Sanchez: Where did the train jump off the tracks?

From the rookie season color code system to the perpetual ball security issues, it's been proven time and time again that the NFL game is simply too fast and complicated for him. His entire career has been mired in inconsistency because he's inaccurate, he doesn't see the field well, and his general awareness is very poor.

Sanchez peaked too early, and he never came close to hitting his ceiling.

Agree 100%. Low QB comprehension.
SAR you are pitiful, give it up, he's a bum. He simply is being eaten alive in NY. The proof was on the field sunday when GMAC walked it down the to score (what , could have been 2x) so why is that again? Oh yeah, it was the running backs and the O-line, you know the ones you say are so bad, maybe it was the bad coaching that improved the play for GMAC? Or maybe it was because MS is a bad QB? He is done here.

Also, some of the interceptions have been unforced, and his pocket awareness has declined precipitously. He looks scared back there, seems to have lost his ability to step away from pressure.

Perhaps the Jets molded him into these traits, but they are still his traits.

Which is it? Is he scared, or careless?

Coaches can't teach accuracy!
This & this alone is the #1 culprit with Sanchez

When you blow easy 3rd down throws & punt it changes the entire dynamic of the game.
Coaches talk constantly about "moving the chains".
3rd down conversions allow rhythm in the offense & let's the defense rest.

Way too many 3 & outs in Marks career.
Stick a fork in him he's not a pro QB.

I tried something similar on a sales pitch, didn't go over so well.

Hey, my services might suck today but I used to kick-a$s. Honest, you can go ask my old clients.

For me, the Ngata annihilation began the downward spiral.

I think from day one, they wanted a high profile exciting pick and package to sell seats and disregarded the lack of experience etc. They accomplished their goal they win, we lose. I still have not given up entirely for me he has this year if he gets it, and next year to get it going.

THIS.

His decision-making seems to have deteriorated to the point of panic mode.

Both, at different times. Depends on what's happening on the particular play. Careless about how he protects the football. Scared about the pass rush.

Who are the great players on the Packers offense? The Saints? The Colts? The Redskins? The Steelers? Was Wes Welker that good on Miami? Do you think Gronkowski puts up huge numbers with Sanchez?

At some point you need to recognize that some players aren't good enough. Mark Sanchez never had what it took to succeed. No more excuses for this fraud. He has no accuracy, is soft and isn't smart enough on the field.

Great post. This is all that needs to be said.

Yup. He has never looked the same since.

I felt bad for him that game. Hell, I was sore after watching that debacle..

LOL. Right?

Watch Mark come off the field. Nice work by Slausen, BTW.

First I want to say that McElroy should start because the team seems to respond to the MS benching (Im a Jets fans first). With that said IMO the organization ruined Sanchez.
This is not the same Sanchez from years past. He cant seem to elude the rush as he did before, while pointing to spots for his WR’s to go to trying to make plays. It seems if there is no one open, or the rush is extreme (happens often) just lay down and try not to make a play to avoid turnovers. Blame coaching.
Another thing, how do we go from being the number 1 red zone offense in scoring TD’s last year with MARK SANCHEZ!! (not sure if fact), to… I get nervous when we are near the end zone and hope Sanchez doesn’t fark it up. How??? Blame GM, play calling etc.
When you watch the other teams play you can see the athleticism in their skill players ( Cruz, Nicks for example), guys who can take it to the house on any singly play. I have seen Kerley get caught from behind at least twice when I thought he was going to take it to the end zone, in which one drive resulted in a pic in the end zone later. Gate, Schillens (droped another nice pass to get us in the red zone in the last game), Kerley and Hill… I want to see McElroy lead us with these guys next year (sarc).

Good post.
I disagree though.....i think Kerley, Hill, are a very good start at the WR corps. Actually, I think Kerley is a VERY good player, underutilized.

Santonio Holmes is being paid to be that #1 threat, and hes just not. Not blaming him, but the contract he has locked up really prohibits the team from going out and signing a legitimate #1 target.

Holmes is taking the $$$ to be the #1 WR, and hes just not that guy. Nevr has been.

I agree with this. There is no reason why a team built on defense can't hold a lead or help the team win ugly. The 2010 championship game is a perfect example. It should have been a low scoring game with lots of 3 and out for both teams against two extremely tough defenses, instead we get blown out in the first half because our offense gets stopped and theirs runs all over us. In addition the defense couldn't get off the field to give the offense one more chance at the end of the game.

2009, Jets have Cotch, and Chansi Stuckey as the starting WR's. Tanny makes deal dor Braylon Edwards

2010 Tanny trades 5th round draft pick for Santonio Holmes~~Brings in HOF RB Ladanian Tomlinson to sure up backfield

Not too sure Sanchez was ignored

[jetsfan1983]

I think people always to try complicate things...

He's just not a very good QB. We made the championship games despite him, much like Frisco did last year.

It sucks, but when it comes to the draft it happens. You move on.

he never was, and never will be, an accurate qb. and he doesn't protect the ball. the jets didn't see these issues at usc b/c 1) he rarely had to fit the ball into tight windows and 2) he wasn't get hit so much so the fumblitis wasn't evident.

I am so tired of this "we are built on having a good defense and dont have one". Are there teams out there that said "lets forget the defense"? No there arent.

Here is a list of the Giants picks since they got Eli

2004 Eli Manning
2005 Corey Webster (2nd Round) CB LSU
2006 Mathias Kiwanuka DE Boston College
2007 Aaron Ross CB Texas
2008 Kenny Phillips S Miami
2009 Hakeem Nicks WR North Carolina
2010 Jason Pierre-Paul DE South Florida
2011 Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska
2012 David Wilson

If you notice, in the 8 years since they drafted their Qb they took 2 offensive players in the first round. If you also notice, there are some "busts" in there like aaron ross, yet somehow they managed to win 2 super bowls.

Great QBs make average teams great. QBs like mark sanchez make average teams terrible

Fail.

+ The terrible personnel decisions by Rex and Tanny all contributed to the demise of the team. When Sanchez was throwing to Braylon, Santonio, Cotchery and Keller he looked ok. The OL deteriorated under Rex's tenure also.

= REX is a bad coach who inherited good personnel from the Mangini era and proceeded to run the team and Sanchez into the turf. IMO the owner should
fire Rex and relegate Tanny to cap/ legal issues and get top Personnel people to run this thing.
