Keller has been Sanchez security blanket the past 3 years - do anyone think the Jets did'nt miss him last week? Basically he's been injured all season and the Jets hav'nt really done a thing - I think they signed Sanchez old high school buddy. Herdandez goes down and the next day they pick up Kellen Wilslow Jr. who was waiting for a call. Most probably the Pats pick pick up just where they left off with Winslow while the Jets will keep missing Keller. Jets are slow to react. Slow and cheap. One more thing that scares me. It was obvious by mid 3rd qtr that Sanchez was struggling against Pittsburgh. They put in Tebow - he gets a couple of first downs then one bad run by Greene and they pull him out. This scares me that Sparano can't read the situation and make a correct decision. Sanchez sukked the rest of the game. The obvious move was to give Tebow a chance but Sparano did'nt do it? Why? I've never seen Sanchez come back in a game that went bad for him. When he gets hit around he's done as alot of QB's in this league. Sanchez was nailed and was'nt the same. Sparano has to recognize this. This is'nt a beauty contest or we don't dare want to hurt Marks feelings - WE WANT TO WIN GAMES. Tebow obviously gave the Jets their best chance at that point. SPARANO DID'NT RECOGNIZE THAT AND THATS WHAT SCARES ME.
What are you maybe 10 years old? Seriously don't comment if you don't have a clue. Sanchez was 10 - 27 for 138 yrs for the game. I think he was 4-5 on his first drive making him 6 - 22 and about 50 yards over the final 3 qtrs and he didnt suck? Dont waste my time please!
The Patriots have more cap room left over than the Jets, so if the Jets are cheap what does that make the Patriots? Did you ever think that maybe Hernendez is going to be out for a more extended period of time than Keller?
Right 6 of 22 and the WRs dropped AT LEAST 8 by my count that were right on the money. If you want to argue that 18 of 27 (14 of last 22) is bad, go ahead. But don't pretend like it was 6's fault our WRs can't catch. The fact that they wouldn't know what to do if they ever experienced separation is another matter that might be worth discussing, too. I'm not a Sanchez appologist, but I will say that if you think he is the reason we lost THIS PARTICULAR GAME, you need to watch the game again.
Are you serious? LOL Had the receivers caught all the drops, he would have finished with 2 TDs, over 250 yards, and over a 110 rating. Learn the facts you idiot. I wasn't aware receivers dropping passes make a QB suck. He had no turnovers and other than a few throws, was very accurate. You definitely must have been watching a different game lmao
We really need to stop with the dropped passes excuse. All QB's deal with dropped passes, and a lot of the dropped passes were just strongly defended passes. Sanchez had a poor game, time to move on. Hopefully he has a lot more week 1 like performances than week 2 like performances.
Another ignorant blindly faithful Tebowmaniac. Did you watch the game? Did you watch the All-22 film? The Jets max protected which meant that only 3 receivers were running pass patterns. The Steelers jammed the Jets receivers at the line of scrimmage, particularly Hill, and had under and over coverage with the CBs and Safeties. The bottom line is that Sanchez had very few open receivers to throw to. Add in the 8 drops. So how is all of that the fault of Sanchez? You are just another simplistic, completely unsophisticated fan who only watches the ball and the QB and blames the QB for everything. By the way, 10 for 27 is about a typical passing game for Tebow. When Tebow can pass anywhere close to the level of an NFL caliber QB is when he will become and remain a starting QB. I would the chances of that happening are slim and none. He can run, but his passing deficiencies make his value as a QB extremely limited. Until the Jets can run the ball for more than 4 yards a carry and until the receivers can consistently defeat press coverages and get separation, Sanchez will have a tough time.
"Had the receivers caught all the drops, he would have finished with 2 TDs, over 250 yards, and over a 110 rating. " I'm not buying all that BS. Stats don't lie my friend. I saw hurried throws where the receivers were not even ready. I saw throws where the receiver was gonna get lit up by a safety if he caught it. I saw over throws. Yes there were a few drops but look at the score and look at Sanchez numbers in the game. They don't lie. Sanchez was ineffective and the Jets lost and you are telling me something different? Hey I love Sanchez. He is 10 times more talented than Tebow but when he's off he's off. In my estimation Tebow had a better chance after 2 1/2 qtrs to win that game. Thats all. But you go ahead and think Sanchez had a great game. Blame it all on the drops. Sanchez is a top 5 QB but the drops bring him down.
So every time we get a short term injury, we have to sign someone new. The Pats rely on the TE more then us and he's out longer then they are saying.
It's not an excuse though. Sanchez was pretty damn accurate save for a swing pass and a screen and was getting the ball to the receivers. He didn't throw any picks or anything. What else could he have done? That's what I don't understand. There are games that I agree that he has looked like total dogshit but I don't think that he looked like that last Sunday. To me it was receivers not doing their job and catching the balls that were thrown to them.
profootballfocus showed 1 drop for the entire game, the rest were defensed or poor passes, hopefully next week is better.....it needs to be
Shockey couldn't hurt . . . of course ALL the coaches on here will kill anyone who brings up an idea "THEY" didn't come up with . . . .
Signing Kellen Winslow makes no sense. Keller should be back this week or next which means at maximum you have him at maximum for 2 weeks. 2 weeks isn't enough time for a player to make an impact usually. I would have rather taken my chances with cumberland last week because he looked decent against buffalo. I'm not sure where profootballfocus came up with only 1 drop? I like their work, but this one I just don't get. It was a collective loss last week, move on.
The Jets already have Kellers replacement on the roster, his name is Jeff Cumberland. They are both receiving tight ends who are terrible blockers. The Pats didnt have a direct replacement for Hernandez, so they went out and got one. A #2 tight end doesn't play a big role in our offense, where as a #2 TE on the Pats offense is usually Brady's #3 or #4 read. So with DK down Cumberland moved up to #1 (hes the closest thing to a DK replacement without wasting cap) and then moved in Reuland to our #2 te (where hes at least as good of a blocker as DK/Cumb) and he did decent in the receiving game last week. People that are ZOMG MAKE A MOVE JETS are the reason that Tebowmania gets so much damn coverage
It's true that all QBs deal with dropped passes. And when they have 8 in one game, especially if they are a historically inconsistent QB (like Sanchez) they get hammered by the fans and the media. If you want to put all the blame on the loss on #6, be my guest. He certainly has room for improvement. However, from what I've seen in the last two games and the preseason, Sanchez has finally become an asset to this team. If you're looking for a weakness, may I suggest the linebacker corp, the poor tackling, the inability of the WRs to get open, the inability of the WRs to catch, and the inability of the RBs to hit a hole with authority. --all of these are bigger problems for the NYJ than is the QB, though he has SEVERAL issues of his own. I've been pleased with the pass protection (which we all expected to be the biggest liability with this offense when WFH was around) but I'd like to see us open up some bigger holes in the running game. I almost feel bad for calling out the RBs, because the O-line isn't helping them out much........but every time they manage to clear a hole, SG and BP jog up to it and fall down. I wouldn't be blocking enthusiastically for that, either. Maybe for the paycheck though.
