When a Passing Game Can Do Nothing Right

The sad thing is if his comp % is 5 points higher I doubt we have these posts.

i was on here last year defending folk when everyone wanted him ran out of town . the reason i was defending him was because i could see his confidence was at an all time low . he got cut from the cowboy’s after being a pro bowl player for them . he missed some kicks and you could see him thinking " oh no , not again "
i can see the same thing with sanchez this year . its not fun for him anymore like his 2 previous years . the weight of the teams sucess was put on his shoulders this year and that is what hampered sanchez . you can see the fear in his eyes during games . instead of going out saying " i’m gonna throw a TD " he’s saying " oh god i hope i don’t F up "

its hard to play to your potential when fear of failure gets a hold on you and this is the 1st time sanchez had to deal with that . some players need to get chewed out to perform better whereas other might need an arm on their shoulder and hear encouraging words . i don’t know which sanchez needs but the coaches are not aware of which guy sanchez is yet.

I’m not sure what the prevailing feeling is about Bob Glauber here or whether or not this column was discussed but in a recent column Glauber wrote the following for Newsday:

“With his team facing a worthy NFC foe on Christmas Eve and a playoff spot hanging in the balance, the quarterback produced a miserable performance in a blowout loss, leading to increasing questions about whether he truly is the long-term answer for the franchise.

He had been acquired in a blockbuster first-round trade three years earlier, but the wretched showing in the next-to-last game of the season created even more uncertainty about his future. There was a growing consensus from the fans — and even many in the pro football personnel community — that the quarterback might amount to nothing more than the latest NFL bust.

Mark Sanchez?

No, Eli Manning.

Go back exactly five years to the day, and you’ll see that Manning was coming off an atrocious showing in a 30-7 loss to the Saints in New Orleans. He was 9-for-25 for 74 yards, one touchdown and an interception. The Giants fell to 7-8, Tom Coughlin’s job was on the line, and only a win over the Redskins in the final week of the season would put them in the playoffs and get Coughlin into the 2007 season as head coach.

The Giants got that win, but not before Coughlin made a bold move that ultimately benefited his franchise quarterback.

With major questions swirling about how the Giants were handling the play-calling for Manning, Coughlin replaced offensive coordinator John Hufnagel with quarterbacks coach Kevin Gilbride, who previously had called plays for Coughlin in Jacksonville."

Basically Glauber goes on to call for Callahan to replace Schotty in calling the plays.

This isn’t Madden Football. Look at the 1st picture. Then look at the 2nd picture. How many steps do you think it is from the numbers to the spot where he’s releasing the ball? I’d say 3 or maybe 4 at the most. If your running, and not jogging, because no one jogs in the NFL, the speed is faster than what we see on TV when your on the field. How long does it take you to run with the ball down, to over your head, and out of your hand….while running? 2 Steps? I’m gonna guess 3 steps, which is where he is standing when he’s releasing the ball. To run, locate the receiver, get your arm into a passing position, and release the ball, 3 steps minimum. Maybe 4 if your running fast. You all may be right, but I think your all being overly critical and minimizing how difficult it is to throw a pass on the run while scrambling. Remember, this is not a designed play.

every single QB in the league makes that throw, but apparently Mark can’t see an open Receiver right in front of him

You know how elite QBs can “throw receivers open?” Sanchez to me does the opposite. He tends to “throw receivers into coverage.” Meaning, he waits so long that he doesn’t throw it on time when the guys ARE open, but he holds it and holds it until he has to make a ridiculously hard throw into a covered man. I know our receivers don’t do a great job of getting separation, but the timing of Sanchez’s throws certainly isn’t doing the corps of receivers any favors in that respect.

He just seems like he’s playing scared to not lose the game. He is playing with zero confidence right now.

Of course this is all speculation, but Rex being a D guru and Brian Shittycaller’s predictable prevent offense all points to Sanchez getting drilled constantly about never making a mistake. When you play obsessed about making mistakes, you are guaranteed to make more mistakes.

We need a proven QB coach in the building. WTF has Cavanaugh ever done to show that he has the ability to mold a young QB into a serviceable NFL QB????

Sanchez may not be the franchise QB we all want him to become, but IMHO the offensive staff the Jets have assembled is not up to the task. The play of the entire offense over the last 3 years has proven that. I just hope the kid hasn’t been ruined beyond fixing….

The key words in this article for me are " This is a trend too" & " Mark frequently holds it too long" ….Because I seen it all year … examples are there like at the Oakland Raiders(game 3 started our fist slump of the season) he held the ball to long on a broken play at abou the 20-25 yard line where the reciever was open before he decided to throw it towards the endzone and what should’ve been a touchdown and a comfortable lead turned into a momentum killer and then a lost when the raiders realized they were still in the game and still had D. Mcfadden.
just saying … I remember a few myself and I dont have the luxury of game film.
