Well, I will agree with RHT that Sanchez isn't much of an NFL quarterback. Is he the worst starter in the league? I know at least the 2010 version of Chad Henne would beg to differ with that assessment. That being said, Sanchez at this point in his career is easily one of the five worst performing starters in the league, though as ateam said earlier in this thread, he's not the Jets only problem on offense.

Sorry, I forgot Carson Palmer. He makes Sanchise look like Joe Namath.

Their problem is the entire offense. It's been the same problem for 6 years now. They have a horrible offensive coordinator, who is a terrible play caller. Sanchez has been bad recently and appears to me to be playing scared. But weeks 2-10 he played pretty good. Not Tom Brady good, but good enough. The running game has been hurting for weeks and if they can't run, they can't score.

Sanchez also has gotten little to no help from his receivers. The difference in the game yesterday is Santonio Holmes dropping a TD pass when there wasn't a defender within 5 yards of him. Cotchery dropped a ball late in the game and Braylon Edwards has had his fair share of drops. Dustin Keller is non existant.

He's not one of the top 5 worst perfoming starters. Not even close.

Seriously? Sanchez has had two bad games and now there are 25 QBs in the NFL who are better than him? Come on, that's lunacy.

Sanchez is the 2nd best QB in his division. If you based it on current starters (even injured ones) here's what you have:

Vick (*)
E. Manning (*)
McNabb
Romo
Rodgers (*)
Favre
Cutler
Stafford
Ryan (*)
Freeman (*)
Brees (*)
Claussen
Bradford
A. Smith
Hasselbeck
Anderson
Brady (*)
Sanchez
Henne
Fitzpatrick
Delhomme
Palmer
Roethlisberger (*)
Flacco
Schaub (*)
P. Manning (*)
Garrard
Collins/Young
Rivers (*)
Cassel
Orton
Campbell

There's absolutely no way you're taking 26 of those guys over Mark Sanchez. I put asterisks next to the ones I would take over Sanchez and came up with 11. Freeman is the only shot in the dark, but I think he's solid and has a bright future.

You guys are crazy. Fifth worst rating in the friggin' league. No way he's the 12th best quarterback in the league. Zero chance at that.

And second best quarterback in the division? If you had a pick and needed to a win a single game with a single quarterback, do you take Sanchez or Fitzpatrick? Serious question. I know who I would pick, and he doesn't currently suit up for Gang Green.

You said he was the 5th worst QB in the league and present QB ratings as your proof....and we're crazy?

Good luck with that one. Matt Cassel has a higher QB rating than Big Ben, drew Brees, Schaub, Flacco, both Mannings, Cutler, Matt Ryan. He must be better than them. It's all about those QB ratings.

It's not the be-all and end-all, but it certainly means something, does it not? There is a middle ground to an argument, no?

And Eli Manning stinks. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

Sorry, had to re-read this and got a further chuckle. I don't mean to belabor this point, but what has he done in his career that's better than, say, Jason Campbell? Honest question. And there's not a single scout in the league who would take Sanchez over his two 2009 first round draft mates (Stafford when healthy, Freeman). Cassel has GROSSLY outplayed Sanchez this year - that's not even debateable. McNabb's a HOF-er. Favre is 2,903 years old, but based on the way T-Jack played last week (INT's and all), he's still close to Sanchez. Romo's better, not even close. I hate Cutler's ass face, but the guy at least has some talent. You lost me on Bradford - he's the offensive rookie of the year - and has looked pretty good, yesterday excepted.

Aside from that, there are some pretty awful quarterbacks starting right now in the league. Excellent points.

The irony of asking who you'd take if you had to win one game then saying you'd choose a QB whose career win percentage is .400 is not lost on me.

Sanchez played poorly yesterday, and the week before. I've never disputed that. But you're dealing with a QB who just made his 28th regular season start and suddenly determining that he has no future in the NFL. Gone are the memories of the game he played against NE in Week 2 or the comeback wins against Detroit, Cleveland, and Houston.

You can't make proclamations on who's good or who's bad by QB ratings and raw stats. I understand you're a Lions fan but I can't see how more than 5-6 GMs in the NFL would take Stafford right now. The guy could separate his shoulder sneezing.

The issue is that Sanchez had a lousy rookie year and knee-jerkers like Tubby Guidohair jumped to the conclusion that he sucks, ignoring factors like age and lack of experience. In the early part of the year, his play made these people reconsider their ironclad opinions, which they don't like doing. Now that he's had a couple of shitty games, they can safely go back to the premature writing him off mode.

The bottom line is he sure as hell has improved from last year to this year but he still has a lot more improving to do, namely in inclement weather games. I don't care what you think of his play thus far, but if you're closing the book on him less than two seasons into his career when he only had 16 college starts, I humbly suggest that you're a moron who doesn't understand the position.
