League Source: Jets Unsure If Sanchez Their Guy

[RJTurneR]

A league source told ProFootballTalk.com on Sunday that the Jets are beginning to realize that Sanchez, whom the team drafted with its first-round pick in 2009, might not be their guy.

I could see this coming sooner or later. I've never liked him as a QB, only as a person, some of you may know I've slammed Sanchez numorous times on here.

Saturdays performance was horrible. Not throwing the ball away before the sack in the end zone, and then throwing the costly INT at the end. Not the first time his done it, nor will it be his last.

Sanchez needs to prove himself once and for all, right now.

For a top 5 pick, Sanchez has underperformed. He really hasn't drastically improved as a passer, and that's considering the league being set up for QBs to succeed now more than ever. I still say he gets one more year, but wouldn't be surprised if the Jets look for a QB in the draft or go out to look for a better QB to put pressure on him.

Just off the top of my head, Jason Campbell would be a guy who could come in and succeed given their personnel on offense, and is still relatively young. Campbell probably wouldn't be the 'franchise QB' in NY, but could start for a few years until they find the franchise QB if Sanchez isn't it and would likely be an upgrade over Sanchez given their career numbers.

How could Jason Cambell be the answer if Sanchez is not the answer?

Sanchez has gotten statistically better every season. It would be foolish to move on so quickly. Hes a 3 year pro quarterback that started from the get go. He has no significant weapons on offense what so ever. Holmes is a joke and a half.

Idk his stats may have improved but when I see him play I see no improvements really in fact I see regression at times.

Campbell has a better completion percentage, better TD-INT ratio, and better QB rating for his career than Sanchez. Granted he's got 3 years more experience as a starter. Orton or Cassel could also be available depending on who KC decides to stick with. Alex Smith could be available if SF lets him go. I'm not saying they should definitely replace Sanchez, but they could be brought in to put pressure on him to perform and would certainly be an upgrade over Brunell.

He's had one of the best running games in the league, a serviceable tight end in Keller...sure he could have better receivers, but not every QB's going to have great receivers to work with. He's got decent enough receivers and has had decent enough receivers. He still hasn't performed up to the expectation of a top 5 pick. Do I think he should be cut? No. But it's not unimaginable that the team could be frustrated by his relative lack of progress all things considered.

All I can say is this is his 3rd year in the league and he is getting better. I dont see any reason to abandon ship so soon.

Re: League Source: Jets Unsure If Sanchez Their Guy

This is how this league is. They want to see immediate performance and progression. I nevered like Sanchez as a QB(wanted him to stay another year at USC). But, I think he should get at least 1 year before they draft/sign a QB. This year and next year will both have good qb classes. I see Sanchez as of right now as nothing more than a Game Manager.
Just like if anyone would want Rex to be on hot seat. He has been to AFC championship twice. It would be one thing if they had a losing season.

If the Colts get Luck the Jets should look into trading for Peyton. That team would be an instant Super Bowl favorite with him. And they have the pieces the Colts have been missing for years.

Not that I want to see that happen. But if the Colts windup with the #1 pick and draft Luck I think it's inevitable Peyton will be traded at some point. It's too soon to be looking for Peyton's replacement if he's healthy, especially a #1 overall guy. But that's beyond the topic.

Re: League Source: Jets Unsure If Sanchez Their Guy

Trading Peyton would be a travesty.

Re: League Source: Jets Unsure If Sanchez Their Guy

Sanchez is nothing but a crutch to the Jets. 3rd year in the league and he is still only completing around 55% of his passes. That's just bad quarterbacking. If the Jets had a decent starting QB then atleast 1 of Rex's many Superbowl predictions would have came true by now.

Can't believe it took them this long to figure it out.

Re: League Source: Jets Unsure If Sanchez Their Guy

People jump the gun on these guys so quick it's ridiculous.

Sanchez has looked really bad, and he's looked really good at times too. I mean, I guess you can upgrade, but you could also downgrade or stay the same too.

Everyone expects every QB to be Manning/Brady/Rodgers/Brees, and when they aren't, they're looking for the next guy. There's only about those 4 guys who are going to look good 13 or 14 games a year. The other QB's, they get about 9, 10, 11 good games, and their teams typically win accordingly.

I say yeah, take a look, send out some feelers. But to completely abandon Sanchez? Seems foolish to me. Suddenly all the scouting of he can make all the throws, he has that moxie, blah blah blah all the other scouting BS they throw around at draft time has gone away? It's a results league but still. You need time. Really, Sanchez should just be starting to get it now after his 3rd year. No one wants to put that work in or have to go through those bumps, especially a team seemingly as loaded as the Jets. But your chances of having Sanchez develop are probably better then picking some raw QB out of the draft, especially if you're not picking Top 5 or Top 10, which the Jets won't be.

Re: League Source: Jets Unsure If Sanchez Their Guy

Maybe it has to do with the other QBs in his class. Freeman had a great year last year and Stafford has had a monster year this year. Sanchez completion percentage is terrible. It's not like he has no weapons like Bradford either. He's got Holmes, Keller, Burress and a pretty decent run game. On top of that, he has a good defense behind him. It just looks like he won't ever be worth the top 5 pick.

As far as the getting better each year, it's not a significant increase. Yes, they are increases across the board, but you probably aren't winning a Superbowl with a 56% completion percentage in this day and age. Usually around the 3rd year a QB will begin to show what his future potential will be, and unless he has a massive breakout, he's nothing more than mediocre.

So, do you go after a QB in the draft? Probably not, but bringing in an Orton or a Campbell to light a fire under his arse is probably a good idea.

I dont think sanchez is a bad qb, hes just not who the jets need him to be right now. For that team to be as good as Rex Ryan thinks they are they need an elite qb that can make up for some of the mistakes the make ala Big Ben, Brady, Rodgers...etc . Its kind of a ****ty situation for sanchez because the NY fans and media are gonna eat him alive if hes not winning. Bottom line is the Jets are really inconsistant as a whole. They have a bunch of talent but they just havent come together yet.
