Mark wasn't that impressive at all against a weak Titans team. This revival people refer to is overblown
Talk about making excuses, turnovers are over rated? really? The biggest game changers around are over rated? Really?oh wait, i see "His Turnovers are overrated", that's the kind of argument that comes from a guy who says an interception is as good as a punt inside of field goal range...yep.... 66 games played, 97 turnovers. 4 Games played this season 8 turnovers.... career well below league average TD% This year barely league average TD% Career well under league average completion % This year barely average completion % All this despite playing for a team with more explosive offensive talent than any team in the league. All this despite having 3 games against .sub 500 teams and two of those games against two of the worst defenses in the NFL. Hint, if the Titans were a competent team the Turnovers by Sanchez would have cost them that game. Despite being a miserable team the Titans were in that game until the 2nd half and their own turnovers... Talk to any coach, any player...turnovers will lose you games and 90% of the time the team that turns the ball over more will lose.
Oh and Junc, his interception percentage after 4 games? Here is the list of players with a higher percentage... Geno Smith, 4.3. Josh McCowan 4.4 Kirk Cousins 4.4 Blake Bortles 4.9. That's it. The next worst guy on the list is at 3.2%. Sanchez will not get praise as long as he's in that horrible turnover category They guy is averaging 2 turnovers a game.
you have your percentages, I watch the games. Good luck w/ that. in 4 games he is leading his O to an average 29.8 PPG and the team is 3-1. those are the only #s that matter.
And the 1 loss was against the only team he's played with a record over .500...the teams he's beaten have a combined 10 wins on the season, 5 of those wins coming from one team. and when he was playing a good team how many first half points did he put up before the game was in Junc time? and I call it junc time since you say his interceptions in that game came during junc time? The answer is 6. And yes Junc, I have been watching the games, the game yesterday Sanchez almost gave the game away to a 2 win team.....he let them back in to the game. And since you've mentioned the rating category before, even though that is a totally junk stat, he ranks #35 in the league. Start talking trash when they beat a good team and he doesn't keep the other team in the game with turnovers.
Actually Junc, start talking trash when they lose a close game to a good team and doesn't turn the ball over even..... Until then.....
I am not talking trash, just enjoying watching a guy who "sucked" played really well. a guy that bad shouldn't be able to succeed against any team.
This is spot on....nice post. Sanchez has solid mechanics..but when he see's pressure he gets easily confused and the boneheaded turnovers come in waves.
He is what he's always been, just now he's in a better offense with better coaching. We're seeing a lot of nice throws from Mark, but we're also seeing the bad decisions he made on the Jets. He has a super high INT% and he has five fumbles. He looks better than he did in 2012 obviously, but this "resurgence" is a little ridiculous.
Basically this. The biggest thing Mark has to do is cut down on the turnovers. If he could just limit the mistakes, he'd be very solid. But, of course, that is an enormous IF. Many guys simply never learn how to do that.
I don't know if Sanchez is better than Vick. I prob would rather take Vick because he has a stronger arm and has the ability to be a duel threat QB. Both are TO machines, though I think Mark is worse in that category. Now the issue with durability, you are taking more of a chance with Vick. I think I would still rather have Vick. Going back to 2013, I would not have released Mark, nor would I draft Geno Smith but that's a decision we cannot change.
outside of the garbage time INTs vs. GB he has 2 that were his fault. One of the ones at Hou was perfect throw and WR dropped it and it bounced into air, yesterday his WR quit on the route.
he's better than Vick w/o a doubt. Vick at his peak? No but the Vick from the past few years? Mark is definitely better.
Garbage time INT's are still bad decisions. He's committing too many turnovers. He cannot do that against good teams or they will lose, like they did against GB.
That's horseshit. Vick in 2012 and 2013 (prior to him getting injured) was still a better QB than Mark Sanchez in 2012 and 2013 prior to injury. That's absolutely false.
I agree though they lost that game long before he turned it over. so how come Vick wasn't leading a more talented team to the playoffs?
He did in 2010 and should have beaten the Packers at their place. Even so, if Vick started from day 1 this yr who knows what would have happened.
