If you were Rex Ryan who do you do start as QB next game?

wasnt Gmac a 65% passer in college? thats 10-15 more completions over sanchez per game. that could extend some drives and keep us in these games. I am so tired of these turnovers. What was it last year 27 or so?
season is over. lets see what the "others" can do. That includes RB.

McElroy's average career completion percentage was 65.8%.

Sanchez's 2008 season (the only season he started), he had a 65.8% completion percentage.

College isn't the NFL.

I can take that a step further... Tebow had 67% completion in college. Not arguing one way or the other, just adding to your point.

Mac isn't an NFL caliber qb. Noodle arm. Not that I think tebow is either right now.

I think they should take a good look at McElroy since I think this kid will be hungry to prove himself

rex knows defense. if he thinks suckchise gives us the best chance to win, then we should start either tebow or mcelroy.

mcelroy is the guy who can run the regular offense and no one questions his ability to throw all the passes, not just long ones. hmy:

Seems like someone in the NY media has gotten on the play McElroy bandwagon:

Pelzman on the Jets beat: Greg McElroy deserves a chance - NorthJersey.com NorthJersey.com

For the first time in months, reporters swarmed to Greg McElroy’s locker Monday. They wanted to find out what the Jets’ third-string quarterback thought about not being active for the loss to New England last week, despite the fact that the man directly above him on the depth chart had two fractured ribs.

Unlike the infamous radio interview in January, in which he said there was a "corrupt mind-set" in the Jets’ locker room (which probably wasn’t far from the truth, anyway), McElroy said all the right things. He indicated he wasn’t offended and was ready to go if needed.

It isn’t surprising that McElroy, a Rhodes scholar candidate while at Alabama, would make the proper decisions in such a potentially sticky situation. And if Mark Sanchez continues to struggle Sunday against Arizona, it’s time for the Jets to take a look at McElroy’s on-field decision-making.

Yes, that would mean McElroy leapfrogging Tim Tebow on the Jets’ depth chart. But considering those aforementioned fractured ribs, it seems unlikely Tebow will be 100 percent for Sunday’s game, even if he again is cleared to play. And that rib injury certainly would cramp his playing style, which is very much dependent upon the 250-pound Tebow’s ability to take and deliver punishment as a runner.

Coach Rex Ryan’s continued mantra that Sanchez isn’t the only reason the Jets are 4-7 is quite true, but he’s a huge part of the problem. No, he isn’t surrounded by a lot of proven talent at the skill positions, but Sanchez has done little to lift the play of those around him, as demonstrated by his 75.6 passer rating, which is 30th in the NFL.

Even worse is his continued penchant for making costly mistakes. Sanchez has committed 15 turnovers, including 10 interceptions, and most of them have had an impact on the scoreboard. Sanchez has had six turnovers at or inside the opponents’ 25-yard-line, negating potential scoring chances. Opponents also have scored 41 points by capitalizing on Sanchez’s miscues, including the embarrassing lost fumble off Brandon Moore’s backside against New England last week.

McElroy’s abilities as an NFL quarterback are unknown. But the second-year pro showed poise during the preseason, even while dealing with some of the same issues as Sanchez, such as shaky protection and a lack of weapons. He did guide the Jets to their only touchdown of the 2012 preseason, albeit against Philadelphia’s reserves.

Arm strength is a question mark for McElroy, but he could be the game manager Ryan has been seeking. Remember, Ryan’s ultimate blueprint for winning is to run the football, play tough defense and not commit turnovers. That would seem to make McElroy, who guided Alabama to the 2009 national championship, a better fit for this offense than the continually mistake-prone Sanchez.

There are other potential benefits to giving McElroy a chance, including the fact that Ryan would be sending a long-overdue message to the rest of the team that playing time ultimately is based on performance. Because Ryan, a players’ coach, never benches anyone, one wonders if complacency has seeped into the Jets’ locker room. Sitting down the starting quarterback would change that.

The Jets also could get an idea of exactly what they have in the 2011 seventh-round pick, and whether McElroy could be a viable option to compete with Sanchez for the starting job next summer.

Start Mac

This "system" and I put that in quotes because it's more of a bullshit farce than a functioning system, is dependent upon a QB managing the game with ZERO turnovers... Aka, Mark is the exact wrong guy to do that.
