Heh, "is Mark Sanchez overrated?"

That was a very good article. Pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject with respect solely on Mark Sanchez himself. The thing is it totally ignores the influence of the coaches and the scheme around him. If you think about it really… this is going to sound like me beating a very dead horse, but seriously man Brian Schottenheimer sucks so bad. Chad Pennington leaves the Jets, has the 2nd best year of his career with a similar supporting cast in Miami. Brett Favre leaves the Jets and goes to Minnesota and has the absolute best year of his career at age 82. The offense has been in the bottom half of the league every year Schotty has been OCing. And last year it was in the spots where Mark Sanchez was in control that the offense thrived.

So really, if anything Mark Sanchez is believe it or not UNDERRATED because he’s being held back by the offensive scheme. Maybe believing that makes me some kind of insane fanboy, but I think anyone here knows that I call things like I see them.

Also I doubt anyone reads this because who reads comments in a mass link post lol
