In the preseason games I thought McElroy was very accurate and quick thinking. I've heard folks on here say that he can't throw long, but maybe he won't have to.
100% in agreement, bring in McElroy... but why stop there? Let's run McElroy, Powell & McKnight as the backs. Kerley & Hill as the 1 & 2, and shift McKnight into the slot when we're going to a 3 wide. Bench Sanchez and Greene. Cut Santonio now (why wait?) And to be clear, I'm not trolling at all. Santonio isn't a true #1, Sanchez has proven he's not a starter at this point, and Greene has no burst. What's the worst that could happen? They score 0 points again? OH NO! The issue could be that Rex just sucks at recognizing talent. Westhoff seems to think McKnight is a beast, and I'd trust Westhoff's eyes at this point more than I would Rex's... Rex admitted that Hill wasn't his pick... a good sign to me. Kerley wasn't his pick either. McElroy knows what it takes to win, he proved that at Bama, and in the pre-season too. (and yeah, sure looks like the pre-season was spot on) I know no one is going to take this seriously, and it'll never happen... but why the hell not? We can't look worse than we did today... and who cares if we beat a few also-rans? If we can't beat, or even compete with the top of the league... it's time to try something new.
He surprisingly had a solid amount of time most of the game and just couldn't do shit. It's the receivers tho too. They kind of suck.
I think he understands he has a lot of receivers that have very little work with the first team, very little work with him as a QB, and shouldn't be on the field as a primary option. You put that out there you ge ta QB that is going to force things, hold on to the ball to long -- you need other areas to step up - running the ball has to come together and it is showing no signs of life.
ok let's be honest with ourselves, Mark Sanchez is a backup quarterback at best. In his defense his O line sucks and his receivers are garbage, but at the end of the day he's average at best. This team had their window with 2 AFC/championship games in a row. Now it is time to sell off all assets and build again.
