Sanchez Worst QB in the League Under Pressure?

It’s fixable I suppose. I hope his pocket presence improves.

He should know where he is going with the ball if he is getting pressured right away. He needs to do a better job recognizing the matchups, and seeing things before they happen.

The eye-ball test supports these findings. Wonder if they have a stat that measures performance under perfect conditions too. I’ll bet he’s pretty bad then as well.

This year’s stats are meaningless to me. We’ve seen his worst. Now I will hope to see his best. If we don’t, we’ll undoubtedly move on.

Teams were able to put a lot of pressure on the Jets, because they didn’t even have to worry about the deep ball. It blows my mind that Schotty didn’t try to stretch the field at least 3 or 4 times per game. I know that its risky with an inaccurate QB, and a bad RT. But its impossible to have a successful offense when teams can send extra guys, and stack the box against the run. Even the Broncos (with Tebow) threw the ball deep to keep the defense honest.

or just let him go to a place like Seattle where he will excel. This organization drafts a QB with the 5th pick and then gives him Schottenheimer and Cavanagh as his coaches. The guy plays one year at USC and we cant even give him decent coaching.

This whole mess is on the organization for not developing a talented QB. One day all the haters will regret it when Mark Sanchez is playing well in another uniform.

He lost his confidence, and didn’t have the proper coaching to help him get his confidence back. I’ve seen this kid go through all his reads then find the open receiver. Now I see him look at his first option then go straight to his dump off receiver.

havent heard anything lately about the QB coach situation. Is it basically down to getting Daboll if he isnt hired by the chiefs or sticking with Cavanagh? It would be nice to get Hue Jackson or Todd Haley.

This organization must replace Cavanagh. There is absolutely no justification for keeping him. Hopefully daboll gets the KC job and we replace Cavanagh with an experienced hand.

I didnt like the Sparano hire and one of the reasons is he has no experience working with QBs. The organization needs to realize that a top QB coach is essential if we are going to get the best out of our young QB.

I’m not disappointed or discouraged either. Sanchez likes to freestyle a lot and rarely plays with good technique. He’s got all the physical ability and the moxie to be a good QB in the NFL. He may put all the mental preparation and do all the studying in the world but at the end of the day his fundamentals from a QB standpoint can be atrocious at times. Most obvious of all is his footwork, I think we can all sit on our couches and notice that Sanchez’s footwork is not good. You always hear analysts on television talk about the feet having to match the arm when they talk about QBs in general. You always want to make sure your technique is perfect all the time because when push comes to shove you’re always going to revert to what you know. We’ve all seen Sanchez do that stupid little back pedal retreating 6,7,8 yards away from the line of scrimmage, trying to hide the ball behind his back. What do all the good QBs do? They all step up in the pocket, eyes down the field with both hands on the ball. I’m not discouraged however because the first thing Sparano said he was going to do with Sanchez when he got here was work on fundamentals, footwork being one of them. Now hopefully we get a QB coach to come drill him up on that stuff.

Sanchez is not a franchise QB. He will never be an elite QB, and I doubt he will even be a Super Bowl winning QB. At best he is a journeyman starter. That being said, he is not worth the salary he is slated to be paid next year. His contract was renegotiated once already to make room for Revis before the 2010 season. The only way it can be done again realistically, given he only has two years left, is with an extension, which is not going to happen nor should it happen.

No matter what we add in the off season, this team is not winning a Super Bowl in 2012-2013. They are too many holes to fill and right now, before we add in the expiring contracts, we only have $8 million in cap space. We’ve only drafted 23 players the last five years – worst in the NFL – and we are a slow team. We tried to plug some holes with some big name FA’s to win now, but that has not worked. That’s the cold hard truth.

I think we need to trade Keller and Sanchez for more picks and to free up cap space. If we can’t trade Sanchez then dump him and save the cap space. I’m not afraid he’s ever going to another team and will make us look like idiots in the future. Despite Mariucci and other talking heads, there are way too many scouts, other executives and talent evaluators who think he will be at best middle of the road. Sign an Orton or someone else to get us through for a year or two, and use the draft to build a solid core, then use FA next year or the year after to make the run. If the goal is not just to win now, but to build an organization that can be continuously good, even with less than first round talent everywhere like the Steelers, Patriots, and Giants, then that is the only way to go. Keeping Sanchez for two more years is going to get us nothing, and there may be somebody on another team that thinks they can make him into something we couldn’t, and will give up some draft picks in return. If i thought we were going to win a championship this coming season by adding a few parts, I would not be advocating this approach. But, looking at the talent in the AFC, we are at least two solid drafts away from getting there, and being able to maintain a high level of play for a few seasons.

Not to mention a coach who has already proven he can win a Super Bowl, not just talk about it. I have a lot of Giant fans as friends who thought as you did, and I told them they were going to at least win the division before the pre-season, because of their coaching and their depth. San Francisco drafted a lot of talented players over the last few years, and their missing piece was coaching. Just look at the number of pro bowl players they have on their team, and will have for years to come, then go down our roster. Unlike Mr T. I don’t see any Victor Cruz’s hiding in the shower. It’s even more laughable because he fell so in love with Ducasse at UMass he missed the best player they had. We have 5 or 6 top flight players at best – players that can potentially make the Pro Bowl every year. We need to build on that and the way to do that is through the draft. The way to build through the draft is to hoard and acquire draft picks, and use the ones you have wisely in a plan. Someone is doing a series on the Jet’s drafts under Tanny on this site. To me, that is the biggest failing – what is our draft philosophy? Do we draft for need? Do we draft the best player available? No, we try to make a splash and grab a couple of marquee prospects and then plug the holes with whatever we can find. That’s not going to set you up for one of those “miracle” turnarounds.

I didn’t say everything we did was pointless – the team has a better percentage of hits in their 23 picks than most other teams, even the Patriots, especially over the last 3 years. Yet there is a core foundation and philosophy in place that when you get that top flight talent – wherever you find him in the draft, like a Gronkowski – there is enough other talent around him to make that big move. One big talent addition is not going to move this team over the top. We need to get there.

the “fans” who have given up on Sanchez already and who seem like they are rooting for further failure to prove their preconceptions right.

I’ll be the first to admit that the jury is out on Sanchez. Depending on your metrics, Sanchez had a mediocre to very poor season. But the past is the past. What matters is the future. And — thank God! — players can improve.

It isn’t about giving Sanchez a “pass”. It is about recognizing that when you are trying to run a football team, it doesn’t make sense to wish for unicorns. You need to deal with reality. And the reality is this: Nobody is going to hand the Jets an elite QB on a silver platter with a bow on top.

The Jets have invested so much time and money into Sanchez that, right now, it makes no sense to give up on him.

What makes this whole discussion so insane is that the other QB in NY is living proof that you can’t give up on a QB just because he hasn’t put up elite numbers in his first 3 years. Even last year, Eli — in his 7th season! — was getting still getting blasted for poor judgment and throwing picks.

Do people not think that the Giants would have loved for Eli to have played as well as he played this year from his third season on? That is not how life works.

My attitude has generally been that you should look to see what an athlete can do at his best and then it is up to the coaches to develop consistency. At his best, Sanchez has proven to be better than a journeyman QB. Before I give up on him, I want to see the coaches working on those consistency issues.

to call a Rich Gannon or a Steve Mariucci or, even friggin Troy Aikman. PLEASE, call SOMEONE TO HELP because it’s been obvious (at least to ME) that even your glory days at USC were a sham.

EXACTLY, THIS SHIT MEANS NOTHIN
