Today the jets went down at home to the Bills in an ugly performance by the whole squad. I'd like to address Sanchez in particular. Although he did not single handedly lose the game, teams win and lose together, his performance with 5 INT's certainly was a major contributor. Imo this type of showing highlights the danger of starting a rookie QB in the nfl. The game is fast, schemes complex, mistakes costly. I think Sanchez will be a good QB for the jets in the future, he has the tools, but this was a mistake filled day for the kid.
Our new QB Chad Henne has looked good in his first two starts. I believe the year he spent with pennington will help him to avoid this type of game. Getting to spend a year holding that clipboard and learning the game from the sidelines and in the film room can be very valuable to a player, especially a QB. I have no complaints with his play so far, he has made strong accurate throws, good touch throws, and one nice long ball. Seeing him go through his progressions and decide to check down, instead of trying to force the ball in kept us in position to win that game last week. Here's to Henne avoiding this type of disasterous rookie game this season, and continuing to grow and improve as the leader of this team.

I've never been high on Sanchez (even before he became a Jet) I was thrilled when they traded to get him. He honestly seems to me like a guy whos ceiling is average at best. He has poor mechanics and average physical skills. I expect these types of games from him now and in the future. Though probably not that many INT's again.

sanchez threw 5 picks. he clearly lost the game all on his own.
There is a strong belief that sanchez works best outside of the pocket. If you force him to sit in the pocket and read a defense, he's going to struggle. Thats what happened today i believe, although i didn't watch the game, could be way off.djphinfan likes this. -
The past 3 weeks the Jets have sunk further and the Dolphins are climbing back up. We have a tough game against the Saints, however we're coming off a bye, it's outdoors in Miami, and we have a better run game and o-line then the Giants.

Young Qb's are rarely Flacco, Big Ben or Ryan, everyone would love to think that they are, but reality is, rookie/young Qb's make rookie/young Qb mistakes, throw in a rookie HC and the Nacho dealing with 40 degree weather and he was due for a bad performance. -

In Mark Sanchez's defense, Rex Ryan kept touching the football with his nacho cheese covered fingers, causing Sanchez's INTs. Ryan thought it would be good luck after last week.

Dirty Sanchez should have thrown two Picks against Miami. The picks Wilson & W Allen both dropped and on the Wilson pick there was a phantom Pass Interferance call. The refs almost caused the last game and I made Sanchez look great.

Rex said he thought about pulling Sanchez today... that is not good....

well I predicted Sanchez and Stafford would both be busts before the draft. Both have shown flashes of being able to be NFL QBs but they both have had really bad days. Still too early to say for sure which way it will turn out. I like Sanchez's ability to keep a play alive but I also see a QB that has scattershot accuracy and an average arm

Sanchez did not have his best performance-both teams appeared to not want to lose the game instead of trying to take controkl,it was a very windy day and the quatebacks had to battle the wind.

Sanchez=Ryan Leaf:shifty:
We can only hope:up: -
I wouldn't write em off yet. Afterall even Peyton started off with somewhere around 30 int's his rookie year (going off memory).

I think the most important thing us dolphin fans need to worry about is, hopefully Henne does not do what Sanchez did... I mean Sanchez did great his first 3 weeks and now look at how he is playing... I think we should not give Henne the next Marino title yet, but i do say Henne has a huge advantage over Sanchez, because his running game will bail him out a lot. something dolphins have that Jets don't, plus i honestly believe Henne is the better QB of the two

Isn't Sanchez spanish for interception? Someone help me out...

What I do not get is where the Jets fans are lauding him on his accuracy? Now do not get me wrong, Sanchez has made some tremendous NFL throws, especially with his ball placement. That does not make him accurate. If you look at his overall body of work, his accuracy is shotty at best. Combine his accuracy issues with his boneheaded mistakes, and you get games like the ones against the Saints and the Bills.
I think Sanchez will be good, unfortunately. What might kill him is the NY media and his mental makeup. How does he bounce back after those games? I also think he does not understand that he does not need to necessarily win the games for his team. Regardless how much we hate the Jets, they have a pretty good team. They should have won that game yesterday. I'm fanatical that they did not. They are in a precarious position right now. Do they fold under pressure (esp. Sanchez), or do they come out swinging like a caged animal?
It's gonna be an interesting year in the AFC East! -
i really DON'T see Henne having a day like that ...
1- because he is better
2- he has much more starting experience (college) in a big time program, and in lousy conditions
he very well may have a couple 2 INT games ... but 4 or 5 ... not gonna happen
Sanchez is drinking thru the firehouse ... Henne is not ...
