He has to find the happy medium between looking at his wideouts and looking off his intended receivers. It kind of goes both ways, a QB has to stare down his receiver occasionally for looking off a safety to work, or they won't buy the fake. Problem is, whenever it seems there is a play that is designed to go to a single receiver, he stares those down and killed drives on Sunday. Not just talking about the INTs, either.
another solid opinion.... This was the point I was trying to drive home after the Buffalo game...while everyone was heading to the nearest bridge to jump off of. Sanchez is on a steep learning curve......not every 1st round QB will come out smelling like a rose right off the hop, like Matt Ryan......and besides, Ryan had 3 years of starting experience at BC.. I know it's asking a lot....but this fanbase needs to turn a blind eye to the majority of Sanchez's mistakes this season. Rome wasn't built in a day. The kid is a student of the game...and has an excellent pedigree in the "hard working" dept.
Exactly. And while Sanchez certainly looked much worse in the Buffalo game than Ryan and Flacco ever did last season, neither one truly found his groove by this point of the season. Flacco in particular struggled early on last season. I believe he had 1 or 2 TDs through his first 6 games to go with half a dozen INTs. I would never suggest that people not be upset by the rookie's performance against Buffalo, but I have serious issues with the people who wrote him off after that game.
We were excited about Sanchez. We leave the dick sucking to our rival fans in 'faaaaaagulous' South Beach.
pretty much exactly like that. it is easy to get exited about something you have only seen the positives of. a few weeks ago a lot of people thought sanchez is the second coming, now they think he is a bust. getting caught up in the emotions of a performance creates a lot of irrationality.
Actually, this guy likes to curse me out and now stalks me on the board. You only know the half of it. My own truths... LOL. Yeah, I know I said Sanchez sucks... and he did, and he has. I hope he improves. I've been a Jets fan before most of the posters on this board were born. I've seen it all. I think the Jets are rushing the kid. Pardon my skeptisism.
It is just a matter of ironing out the rough edges. I am not worried at all about Sanchez and I am glad he's here. For once, the Jets went out and spent money on a good rookie QB. I guess the last time was Namath and I guess Pennington. At any rate, the guy has a good arm, his demeanor seems well suited to being the leader of the offense, and he has fantastic footwork that will only get better. The main thing he has to really work on is not staring down his receivers. Defenses read the QB's eyes like a book, and in the pros they will burn you a lot if you can't break the habbit. I think Sanchez knows he has to do a better job in this area and will in time. It is disappointing that we have lost a couple of games presumably to Sanchez's ball handling and INTS, but as a very young rookie we as fans have to expect this. Obviously we don't want it to go on for a long time, but his play in the NO and BUF games should come as no surprise to anyone. Sanchez possesses every tool to be good to great in this league. I guess we can't do it, until his next home game, but if he throws his first pick, instead of the crowd contemplating booing everyone in the stands should loudly start cheering, "Let's go Sanchez, Let's go Sanchez." That in itself may help, I don't know, but we can't get down on the guy; not yet anyway.
Huh? I stalk you? How does that work? I've called you out in a grand total of three threads in my entire time posting here. Twice because you gave up on Sanchez and made unfair insinuations about him, once because you were going waaaaay overboard on Woodhead. In fact, the other time I'm guessing you're talking about, with regards to the Reggie Hodges thread, I stuck up for you and tried to save you from implosion. Whether you'd care to admit it or not, I have no problem with you personally. I have a problem with your posts, and ANYONE'S posts, when you're wrong. If you think pointing out where you're wrong and out of line is stalking, then you must be quite the sensitive soul. I might have guessed that, however, by the fact that you refused to admit when you were wrong. You just changed your viewpoint and tried to move along to avoid further criticism. Man, I can't even count the number of people I must be stalking on here by your logic.
When he gets a full off-season, of watching his game-tapes and watches himself with his ball-handling and decision making it's going to make him that much better, he's a student of the game, he's not afraid of failure, he's definitely not used to losing as evident in his HS/College Career, but he's only going to get better, granted i'm loving this season regardless of what happens cause I like this team a lot, but i'm really looking forward to him learning a lot this summer, the dudes going to be eating, sleeping and shitting football all summer Our expectations of Sanchez shouldn't be so high as of now, all I want him really to do is manage the game and sometimes the OC makes him do a little more than asked, Year 2 were going to see a more different more poised Sanchez I just know it
Fuck Henne....... The day will come when he won't be able to carry Sanchez's dirty jock.....write it down. I have seen many come and go. I know what the great ones have that the pretenders don't. This kid is the real deal. He just needs time. Nobody got this wrong......this is the right kid. This kid is for real.
Is that supposed to be like a good thing? Watch your HC on the sideline. The guy runs around like a little girl when the Dolphins score.
Sanchez is great, he just needs to get that bitch ass sad look off his face and stay involved with the game on the sidelines, he needs to become a leader!!
He was out the last 2 games genious. I have watched each of his games he played. It's nice to have NFL game access because I watch many games at the click of a mouse. Have you watched any of Stafford's games or do you just base it on blind loyalty? And the last time I checked 3 was less then 5.
Please try to read more carefully. His entire point in those first two sentences was that Stafford hasn't even played for two straight weeks, hence the sarcastic "Oh yeah, he looked great!"
you think he's not a leader? ask the offense who leads them on the field. They are beyond impressed with how this kid commands a huddle. he has one bad game a 22 years of age. he's doing fine.
THis thread is amazing. It's like people forget that this team without Mark Sanchez didn't outright suck down the stretch last year. Our defense was mediocre, our running attack broke down at the end of the year to the point where a third and 2 was a passing down, Coles was dropping passes and Brett Freaking Favre broke down and outright throw balls up for grabs all over the place. Sanchez had a bad game last week but there were multiple players who outright sucked last week and the weak before our coaching staff and D blew chunks. This team has a long way to go and the one reason to be optimistic about the teams future has been the play of Sanchez. We got a gift on draft day, enjoy it!
He only talked about it because the media kept asking about it. Try watching the entire presser instead of making a snap judgment on an article written about it. http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/multimedia/video/1819-10-21-09-mark-sanchez-press-conference
