Mark Sanchez - Misplay of the decade

I was just looking at the 2009 Draft. The Jets really should have obstained from drafting a QB. Stafford went first so they weren't going to get him. After Stafford, Josh Freeman is the 2nd best.

I still don't know what to think of Freeman. I follow the Bucs and for a stretch this season I thought he had finally come into his own however he has regressed again the last 3 games.

After that (besides Sanchez) there are a bunch of guys who are probably not on rosters now. It was a horrible year to go after a QB.

Also look at the history of USC QBs. One can name bust after another. Carson Palmer has had the greatest NFL career out of any USC QB in their history. That isn't saying much.

This was a draft where they could have had Cushing, Brian Orakpo, Clay Matthews, Percy Harvin and quite a few others.

One thing I also noticed is how strong the Texans are drafting. In looking at the 2009 draft the Texans drafted ...

Cushing
Barwin
Caldwell
Glover Quin
Anthony Hill
James Casey
Brice McCain
Troy Nolan

Besides Anthony Hill the rest of those guys are still on the roster and being used frequently. That's says a lot about their drafting.

This is why the Texans are 12-2 and the Jets are under .500

Just asking the question, after a season like this is he salvageable? I mean, David Carr is still in the NFL so anything can happen right? If he can be salvaged then what would need to happen at this point?

if salvageable is holding a clipboard, then certainly. i had very low expectations of sanchez coming out of college and he's pretty much right there - he's just not that good and this season has crippled his psyche. i do think however, that he's better than he's shown the past couple of years. the circus in new york (both media and the team) has given him almost no opportunity to succeed. if sanchez were to go to a team with less scrutiny and someone who at least resembles an offensive coach, he might be able to crack into a starting job, but more likely is destined to continue following his USC mate matt leinart.

I think there may be 3 or 4 coaches in the league that have the capabilities to coach up a Sanchez/Leinart type. I'd put Kubiak at the top of that list. But I don't want to see Mark here.
 
But but any QB can thrive in the Texans offense.

Sanchez is a whole lot more mobile.
He can make throw on the run.

Let's trade Schaub and a first for Sanchez.:kitten::gamer:
 
Two things.

1) When Sanchez declared for the draft, Pete Carroll, his coach at USC at the time, came out and said point-blank that he didn't think Sanchez was ready.

2) Sanchez's first big, massive mistake was going "Hollywood" the minute he stepped in New York City. He was on magazine covers, doing photo shoots, and in general getting into the media game. That's all he cared about. Being an athlete in New York is no joke. You have to be focused, or you have to be grounded, and a little bit boring, ala Eli Manning. If you're not, you'll get caught up in the glitz of NYC and crash and burn, ESPECIALLY as a QB.

Whew! This is still so freaking hilarious. Sanchez makes it worse with the "Oh, noes!" face plant at the end. I almost feel guilty getting so much laughter out of one guy's misfortune. Then I remember Rex Ryan.

I second that...I could not believe what I was watching when it actually happened. I didn't think much of it until the Slo-Mo replay, and then it hit me.

I've never laughed so hard in my laugh. Truly, this would have made Wide World of Sports "Agony of Defeat" intro if it was still around.

wrong way was a thing of beauty, and leon lett was a masterpiece as well.

i dont think anything tops buttfumble though. it had everything. so many fails in one play, plus being a division rival in a national game. perfect.

although i did laugh as hard at a play once before, maybe you older oiler fans can help me out - assuming my memory hasnt distorted it. late 80's or early 90's we had a DT pick up a fumble at the goalline and return it to the other side of the field in the slowest return ever. i want to say it was doug smith 99, or it might've been a jones.

If he's cut by the Jets i can see high demand. I don't see him in high demand as trade bait with his $13.5M/yr contract for three more years. It's about value as well as skill. The contract is an albatross around his neck.

If he's cut, why would another team be saddled with the Jet's contract?
