"Because Brees is inconsistant, and has very poor accuracy, and couldn't see open receivers last year. This year he has improved on everything, and I give him credit for being a great competator, but Rivers is more accurate right now then Brees, and can see the field as good or better, and has a much quicker release." Who was his QB coach?
If only we could go into the future......but yea same comments, all a product of the same poor coach.
Perfect time machine here. Drew Brees was inconsistent, inaccurate and couldn't spot open receivers so San Diego drafted Phliip Rivers and ultimately let Brees go. Having Brian Schottenheimer intimately involved with that particular crime makes this season so much more understandable.
So what you're saying is if you trade Sanchez to a warmer gulf coast team Sachez will break Drew Brees' single season yardage record in a few years? Interesting thoughts.
In 2004 two important things happened in the Chargers offense: 1. Antonio Gates broke out in his second season on what would become one of the most prolific careers for a tightend in NFL history. 2. The Chargers dialed back the passing game big time, with Brees attempts per game dropping from 34.2 to 27.9. The Chargers went from 554 passes and 417 runs in 2003 to 470 passes and 525 runs in 2004. Sound familiar?
Send Schotty ...AND TANNENBAUM... packing before Sanchez. Give Mark a decent OC and line and see what happens. Then see if there is any improvement over the course of a season. Not an instant cure, but an effective evaluation of the QB.
Or a rettorikill quishon There are some parallels, but there are some big differences too. The Bolts had a top 4 draft overall pick waiting in the wings to replace Brees, and were coming to a crossroads on deciding whether to pay Brees or let him walk.
I just want to see what Sanchez can do with a new OC. This alone would make me steer away from Schotty as any type of coach, let alone the OC position. I can not give up on him until we give him an opportunity with someone new. The Jets should fire Schotty, hire an OC (insert Joe Lombardi, Tom Moore who I doubt, or Tom Clements), let Sanchez play a year under a new offensive regime and then evaluate him. If by then he doesnt seem to fit the mold of a franchise QB, part ways knowing you gave him and the 5th overall pick a more than solid shot. Drew Brees showed flashes of greatness, and flashes or poor play (similar to Eli), and before he got injured and once he got to NO, he was great... I mean it all sounds so similar to what is going on now.
Thats nice and all but this thread implied that schotty is the biggest reason for Sanchez struggles. So if schotty were to be blamed for Brees struggling, regardless of what happened to their offense does schotty get credit for Brees breakout? Btw schotty wasn't even their oc so I don't see the point. But I'm playing along anyway.
Considering Brees is considerably better in N'awlins than he was in San Diego, I credit Schotty for holding him back. He went to the Saints and became a Hall of Famer.
Interesting point but Brees had two productive seasons with schotty as his qb coach. So does he get credit for those two years since schotty is getting blamed for Brees early struggles?
The point is, Schottenheimer's bad influence was limited in that break-out year. So do you give him credit for fucking Brees less in 2004? If that's the kind of credit you think Schottenheimer deserves, why the hell not?
replace Chargers / Bolts with JETS and I feel like I'm reading half the threads here: This was Brees's 3rd season btw..... :breakdance:
I missed this week being away but I'm sure everyone blames Sanchez and the OC, I guess it was Mark's fault that we were constantly in 1st and 15,m 2nd and 20, 3rd and 15 w/ all the penalties? I guess it's Mark's fault Mangold botched the sanp, I guess it was Mark's fault w/ the BS OPI on Burress that wiped out a TD? People will look at the stat sheet and see 50-60 passes and go nuts yet fail to realize we were always in passing situations w/ the penalties. It seemed every drive we had one.
