Sanchez starting was the right move?

He has a great offensive line, a pass catching TE, a solid running game, and two above-average receivers in Cotch and Edwards. That usually spells success for just about any QB, especially one drafted so high.

Put Chad Henne on that team and the Jets are a 3 seed in the playoffs.

 

I can't say it was a bad decision mainly b/c they didn't have any other options. If they'd had a Pennington there it would be different, but they had no vet of consequence.

No matter what Sanchez was going to struggle. He is a guy with little starting experience, even in college. I actually think the Jets have done well to achieve the record they have. But there was no different starter they could have put in and improved that record.

 

Good thing they traded up for him.

 

He really does have a great team around him. A top defense, a plethora of weapons available to him, a good running game and still fails that miserably? If they had acquired a veteran quarterback that team would be quite good, quite good. Daunte Culpepper could have led that team to the playoffs. Trent Dilfer could have done it. Sanchez has been putrid except against Miami. About the only thing that team truly lacks is a great pass rush. If Gholston had turned it would have been trouble.

 

With the #1 defense in all of football though? Comon now. He should be able to handle that. Give Henne that defense and he is undefeated.

 

I agree Henne in the same spot we would not have swept them.

 

Yes... it was the right move. Experience is what makes QBs.

Nonesense.
Do you realize the failure rate incrued with sending a rookie immediately into the fire?
If he had less talent around him, the NY papers would already have burried him.
Of course, even if he didn't suck so bad, his failure rate would still be astronomical
