Of course, in hindsight, we should have drafted Wilson the same we should have drafted Tom Brady who was available for five rounds to us but passed. Nobody would dispute that being able to look back and knowing how good the player has turned out. My argument is not that drafting a QB at that point is crazy in isolation, it is disputing the assertion that it is a sound strategy to draft a backup QB in the second round within three years of drafting a first round QB who you are clearly committed to being the starter. If it was a sound strategy, and ignoring such a strategy reflected some deficiency on the Jets that warrants criticism, you would see many teams three years after drafting a first round QB that they continue to start as their franchise QB spend a second round pick on a QB to back him up. that claim would have evidence to support it. it's an easy position to defend empirically not hypothetically. there is no empirical evidence to support it. on the contrary, there is evidence to support my position why you don't draft a QB there. it's simple. don't confuse that in hindsight I wish we would have drafted Wilson instead of Stephen Hill with that pick and dropped Sanchez with thinking it was the wrong decision at that time.
Where it all went downhill for Sanchez is mostly Tannenbaum's fault. Sanchez was a mediocre QB the entire time he played with us. The problem was a few things. After 2010, they got rid of Faneca and Woody retired from injury (if my memory serves me correctly). That did a SERIOUS blow to the running game, which helped Sanchez immensely because it kept defenses honest. Whether itwas from a good offensive line or his own skill, Shonn Greene looked much worse after they left. Next we have the chemistry with receivers Cotchery and Edwards. Sanchez's favorite targets were released/not resigned, all while Holmes got his payday to be a crybaby bitch receiver. Unless you're Tom Brady, most QBs don't fare well when their weapons are taken away and the offensive line gets worse. People can complain about the backup QB situation all they want, IMO it doesn't even come close to these points.
See post 126 on this thread. You said "the facts", meaning the Jets signed Stanton, shows "the complete opposite" of my point that moving from Brunell to Stanton showed less than confidence in Sanchez, which if the complete opposite means it showed more confidence. You've lost track of your posts. And seem to not have anything to add, so have a nice day.
Meaning your entire argument in this thread, meaning your entire argument with JetBlue. Anyone with a modicum of reading comprehension would take "your entire argument in this thread" would apply to your major argument with JetBlue, and understand that my point about Brunell was showing just how weak said argument was. Anyways, you still haven't answered how signing the almighty Drew Stanton showed less confidence in Sanchez. Your weak antics and misdirection makes it seem like you simply aren't capable. But I'm sure you put me on ignore since I am actually making good points, which seems to be the criteria for making it on that list.
Even if this is true, what kind of self-respecting "director of scouting" stays in an organisation where his views are largely ignored? And who gets the blame for the doug jolley trade, mike nugent in the 2nd round, trading into the top 5 for dewayne Robertson? Bradway was the freaking GM then! Was that someone else in a terry bradway costume talking about how Jalen Saunders was a "really attractive pick for us there (in the 4th round)"??
You haven't made any points. Why does my putting some people on ignore bother you so much? On second thought, I couldn't care less what you think.
