Whether you think he is pretty damn good is irrelevant. That concluding, subjective statement pretty much sums up your poor attempt at drawing a logical conclusion regarding Mark Sanchez.

So here are “objective” facts.
-He’s drafted in the 1st round.
1st Round players are “expected” to be impact players not “developing” players.
-He was rated as a top 2 qb in the 2009 draft.
-His first 2 yr NFL stats are “average” at best.
Don’t give me that 1 game stats B.S. either, you have to be “consistent”.
Last I checked, football is a team game, and it was the “Jets” who went to the AFC Champ game, not “Sanchez”.
-He was dubbed “Sanchize”

You all need to look up the definition of overrated, because you all apparently do not know what it means.

I find it hard to believe that anyone that has actually watched him play last season could say he is overrated.

Lets take Ben Rapelisburger for example. He is not a statistically a great QB by any means yet every Steelers fan will tell you how clutch he is and how amazing and great he is when they need him, fair enough, despite me severly disliking him, he is good at the end of a football game. But has Sanchez not been a 4th quarter QB and clutch under pressure??? The throw to Braylon Edwards leading to the Holmes TD grab at the end of the Houston game last year was as good as any deep ball I have ever seen in my life.

The 4th quarter comebacks he has orchestrated in his young career and the growth in his sophmore season alone should be enough to prove that he is a legit 4th quarter starter that I am proud to call a New York Jet.

I could go on and on but in conclusion, to say that he is “horrible” and “overrated” is a comment left because you a) hate the Jets, b) dislike him because of the success of the team over the past 2 seasons, c) hate Rex Ryan, or d) all of the above. If you honestly believe that he is untalented and underrated, perhaps you should stick to watching another sport because you clearly don’t understand football.

Only QB in history to appear in back-to-back AFC Championship games in his first 2 years, and already holds the record for road playoff wins. Granted, Sanchez doesn’t appear to be the best “west coast” QB, but he just seems to fit into the Jets system.

He’s still a kid. He’s got a great resume and a winning record. What else do you want?

I can also tell you exactly where he’s officially rated ….. the lowest QB rating in the entire AFC for any starting qb. Hard to argue a legit starting NFL qb’s merits with that embarrassing stain. Sanchez be a career backup in 2-3 years.

you’ve never heard ANYONE overrate Sanchez??? … Have you ever listened to or read ANY of the new york media or Jets PR statements … ummm, they have dubbed him “The Sanchize” …. i mean, c’mon now, the guy was clearly brought in for Hollywood image reasons and the Jets bought into his pre-draft hype, and are now realizing that any other qb in the afc may have given them just as good, if not a better shot, to actually get to the Super Bowl with that much talent. But again, they fell short

Someone could be consider overrated if they do not do what you what want or expect and some could be considered underrated if they did something you never expected and that shock you.
