League Source: Jets Unsure If Sanchez Their Guy

[RJTurneR]

Quote:

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.

It must suck playing in NY.

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.

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.
