Mark Sanchez has played in 70 games in the NFL and has 103 turnovers. Clyde Gates and/or Chaz Schillens only saw the field in 17 of those 70 games. Yet somehow they managed to cause him to turn the ball over at a high rate in the 53 other games where they were never on the same field as him. Including last year when he was turning it over at a high rate and they were both at home eating cheetos.
KOB was a big sissy. I am sure U are forgetting that goal line play where he chose to fall down instead of being hit. Also reread your statement since it surely shows why the NYJ have been so shitty for so long when KOB is the best of the worst
Too funny, O'Brien got creamed playing for our Jets. If he were playing in today's era of flag football he'd be in the HOF. _
Top 5 Jets QBs in Fumbles: Player - Fumbles - Games Sanchez - 43 - 62 R. Todd - 41 - 102 Testverde- 36 - 65 B.Esiason - 36 - 43 Penington- 35 - 69 These fantasy stats don't tell the story, you have to look at them in context. And in this context, Mark gets a pass considering the # of times the game plan called for him to hand the ball off. Highest Average # of Fumbles/ Game B.Esiason- 0.83 MSanchez- 0.69 Testverde - 0.55 Penington - 0.50 Rch. Todd - 0.40 Boomer was brutal. Wonder why the 'sitting duck' cripple's not on the list? Probably 'cause he made up for it with the INTs.....yeah, that's it...
Mark Sanchez will come back to play the Jets one day. I look forward to that day. Hope he does ok and walks off the field uninjured. And I hope his team gets crushed.
I really want to go back and watch Dean Look make his one career pass attempt, and see his reaction as it is intercepted by some long-forgotten defender. He was probably still better than Sanchez or Smith.
That's your opinion which I totally disagree with. I do agree that after JWN he was the best of the worst which says a whole lot about our management over the last 46 or so years
Namath is also #2 in career TD% for players with more than 500 attempts, #1 if you change it to minimum of 900 passing attempts. Of course he's also #1 in yards per attempt and of course #2 in INT % based on minumum 500 attempts, #1 based on minimum 900 attempts. (the bad kind of #1 but that, like a lot of his stats, went with the old AFL vertical game under the old time rules.) Ironically in terms of TD% and int% they both played in the era when defenses had all the advantages. It's sad that in 30 years of 'easier' passing rules the Jets have never had a good QB in those terms that was good for more than a season.
So you disagree that a guy who was as productive as he was and who was battered as much as he was wouldn't have put up prolific numbers in today's era of flag football, no hits on the QB, no mugging of of receivers, quick short throw offenses? Interesting. _
Junc, not true. The AFL in the 60's was a very vertical passing league and they had arms that could sling it, including of course Namath, and the AFL featured the passing game, especially the deeper passes. Case in point in most of the seasons Namath was the QB the Jets ran the ball as often as the average AFL team, they did throw the ball more often than they ran but that was also the theme in the league to set itself apart from the then NFL. The wide open and exciting passing game was part of the AFL's selling point to the public and it was very heavily featured. To say that AFL teams passed largely, or even generally, from behind would be a fallacy in most teams instances,t he exceptions being the teams that didn't have strong armed QB's. The 60's in the AFL was a gunslingers paradise.
I remember listening to the game in '75 where Riggins made it to 1005 yards, the first Jet to go over 1000. I figured at least something good had come out of one of the worst seasons in the worst decade of team history. Little did I know that would be his last carry for the team as he became a free agent and signed with the Redskins that winter, becoming the first or second uncompensated free agent in NFL history.
Hackett, I think you have Ryan's numbers wrong. 345 Attempts with 46 Sacks - One sack per 7.5 Attempts. This actually makes your point more decisively than your numbers do.
That's VERY telling in my opinion. He doesn't seem to have the heart to go all out to start somewhere.
