Look at the number of game winning/4th qtr comeback drives in 2010. That's elite territory.
Look up the same stats for Aaron Rogers, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning. Of those three, only Manning ever put up more in a single season.
And it wasn't the Jets just running it. Sanchez was hitting big throws in many of those games. It wasn't an accident that many Jets fans got on the bandwagon. And we weren't alone. A lot of NFL commentators saw the same thing. |
Lets look at some other QB numbers from the 2010 season and how Sanchez ranked among his peers.

30 Jimmy Clausen
31 Derek Anderson
26th in yards per attempt 6.49 yards
23 Matt Hasselbeck
24 Chad Henne
25 Kerry Collins
26 Mark Sanchez
27 Matt Ryan

Besides the 4th quarter comeback statistic, by any other metric Sanchez wasn't even an average staring QB in 2010 despite the talent surrounding him.
