What I picked was the most experienced year Sanchez had and the year that he had a team most in common with the one Smith (a raw rookie with zero experience) had. Smith won eight.
It's funny that this thread was started because after Geno threw his third pick, I was thinking about Sanchez's 3 int first half against Arizona that finally got him benched. Both Qbs seemed to be similarly hopeless.
Mark Sanchez was never this bad. You know what Geno's quarterback rating was today? Zero point zero. _
no. As much as I would like him back a change in teams is currently doing him good (base on his preseason performance at least). If he returns JETS wouldnt know what to do with him unlike Kelly and the Egals. Its funny how last preseason when Sanchez threw the INT in the Lions game and Geno Smith looking on with a smirk on his face. Not so funny anymore for Geno im sure. Geno flat out was NEVER ready to be a starter and he was forced fed to us.
We are going to be very bad either way and like it or not the team and the players will never fully tank it. Any team that does tank it doesn't deserve a faithful fan base. Our team will continue to work hard and fight to win and the coach owes it to the players and the fans to put the best option in to win. Our luck is Vick (ugh) gives us the better chance. He at least has to get a week of working with the first line.
He had one season where he "led" the team to better than 1 game over .500, and he did that in the one year he didn't turn the ball over 20 or more times. You cannot win consistently turning the ball over no matter how good the team around you is, and that has always been sanchez's Achilles heel, he turns the ball over.... A LOT...#2 in total turnovers over the 4 years he was a starter....you can get away with turnovers if you put up numbers, Sanchez didn't and so even with a league leading defense (in points allowed) he could only eek out 9 wins. Jets are losing because Geno is turning the ball over even more than Sanchez at this point....and he doesn't have Sanchez's defense or O-line. Sanchez with a poor o-line and weak recievers was a 6-10 QB.....
Save yourself from the misery. It is a good for a hearty laughter on a stat sheet. The video clips of them INTs will make you cringe. They were all on Geno; well, the first one, you can [argue] about it. The other two? Squarely on Geno. And Sanchez was bad, but not 0.0 bad. NEVER.
Don't hate Sanchez, he just isn't a very good QB. Any hate that I have is in the willingness of fans to accept mediocrity and call it good. That said, Geno's clearly not progressing thus far in to his 2 year career. In Sanchez's 2nd year you saw signs of hope, he was cutting down his turnovers (though there is some evidence this was luck, but the fact is he only threw 13 picks in more attempts than the prior year so it was progress). We're not seeing that progress from Geno in his second year and that's concerning. Two years is too quick to fully give up on a player, especially at QB, but next year they need to draft a QB who can legitimately challenge Geno for the starting role. Geno isn't making big money so this is feasible and practical to do. Keep bringing in competition until someone truly wins and keeps the starting job regardless of the hype or desire for one player or another to start. That said, the O-line needs help in order for any QB to be successful.
with an actual offense around him, Mark Sanchez almost took us to back to back super bowls Eugene Smith couldn't hold his jock strap.
