you beat me to it.... you know something is terribly wrong when your excuse for the interception is: - the protection was great, but the QB was expecting it to be bad - the 3rd option checkdown, and a guy he shouldnt have considered throwing to, fell down.
it might take 11 guys to make a play, but it only takes 1 guy to screw it up. and too often sanchez is that 1 guy
no appearant reason? how about that tebow has been thge NFL's most effective short yardage player inside the 5 yardline since he has come into the league? id say thats a decent reason. you know, its funny. sanchez throws a horrible interception, and you have 55 excuses as to other things that happen. Tebow comes out for a 3rd and 1 play, keller has a false start, and you are blaming the tebow package for screwing things up.
you dont need to use hyperbole or exaggerate because you got (rightfully) called out for making unreasonable excuses. -Sanchez isnt the worst qb in the history of football. but he might very well be the worst qb in football so far this season. -Sanchez isnt the sole reason our team sucks, but if he isnt the main reason then he is #1b or #2. when its obvious that the qb had made a horrible decision and throw on a play where the design worked, his first 2 options where open, and he had all day to throw, then YES there is no reason to analyze anything else on that particular play.
Thanks for helping out here jerseyjay... I was getting tired. It's like performing an exorcism on this guy.
You can slap Barcs in the face with fact after fact, but his mind continues to repel them with his nerdy, green colored glasses. I LOVE the Jets, but when things are bad, it's okay to critique them. Why? Because as a fan, I want them to get better. I want to see them win a SB before I die. Barcs will only focus on whatever positives his mind concocts. Facts, even if negative, only get in the way. He is rapidly becoming the poster boy for tool sunshiners on this site.
I just wish people could get past the "he needs more weapons!" phase. It me a long time, but I finally did it. Look at Andrew Luck - worse OL than the Jets, RBs are Donald Brown/Vick Ballard, 2 rookie TEs (both look solid, but come on now), Reggie Wayne (who has been great this year but before season was looked at a 34 year old, over the hill stiff). The #2 WR Collie gets knocked out for the year in pre-season leaving them with Donnie Avery (journeyman) and another rookie WR. Luck has elevated the play of his lousy weapons.
No, he isn't the worst QB in history and he's far from being the only problem on the team or the only reason that they suck. That said, he did completely fark up that play and his performance so far this year has most definitely been a part of the problem.
But what do you if your QB isn't that talented? You surround him with weapons. How come we haven't done that? That's the question. Flacco has Bolding, Ray Rice, Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones. Matt Ryan has Turner, White, Julio, Tony G. Stafford has Calvin, Pettigrew. Freeman has Martin and VJax. Those are 4 QBs drafted around Sanchez's time and all starting. Sanchez has Greene, Kerley, Hill, Keller. Not exactly beating the world. It's what you do when your QB can't lift the play of others, you have others lift the play of him.
Mark Sanchez is just your standard below-average QB. If I were to compare him to a test grade, he would be about a 74. Mind as well let Teboner play and see what he can do, atleast we could look forward to a top 5 draft pick.
Tannehill has 5 TDs and 9 picks. 2, 3 pick games and only 1 multi TD game. He had a nice early rookie QB no tape decent start.
That's devastating! Even the biggest Sanchez Kool-Aid drinker would have to rethink their position after reading that.
when you are arguing which stats to use with a rookie qb on an under .500 piss poor team you know you have no argument.
At this point I'd give Sanchez about a 60 grade and that's being generous. Problem is I'd give teblows a 40. And it's "might as well".
what's silly is comparing a rookie who the defense have no tape on to a 4th year starter in the league that DC actively gameplan for. Tannehill, Cam Newton, RG3, all come crashing down to earth after the league adjusted to them. To have sustained success you can't be a flash in the pan.
