to down.
I don't think that's entirely accurate. I believe he played in an under center pro style offense in his sophomore year.
He still holds the ball too long, even when not being pressured. He got killed today, but there were a bunch of drop backs where he held the ball for 5-6 seconds at least. He has to get rid of the ball. _
This was Geno's '09 Buffalo. Not worried about it yet. Lets see where we are at the bye and then make considerations. 7-9 ~ 9-7 was possible this year no matter who was QB'ing the team.
bad is one thing...terrible is another...he was terrible today...it's not unrealistic to expect your QB not to look terrible.
Hahaha that's funny, I don't have the 22 tapes. Three seconds and out. He's gotta learn and he will. _
You have the 22 s? Nice. Because on tv all they show is Geno looking and looking and looking. Can't tell the coverages. _
Did you just make this up? Geno Smith 2013 first 4 games: 136 Attempts. Mark Sanchez 2009 first 4 games: 110 Attempts. Geno Smith Turnovers first 4 games: 11 (8 ints, 3 fumbles) Mark Sanchez Turnovers first 4 games: 7 (5 ints, 2 fumbles)
It really just depends if he can learn his lessons, especially on the fumbles. He needs to tuck the ball after he passes the LOS when running, and he needs to tuck the ball when he's going to get hit, instead of being cute and trying to pass it behind his back.
Meh, he's Sanchez 2.0. Sanchez looked just as bad against the Titans last year. His rookie season is looking on par if not worse than Sanchez thus far. Sanchez through 4 games: 4 TD, 5 INTS, 5 fumbles. Geno through 4 games: 4 TD, 8 INTS, 3 fumbles
Those stats are meaningless. The only ones you need to look at for a young QB are completion % and YPA. Geno is hitting 57.4% of his throws with a YPA of 8.02. For his career, Sanchez hits 55.1% with a YPA 6.48. If anyone doesn't think Geno isn't an improvement in 4 starts over what we know Sanchez is after 62 starts then there isn't much more I can say.
