Dude, if you want to make this about Tebow, I'll happily oblige. last I checked, Tebow has 16 farking NFL starts under his belt, and ZERO offseasons as the #1, taking the majority of the first team snaps. yes, anyone with a more than an elementary school knowledge of football would cut him more slack.

He's had a constant shift of talent at RB and WR going back the last 2 years, that will cause a QB a lot of problems, chemistry and timing is always an issue, QB and offensive skill players are not completely on the same page.

This kind of thing happens to a large number of QBs in the NFL and they don't suck as badly as Sanchez does because of it. Hell, look at all the rookies and 2nd year players who are playing much better than Sanchez right now.

I remember watching the Miami game and people went on about how Sanchez had to throw the ball so much, that you couldn't be successful putting the game on his shoulders. I then watched a freaking rookie, Andrew Luck, with an interim coach and a team in the midst of a total rebuild, throw 48 passes for 433 yards against the Phins to win the game.

Your last line is comically ignorant, so you think Sanchez just throws an interception because he feels like it? Nothing to do with poor pass protection, trying to make a play, being out of sync with a receiver on a particular route, or even a new offense and having to play with players rotating in and out of the line-up, off the couch, and off the injury list?

We are 8 games into the season, well past the time to be crying about adjusting to a new offense. Guess what ? A bunch of QBs are working in new offenses this year and they aren't sucking like Sanchez has. All the Rookie starters are in a new offense of course. All teams with new offensive coordinators are as well, like Big Ben in Pittsburgh.

As for poor pass protection, Median NFL sacks is 18, Sanchez has only been sacked 19 times. Let's dig down into the numbers a bit further and look at sack %, which is the number of sacks / number of pass attempts + number of sacks. Sanchez gets sacked at a rate of 6.46%, which is 13th worst in the NFL, but guess what's awfully funny about the 12 QBs with higher sack %'s ? They ALL have better passer ratings.

Thing is, you can do this for every variable/reason you care to list. In every case, Sanchez is amongst the worst.

And your answer to Sanchez' problems is play Tebow, we know, because his numbers are just so much better as a starter last year than Sanchez.

Tell you what. You and others who talk about how good Sanchez was in 2009 and how he led the Jets to the AFC Championship would be shocked to find that Tebow's stats from his first 16 starts are comparable to, and in many cases, better than, the stats that Sanchez put up in 2009.

I'm at the point where I'm definitely fine with seeing if Tebow has improved from last year, seeing as how Sanchez hasn't shown any farking improvement.

If he hasn't, then take him out and put McElroy in. See what he can do.
