Long term, I expect the Jets to be drafting a first round QB within the next two years and probably after cleaning house. Sanchez is clearly a below average QB in the NFL and has a 72 career QB rating to show for it.

To say that the QB position between these two teams is a push is ludicrous. You might possibly be the only person on the internet (outside of NYC and Gainsville) who seems to think they are evenly matched. We're talking about a 35 point QB rating difference between the starters alone, and you think that's a push. Thanks for the laughs.

Dutch..... His opinion is the equivalent to Tebow throwing the ball. Terrible! I respect his hustle, but his talent evaluation stinks. I can't sugar coat it any more than that. His reasoning that the Jets Qbs have won playoff games means that they're on the same level may be the single most idiotic thing I've ever seen from anyone. So because Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer won Super Bowls does that mean that they're better than Dan Marino? His logic sucks..... There really isn't any way around saying that.

OMG, I just realized how really scarey Tebow can be. Preseason, he had a 26.5 QB rating. During the regular season, he has earned a rating that shadows even Schaub.......an amazing 104.2! I didn't realize the kind of force we may be up against if Ryan puts him in. http://www.nfl.com/player/timtebow/4...gs?season=2012

You can't blame all of the Jets' offensive problems on Sanchez. As the QB he is going to get blamed. They have no run game, no o line and are now devoid of wide outs.

With that said, never in Sanchez's career has he been an accurate QB. His upside is limited at this point. It's still amazing to see the media slobber all over him though like he's the second coming of Namath.

He's a pretty boy .... the media likes to capitalize on that just as much as the league does his football ability.


I went to Kroger earlier today ... and see a lifesize cardboard cut out of the guy .... in Houston ?! WTF.

Your problem is a simple one, you went to Kroger, it's the largest national supermarket chain in the US. A true Texan would shop @ a Texas food chain like HEB, then you wouldn't encounter such rubbish.

Lol, you mean people are allowed to have differences of opinion?

Iirc, Namath was actually a rather poor QB who was really never the reason the Jets won games. He was more of the game manager type, so describing Sanchez as the second coming of Namath isn't all that far off, except he hasn't won a Super Bowl.

I never understood how Namath got into the Hall. I understand it was a different time yada yada but is there another HoF QB who threw more INT's than TD's much less 50 more INT's? (Bradshaw was +2 - only chance I came up with)

Because, it happened in NY a largest market place and got all the media attention needed for Namath to get into HOF. A big apple you know. Shhh (His got a piece of apple for sure)

Sanchez over Matt?? You lose all credibility there.

No kidding..

Rex Ryan would cut off his wife's feet if he could have Matt Schaub over Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow. Anybody who thinks that position is a push has no credibility regardless of how much football they may or may not have played.

Wait until we play Buffalo and he calls J.J. Watt & Mario Williams a push

Which would be much more understandable... A least Mario is a starting calibre DE. Sure he isn't worth the big money he s getting and he has injury and motivation problems, but he is a guy that would probably start on just about every NfL team.

Sanchez and Tebow so far are not really starting calibre players - lets say borderline starters, but that's being nice. Schaub is like 2 levels above them.

But remember ladies and germs, like all of us these are only opinions, except in Diggy's case he puts through the time, the effort, the research and the money to put a homegrown product out there. Why? Because he loves the game. Any other motives he has, like the number of clicks or what-have-you, is secondary to how he started off.

I'm just saying: give the guy a break a little, okay? I don't agree with everything he says; just like I don't agree with a lot of mindless homerism, either. Just take it for what it is. His vids should be fun...and they are.

Here's the thing, though. I respect someone putting in the time and effort to put these previews together, but when there is such a transparent effort to pander to both team's fans to drive clicks, the credibility of the source is diminished immensely.
I thought some of the reviews were decent last year, but this year, it is just so blatantly obvious that the writer is pandering to both crowds, and/or trying to hedge his bets about certain things so he can go back later and claim he predicted things correctly that I don't even click the links anymore.

So, his tactic of giving hand jobs to both fan bases has failed in my case.

Once upon a time, I clicked the links, but now I read a few comments on this board from members with opinions that I respect, and see that clicking the links would be a complete waste of my time.

That is actually a very good idea. I have never owned a bobble head, but I would pay a few bucks for one of those.
