I love discussing NBA/NFL so don’t mind the long post :lol
I will 100% agree with you on his completion percentage and turnovers. But that’s not what I said. I said, when he has to, he has made MANY big plays and had MANY good drives to win ball games. Especially in the playoffs. BUT, he also had a good offensive arsenal to work with, an all-pro offensive line, etc.
You realize that most of his mistakes are caused by being forced to release the ball QUICK thanks to the porous offensive line. Right? Not to mention the blindside sacks which usually = fumbles (for example the Baltimore game last year where he was raped, quite literally). Those mistakes are only 50% Sanchez. You think Tom Brady (who is NOTORIOUS for falling apart if the defense is pounding him all game) would do any better? May QB’s like Big Ben who don’t mind getting hit would, but most QB’s wouldn’t do so well either if they were getting pressured THAT much THAT fast.
By all means, I would LOVE to have another QB in there…but all the fans who are clamoring for Tebow right now or are saying the Jets issues are 100% because of Sanchez are complete and utter idiots.
The JETS are terrible. Sanchez hasn’t been doing great, but the issues are on BOTH sides of the ball…not just with his arm. His arm isn’t even CLOSE to being THE main problem. He has NO run support to help out with the play action, etc.
Also, here’s Sanchez’ playoff numbers:
2009 -
vs CIN - 12/15 for 182, 80%, 12yd avg, 1 TD, 97 QBR, 139 RAT
vs SD - 12/23 for 100, 52%, 4.5 avg, 1 TD 1 INT, 47 QBR, 60 RAT
vs IND - 17/30 for 257, 57%, 8.57 avg, 2 TD 1 INT, 77 QBR, 93.3 RAT
2010 -
vs IND - 18/31 for 189, 58%, 6.10 avg, 0 TD 1 INT, 57.5 QBR, 62.4 RAT
vs NE - 16/25 for 194, 64%, 7.76 avg, 3 TD, 88.8 QBR, 127.3 RAT
vs PIT - 20/33 for 233, 60%, 7 avg, 2 TD, 56 QBR, 102.2 RAT
Aside from the SD and 2nd IND game…he hasn’t been all that bad.
So…if we look at this playoffs numbers (which is the only thing I care about - playoffs wins > regular season glory), I’d say he’s done pretty well:
Total - 95/157 for 1155 yards, 62% completion, 7.7 yards per play, 9 TD, 3 INT with an average 97 Rating.
That’s not even CLOSE to being a ‘horrible’/‘lucky’ stat line. Not even close.
So, to sum it up…Mike Tannebaum needs to be fired for giving Sanchez such a crappy ‘canvas’ to work with. On both sides of the ball. I can’t fault to defense too much though…since the offense can’t stay on the field…the defense gets tired out by the beginning of half time :lol.
As for the Niners/Texans…I don’t think you got what I meant? You put Sanchez on those teams and they’d be pretty damn good. Maybe not AS good as those QB’s are better than Sanchez…but they’d still be deep playoff favorites.
And I definitely think the Jets will get BLOWN OUT by Houston. Not arguing that. Jets should just lose every game and get a high draft pick.
