And then the other 200+ QB's who came in to the league with promise and put up those types of stats. Fact is 95% of QB's after three full years starting never improve beyond that 3 year average. Sanchez gets one more year, but if he doesn't progress can no longer blame Schotty...who does deserve some blame regardless.
This is it. We will spend our time until the season starts rehashing points about Sanchez, just to get back to this point. The Jets will get a (hopefully) competent back up. And if Sanchez does not produce, I could see the back up stepping in and Sanchez going the route of Matt Leinart
^Nailed it. For just about every qb that comes into the league, the NFL is going to require some adjustments. After some amount of time, the good ones will pull away from the rest. The bad ones will have plateaued and their teams will begin looking for a replacement.
Excellent points. Defense still wins championships. A lot of these "great offenses" have benefitted from padding their stats against defensive stiffs like my Bills during the regular season. In the playoffs, the stiffs aren't usually there, and even when they are, they can play inspired ball (see Tebow and his Donkeys). Both the Giants and Pats have statistically poor defenses that stepped up greatly in the playoffs, so I expect to see another hard fought defensive slugfest in Indy in the SB.
