Let me preface this by saying I believe Sanchez deserves one more year, although on a short leash. This was a question posed in the latest edition of Jets Confidential (one of the best editions I've ever read), and I can't remember one. Sure he played well enough to win in the playoffs, but it was Shonn Greene in the firs playoff run, and Defense stopping Brady and Manning in the second. They continue by getting different opinions about Sanchez from top scouts/GM's around the league. They tell us what we unfortunately already know. He's a one read QB. It puts a lot of pressure on the OC, which is why there are so many slant routes and routes under 7 yards. Most interesting of all is how Sanchez could get the locker room back. That is by taking a pay cut, which would help pay other under paid players. If not, it is suggested there will be many pissed off players in the locker room. Last year, as most know, Scott, LT, and Pace were asked to take pay cuts while Sanchez's monstrous 17mm deal was not changed at all. I didn't hear this at the time, but after the Giants game Calvin Pace was livid. When interviewed why he basically said because it's the same shit ever week. Defense plays their tails off, and offense can't pull their weight. He doesn't single out any player in particular, but you can bet he is definitely talking about Sanchez. All in all, great paper and highly recommended. Other snippets (Mauga is being groomed to cover the new breed of TE's, good pieces on Holmes and "anonymous players" as sources, a damning piece on Tannenbaum, and all the Jets beat writers hate each other). Lastly, FWIW, they did a small piece on McElroy and his radio appearance. They mentioned how it's ludicrous some ESPN analysts say he should be cut. A Jets front office source reached out to Jets Confidential saying he is in no trouble whatsoever, and isn't going anywhere. His hand is 100% healed and he's throwing again.
Leberfeld is right, as usual The Jets three consecutive 0-16 seasons since 2009 are proof positive that Mark Sanchez, Rex Ryan, Mike Tannenbaum and just about everyone else needs to be fired immediately, Woody should hire Manish Mehta and Dan Leberfeld as consultants to rebuild and restore the Jets to glory
Is that the guy who has to introduce himself by name at every Rex press conference, and Rex smirks instead of telling him what a tool he is?
In reality it really is sort of "Confidential" since it has about 863 subscribers and fewer numbers than that that find it on the internet
I guess that depends on how you measure an elite performance. Since everyone looks at a different set of stats, what are your criteria? - I would argue that his very first postseason game as a rookie, with a QBR of 139.4 would count. - Week 2 in 2010. A win against the Pats, QBR of 124.3 with 21/30 (70% completion) and 3 TDs, no interceptions, no fumbles. - Week 3 in 2010. A win against Miami, QBR of 120.5 with 3 TDs, 256 yards (lousy completion) no interceptions, no fumbles. - Week 11 and our win over Houston? That was spectacular. - Our win over New England in the 2010 Postseason.
agreed, especially his comeback against houston, I think with less than 1min to go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOdOsEt_mLw&feature=related
Geez. You'd get a bigger audience by going into the bathroom at the stadium and just yelling out whatever you have to say.
Exactly what I was going point out. He was awesome the 2nd, 3rd and 4th game of the season. That week 2 performance against the Pats last year was one the best he's played.
