Sweet. Gannon is an intelligent dude, I always liked him. I think Edwards may be gone after 2010 with Holmes being the one resigned. I can't see both getting long term extensions.
Sanchez interceptions last year were mostly rookie mistakes with a generous helping of unfamiliarity with his starting receivers. 5 of his 20 interceptions came in the game where he had no Cotchery and no Stuckey (the guys he spent most of the off season working with) and a brand new WR in town who did not know the Jets offense yet. His offensive coordinator's obliviousness to context was also a big issue. Bringing in Gannon to work with him will give him another perspective on how to play QB successfully in the NFL, and that's a good thing, however we don't want Sanchez turning into Gannon or Pennington or that type of QB. He still has the potential to be a tier 1 game maker instead of a game manager.
It certainly seemed like when Sanchez stopped trying to force the ball to Edwards the picks came less frequently.
I'm all for that. Even though the stink of homeless pee and vomit will follow him around - he's a self proclaimed Jets fan. BAWHAHAHAHA!!!! :hackett: He isn't coming as a QB coach for reasons stated before. I still have nightmares seeing him and Hermie botching a draw play and screwing up the clock management. What's next the return of Mike Heimerdingerdumbledore?
no, he was good for most of his career then had about 4 great years -- he made 4 straight Pro-Bowls. are you attempting to claim 1 or 2 of those seasons he wasn't very good but still made the Pro Bowl? your assertion is either ignorance or dishonesty.
Why? This is why. Nothning anyone says can convince us otherwise. We'll never forget how bad Paul Hackett was with the Jets. :hackett: :hackett:
Thats BS. Edwards ran some great routes for us, he just dropped alot of passes also. That route he ran against Indy in the AFC Championship game was as good as it gets!! And then he caught that one for 80 yards!! hmy: Call Edwards inconsistent, but you cant say he isnt a great route runner. As for you saying you'd rather have Holmes. Not me, we need a big number 1 and Holmes is not a big number 1. I think/hope Edwards busts his ass this offseason and breaks out!
him and mark had awful chemistry when it came to passing in the middle of the defense. i think he was better with edwards along the sidelines.
Ummm... No way Hobbes. Just the sight of Paul F'n Hackett in the bldg. brings to mind the 3rd and 30 draw plays of years gone by..
Probowl is a popularity contest first of all and second Hackett wasn't even with Raiders when Gannon was having these years. Look again at his stats and tell me that he was good for most of his career. Besides those 4 years his best year was 16 TD 16 INT. http://www.nfl.com/players/richgannon/profile?id=GAN296635
you really believe all of that? I love how you pick the one route that Sanchez set up with the pump fake on a young, inexperienced CB. Good job. Yes, he's inconsistent. An inconsistent route runner, and pass catcher. And Holmes has shown he's head and shoulders above Edwards on the football field.
One's unreliable on the field, one's off. I see whichever one that corrects their problems getting extended.
its easier to stop being a fucking idiot off the field then it is being a non-clutch WR on it. I'll take Holmes.
Agreed. It's not about 'becoming' one guy or the other; it's more about getting input and perspective from different people, be it Gannon or whoever. This is what Gannon brings to the table: - veteran leadership - Superbowl experience - knowledge of mobility at the QB position (everything that that entails) - ability to make precise reads & decisions/quick release - *experience in gameplans that were forced to abandon the Run and, thus, were transformed into Passing-attacks, in which (obviously), he had to command *IMO, this is quintessential to winning a Superbowl __________________________________________________ Along with whatever else Gannon offers, his knowledge of those bulleted points should provide some very sound and useful advice, while still allowing Sanchez to grow into Sanchez.
I think both problems are subjective and in this case actually are dependent on some of the same roots. For Holmes to stop having off-the-field issues he has to shrink his ego a little, recognize that he has some social issues, and address them. Relatively, Braylon needs to realize that he's not a great route runner and allow himself to be more coach-able in order to improve. I wouldn't call one easier than the other. For an average person, yes... the off the field stuff is going to seem a lot easier than trying to be a clutch wideout for an NFL Franchise.... but these are professional athletes, and their perspective is vastly different than a typical middle class citizen. Not that I'm deifying them, but they see everyday life through tinted lenses. With that being said we'll see how it all develops. I don't think Holmes is a true #1, where I think Braylon has more overall potential. On the field, right now, today... I'd take Holmes.
