Who doubted this kid? I do recall posts by our most knowledgeable members talking about how a great QB makes everyone around him better. We are seeing it happen before us every week. Its beautiful.
Pretty funny... Guaranteed those 2 assholes run around telling everyone they know how great of a pick Sanchez was and how they've believed in him since day one and have no clue this clip exists which immortalizes them as jackasses.
I remember one of them was on here and tried to defend himself saying that they weren't pissed off at the pick but hated the reason behind it. What dicks.
6 weeks ago, I would have said that the best part of the article is seeing what a selfish fool Brett Favre is. Now, his team is awful, and we have the best record in the league. So, I'll just bask in the glory that is Mark bleeping Sanchez.
It's going to take a while for people to realize Sanchez is a good QB. People love to hate on him. Just enjoy it, since we know it's true.
LT has been great this year. But we all know he would get fewer touches backing AP. Didn't he say earlier his wife wouldn't live in Minni?
I was not excited about LT coming here. I thought he'd be a disruption to a young qb, as well as be a mediocre performer on the field. I thought him a selfish, over the hill star who's best was long gone. I was wrong. He juked my open field prejudice.

I'll paste it here... Mark Sanchez is turning practices into reality By Sam Farmer Mark Sanchez leads the New York Jets to comeback victories all the time — the clock winding down, the crowd ringing in his ears, the do-or-die pressure … And then another day of practice is over. "I can't tell you how many times we've worked on the throws, worked on the situations with timeouts," Sanchez said Tuesday. "We've put it up on the scoreboard. It's a mock situation. [Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer] is on the headset. We put the crowd noise in there. It's about as real as it gets." This season, all that work is paying off. For the first time in his football career — counting high school and USC — Sanchez has won games in the fourth quarter or overtime. Get sports scores and updates, delivered to your mobile phone.

The Jets, who play host to Cincinnati on Thanksgiving, followed consecutive overtime victories at Detroit and Cleveland with a rollicking fourth-quarter comeback victory over Houston at home, clinched when Sanchez threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 10 seconds to play. "I've never had a comeback until this year, not once," said Sanchez, who also directed comeback victories at Denver in Week 6 and at Detroit in Week 9. "Lost two in college. Lost them all last year. So this is the first time I've really done it … "I know that was kind of a knock coming out of college, that, 'He's never had a comeback in a game. They've been up. He hasn't played a lot of football.' To me, that was, 'All right, give me a chance to come back. I'm going to win it — not making a miraculous play, but just making the plays we know how to make.' " NFL Network analyst Joe Theismann, who will work Thursday's game broadcast, said Sanchez "has grown tremendously" in his second season, and that Sanchez and Schottenheimer could wind up with the same kind of productive quarterback-coordinator relationship that Indianapolis' Peyton Manning and Tom Moore enjoyed for so many years. Like their mirror-image records, the Jets (8-2) and Bengals (2-8) are teams heading in opposite directions. New York has won eight of nine and is tied with New England atop the AFC East. Cincinnati, at the bottom of the AFC North, has the league's longest losing streak, seven games. This matchup also pits two former USC quarterbacks — Sanchez and the player he has long called a mentor, Carson Palmer. When it comes to comebacks — if only in practice — Sanchez has always tried to emulate someone else: Hall of Fame member John Elway. "Elway has always been one of my favorites," he said. "He's tough. He'll make plays with his legs. He just seems like one of those guys that's a fighter, just never dies."
