Flacco, Tebow and Sanchez are all elite qb's cause they can win games your arguments have convinced me. Can't wait to see all 3 in the hall of fame in 20 years with 10 superbowls under their belts.
Look at the playcalling when Sanchez is doing badly.. Yesterday's interception.. a play action from his own end zone with ONE receiver being sent out? Really? Then look at that first drive of the 3rd quarter when they ran, let Sanchez do play action off it, move outside the pocket.. and what happened? A flawless drive. Next time they got the ball, what did Schitty do? Spread the field, threw the ball down the field.. why? That's not Sanchez's game to just drop back in the pocket and throw down field. When he's put in a position to succeed, he usually does. When he's basically put in a position to fail, he does.. as most QB's probably would.
So Shotty told him to throw it into 5 guys right, a good intelligent quarterback wouldn't have thrown it out of bounds or changed the play? Are quarterbacks still allowed to audible in this league? Damn I feel bad for teams when they have to play Revis cause their primary receivers are always covered good thing Sanchez don't have to play Revis or hed have 15 picks a game.
See everyone keeps saying that and I TOTALLY disagree. The whole idea of that play is two things. Element of surprise going for a homerun when the defense is supposed to be thinking we are running and two, you max protect so there is no shot at a safety. The QB HAS to know that as soon as the play develops and Tone is not wide open, throw the ball away. I have no problem (and god knows that I have plenty of issues with Shotty and the offense) with going for broke on that one play. The QB has to be smart and as soon as he realizes its not there get rid of the ball. If that play hits and Buffalo sells out on the run, then we all say how great a call it was. Can't have it both ways. I have no issue with that call in that situation. Sanchez forced the ball into quadruple coverage. EDIT: - disagree with the point about the play from the endzone, I do agree with the other point about rolling Mark out and getting him on the move.
Good post. Once the safety held back in coverage, the play became too risky to throw it since, just as happened, the corner could safely cut under the receiver with the safety backing him up. Result was the INT. Bad decision, and those blaming the playcalling seem to be thinking that the Qb is not supposed to take into account how the D reacts as the play unfolds, where the db's are and whether the risk is too great to throw at the intended receiver. You can't honestly blame the OC for not knowing in advance how the D is going to be aligned as the play unfolds. Only the Qb will be in a position to read the D and decide if the first option still makes sense.
How is Newton higher than Sanchez on that list? because of the rushing TDs? because if so Sanchez should be ahead of Ryan no?
newton has a higher qb rating and that list is in order of qb rating, newton also has 10 rushing td's to go with his 12 td throws
If his offensive line blocks he is pretty effective. When his offensive line doesn't block, he is utterly ineffective. He's still progressing and winning.
Third year blues is a fact of life for a lot of really good NFL QB's. Sanchez is actually playing better than I'd have thought he was going to if you told me that Hunter was a failure at RT and Mangold got hurt for a few games and his backup was on IR also and the receivers would spend as much time learning the system as they have, etc.
Both are decent points When looking purely at stats Soss. one would argue that Sanchez needs to throw it away a bit more when you see some of the coverages he trys to squeeze things into. Its not the completetion % that scares me, but the number of passes the appear to be behind his intended target. It happens alot and every game, most often early on. Besides his over all reading of covereages, this is the most imporant thing he needs to work on. Be it reps in pratice or after pratice work, something needs to be fixed when he tyrs to hit short to medium distance crossing routes.
The answer to this thread question is simple: Mark Sanchez will never progress well enough to make stupid Jets fans happy. Never.
Usually I don't see him throwing bad to Keller, who coincidentally, is the only guy he's been throwing to for 3 years.
I agree the decision is still shit, but it's a known rule that you dont throw 15-25 yards over the middle in your own endzone. It's never a smart idea. I blame the concept and the decision. No one gets a free pass with that call, except the OL. They gave great protection on that play.
