Ah, yes, the Seattle game. The game in which Sanchez threw for 96 yards and missed a wide open receiver for a TD. I remember it well. Do you? Isn't it amazing how unlucky Mark is??? He just can't seem to find a defense that doesn't blow games for him. Heck, even when he had the "outstanding"(your word) Rex Ryan as his coach, his defense just always let him down in the end. Poor guy. Junc, try and see the big picture here. Mark is 28 years old and he's already a backup. He's bound to be a journeyman NFL quarterback for the next 10 years. He's Kyle Orton 2.0. That's the guy you are slurping. Just remember that.
did you know in the last 6 weeks not a single team besides the Sanchez led Eagles score more than 7 pts in a game against Seattle? and Philly scored 14. Mark was a backup for half a season and that's b/c of our GM. he will be a starter again.
I'd rather have Mark in a big game than Rivers no doubt about it. w/ less talent around him has had much more playoff success. actually you brought up Rivers yesterday in another lame attempt to deflect. The INT wasn't good but Wash got the ball near midfield, why couldn't the D get a stop? again, brought his team back from 10 down on the road in the 4th qtr. did Rivers tied the game up against us at HOME in the playoffs when his K missed 2 makeable kicks?
lol the big dog knowledgeable members of this forum don't bother responding to junc unless they want to make fun of him. So he's left to battle with people that are bored or new to the forum pretty awesome
You don't know shit about the x's and o's of this game. There is never any depth to your discussions, just a bunch of cliches and moronic blanket statements that are meaningless. Reading your posts is like watching a shittier version of First Take where the argument you are going to make was decided before the season even began because it is based on whether or not you like a player/team or not. Like a little girl picking a team in the NCAA bracket challenge because she thinks the mascot looks "neat!!". LOL. I actually love it because ever since you got exposed for talking out of both sides of your mouth you have been more and more desperate so you have been looking more and more stupid. Please don't ever change. Every court needs it's jester
there's more to this game than just x's and o's. I have a deep understanding of this game, something most do not including yourself. Every situation is different but you will latch on to a meaningless point of 2 somewhat similar situations so never have I been exposed but again that lack of true understanding of this game prevents you from seeing that so in your world every INT is the same, every TD the same, every pass the same, etc... all you do is latch on to others and hurl insults, you are like the little kid friend of the bully in a Christmas story. you add nothing here.
Yeah, it could be John Idzik's fault. Or, it could be that no GM in football thinks Mark is the long term solution at quarterback. Either way, he's still a backup and he still only got a chance to play because of an injury.
The Jets had more playoff success than the Chargers. That is the correct way to look at it and that's what you always miss. You fall into the Sanchez "beat" Brady, Manning, and Rivers trap. It's nonsense. No GM in the NFL would take Sanchez over Rivers. No one outside of a few delusional Sanchez homers thinks he will be anything other than a journeyman NFL QB.
The fact that he would have started over Geno doesn't mean much more than he would have been a starter for another year here. He was never going to be the long term answer here, or anywhere else. He's a mediocre QB and destined to be a career backup/journeyman.
Peyton and Brady have had a bunch of playoff success(though Peyton should have much more) and they have their teams in contention every single season. Rivers couldn't win w/ top talent and has barely made 1 playoff app since 2010. if he starts here in 2013 we make the playoffs, the GM sabotaged these 2 seasons looking long term which he never had a chance to fulfill. I have never said he was a great QB, he's certainly closer to mediocre than great but he's a guy you can win with if the right pieces are in place.
If you really were so confident in your pronounced football knowledge, you wouldn't feel the need to bring it up every 4 or 5 posts
Please. You don't understand shit. You hide behind a bunch of catchphrases and beat people over the head with them to try to hide the fact that you don't know anything about football. Every argument that gets too complex and exposes your lack of understanding you inevitably bust out one of your corny lines. Like "hurl insults". You can't even change up the delivery. It is always "hurl insults". Because you can't come up with anything else. Like I said, please don't ever change. We all love the daily laughs
Ok, cool. He's still a lot better than Sanchez ever will be and anyone with a functioning brain would take him over Sanchez in less time than it takes for you to remind the rest of The GangGreen about how deep of an understanding of football you have. Yeah, he sabotaged these seasons by not bringing back Kyle Orton 2.0 You can win with a lot of guys with the "right pieces in place." Heck, the Ravens won a Superbowl with Trent Dilfer. The Bucs won a Superbowl two years later with an aging Brad Johnson. The key is to get those "right pieces in place." There isn't a team in the current NFL that has enough of the "right pieces in place" to win the SB with a guy as decidedly mediocre as Sanchez.
Al of my "catchphrases" are original as I am. I don't follow the crowd like you do, I don't allow "experts" to tell me how to think. all you do is hurl insults, you never get involved in actual discussions. you are a hit and run poster. stop boring me, either actually participate for a change or go away.
You use these fantasy scenarios way too often. Wasn't Sanchez going to take the Eagles deep into January if he got his shot?
I don't do that at all but when I am attacked by those beneath me every once in a while it comes out. Kyle Orton- the guy who has never won a playoff game? the guy who was benched for Rex Grossman? the guy who had a SB caliber team around him and never won a playoff game? yep, Kyle 2.0 Trent Dilfer was VITAL to that SB run, the average fan makes fun of him b/c they don't understand what he did. the average fan needs 300 yd games to tell them a QB played well. there are many teams that could win a SB w/ Mark- there are no teams that could win w/ Rivers.
