The leash is short and should be, I want to see how he responds. W/ Pitt and Indy winning yesterday the playoffs are pretty much done so we have to use this time to evaluate players. This is a good test for a still young QB moving forward.
:buffaloblows: They both played in the same game, one had success one didn't. Same offensive players, against the same defense. Mark struggled, Greg moved the ball.
um we ran the ball w/ McElroy, it wasn't anything Greg did. 2 big runs got us in scoring position along w/ some penalties. The best thing Greg did was give the Stadium(and team) a jolt of energy.
One played while being booed during warmups and had to endure fans spewing some pretty hateful things at him. The other came in and energized the stadium as well as the team. Totally seperate circumstances and not the first time a back up has come in and sparked a team. I agree Sanchez is garbage and I am not trying to minimize your excitement for change but to think that McElroy can execute with the lack of talent and obtain better results may be wishful thinking. On top of that, you can't just forget the financial implications in the long run.
the best thing greg did was not throw 3 interceptions and nto throw an interception when the jets got in the redzone.
what financial implications? whether we start sanchez, mcelroy, or tebow we still pay the same amount towards the salary cap. id rather pay makr 14M to sit on the sidelines then pay him 14m to be on the field killing any chance we have to win games
he didn't have time, he threw one on a pass he threw up for grabs and got bailed out w/ a flag, he set up another fumble putting his RB in a bad situation.
you are beyond amazing... sancheese has another sancheesey day under 50 percent with 3 ints which you dont care about because they kick your entire mark is good theory in the balls. they even let him come out after half time and he performs just as fucking miserably. THEN the guy that nobody thinks can play comes in and leads the team down the field and all of a sudden those same guys that sucked so bad that they were holding mark back are the reason greg did well? yes the running game got better. thank you greg. yes we got a penalty. YES WE SCORED A FUCKING TOUCHDOWN... you are at clown status with me at this point with your continued lack of grasp on reality.
Um, we ran the ball well with Sanchez too, we could have ran it more with Sanchez, but he kept throwing INT's every chance he got. Sanchez = 0 points. Gman = 14 points. (should have been) Greg kept drives going handing off the ball, passing the ball and running the ball, but most important keeping possession of the ball.
The Jets won't let him sit the bench paying him 14 mil. They can cut him and only guaranteed money counts against the cap. The problem is that's now dead money that can't be used to replace him. Jets are already facing having only 36 players signed and only 11 mil to accomplish that without starting to make cuts. That's the financial implication.
lol @ nyjunc. Any help that Mark gets from the team, Mark gets all the credit. But if McElroy does, it wasn't anything McElroy did. Gotta love it
I said he should be benched but sorry for not going wild over a scoring drive where we ran it for 40 yds and had 20 yds in penalties and our 2 biggest runs came on runs we didn't use at any other point in the game but yeah it was all McElroy. we didn't have the big runs we had on the McElroy drive and we didn't run that counter which we ran twice w/ Greg for 27 yds which set us up in scoring position along w/ a huge penalty. Greg did a nice job but let's not make this out to be some incredible performance. what did I post that wasn't true?
if by "he got bailed out with a flag" you mean "the intended reciever was blatant held on the play preventing him from making an attempt on the ball" then yea, he got bailed out. this might be the dumbest thing ever said on this site. which says alot, since there is some really dumb stuff posted on here. how in the world can a QB 'put the rb in a bad situation' by handing the ball off cleanly on a designed running play?
if anyone think that melcroy will replicate the "success" he had yesterday going forward then they don't know football and talent melcroy revealed himself to be what we thought he was. a backup and 3rd stringer. no arm, no accuracy. it's unlikely we will make the playoff this year so i don't mind having melcroy play and let the fans realize what he is so there's no delusion.
again, whether mark sits next year making 14 million and greg starts makign the minumum, or vice versa, you still are spending the same amount on your QB position. qbs have made more while sitting on the bench.
Are you on Sanchez's left nut and mute on his right one? McElroy revealed this: He doesn't turn the ball over He doesn't have anyone cringing when he throws. Nobody is expecting an interception. He moves the ball down the field very well. He seems to be a good leader on the field He elevates the play of the team around him. Tell me one positive thing Sanchez did THIS year.
you should go wild for ANY scoring drive, since we struggle so much to score. you know what we also didnt have? a turnover by mcelroy in the redzone why do we need an incredible peformance? how about he just plays better then being the worst starting qb in football and a turnover machine? we dont need him to be great to win, just not be awful.
Hahahahaha what? You're blaming Bell's fumble on McElroy? Troll status confirmed. McElroy made the smart play there. His receivers weren't open, he dumped it off to a rb who looked like he was going to gain some yards and he did. Not Greg's fault the rb couldn't hold onto the damm ball. Had Sanchez been in there he would've forced it and gotten picked off by Rhodes again.
Yes but Sanchez not making a clean handoff and then kicking the ball out the back of the end zone is a heads up good play by Sanchez. The double standard is crazy
