    We should hire Bill Cowher as our new HC and immediately fire him for this.

    by the next draft the talk will be about drafting another QB. We have a sad fanbase.

    the difference is Stewart was on teams w/ better defenses in a weaker division which led to byes and homefield. Kordell won 2 playoff games, both after byes at home. His D's allowed a total of 9 pts in those 2 games which is les than the lowest amount our D allowed in any postseason game. he threw 2 TDs and 8 INTs in 4 starts, sanchez 9 TDs and 3 INTs in 6 starts. Twice he had 3 INT games, the total Mark had in 6 games(all on the road). mark had a 3 TD game, more than Kordell in all 4 of his starts(all at HOME)

    That's my point. Cowher is the furthest thing from a QB expert that you can get in the NFL media.

    what choice did he have? and this is a man w/ a million div titles, 6 title game apps and 2 SB apps including a SB win. He may not be Lombardi but he was pretty good.

    What choice did he have? The guy used a wide receiver at QB for 5 years and replaced him with an XFL player.

    The draft is a choice.

    You two guys are arguing the samepoint form 2 different perspectivesandarguingcounter points the same way.

    I think this can be looked at as Cowher was a fool to not look elsewhere for a QB and also as he mismanaged the QBs improperly. But I argue against his management was poor because they did handle Rapistberger properly.

    So the argument swings that a) Cowher has no idea wtf he is talking about or b) Even the "god-like HC Cowher" would piss off Jets fans because he would be starting Sanchez.

    That latter point was why I posted the argument anyway. Rex's loyalty has nothing to do with Snatchez starting.

    Cowher never would have won a SB here b/c he would have been run out of town in the late 90s/early 00s.

    I understand the classic battle of raw, higher ceiling rookie vs more dependable veteran who won't be great, but won't kill you either, but I'm really not sure how it pertains here. Simply being in the league for 4 years doesn't make you more dependable than a rookie when you're still making rookie mistakes (or worse) all over the field with regularity.

    Where's the veteran "safety net" in starting a QB that is at the top of the turnover list every year, has trouble executing screen passes, throws INT's to linemen with regularity, forgets how much time is on the clock in the closing seconds of the half (that's not even a rookie mistake, anyone that has played a down of high school football should know what to do there) and runs into his guard's ass? What exactly are we saving ourselves from here? Is Geno somehow going to be expected to make more rookie mistakes than this?

    Now if Geno doesn't prove he can play better than Mark, that's one thing. If he craps the bed tomorrow, he shouldn't play, I get that, it hurts him, and the team. But I don't get the idea that Mark Sanchez represents any sort of veteran reliability when he's always making rookie mistakes.
