Trent Green backed us into the playoffs, not Huard. He also played like shit after his concussion.

Huard was at least game managing and making the throws when he had the time. Also, we rarely ever saw the fetal position in Huard's first year playing for the Chiefs. The way the team was clicking that year after Green was out, I'll bet Huard would have won at least ONE more game for this team. A 10-6 record would have resulted in not "backing in".

I also think we would have had a better shot at the Colts if we started Huard instead of Green in the playoffs. Then again, we also would have had a better chance if somebody shot Mike Solari in the face before the game. Such is life.

No they wouldn't. They wouldn't have gone to the AFC championship last year. They would have finished 4-12 and be in exactly the same situation they're in right now.

This is not a value judgement on either quarterback. It's not a statement that Sanchez is good or bad. It's not a statement that Cassel is better or worse than Sanchez. It's simply a statement that the 2009 Jets as a team were far and away better than the 2009 Chiefs. We did not have their defense. We did not have their running game. We would not have made the playoffs. Sanchez would not have had the opportunity to have the three great halves he had in the playoffs. Sanchez would not have had the "rookie playoff wins". In all likelihood, he would have started 2010 as a quarterback who had never at any point in 2009 looked like he should be starting in the NFL, because his stats for the season would have ended with week 17.

If we transplant the entire Jets roster here last year, then maybe we're talked about as "this decade's dynasty". It's easy to romanticize, but we were a horrendous team last year, and Sanchez would not have changed that.

Does that mean I don't wish we had him instead of Cassel? No. It just means I try to keep some loose grasp on reality. In reality, Sanchez would probably have had all the same questions entering 2010 as Cassel did, and my guess is we'd be talking about the exact same things right now, about how Weis is limiting the playbook to help him, about how our top-rated rushing attack is just in place to protect the quarterback, and about how we'd be better if we'd gotten quarterback x, y or z instead.

Hell, in some ways, maybe the Chiefs of 2010 are the Jets of 2009. It sure looks like the same plan they used to get to the AFC championship last year. Running game and defense.

He had 1 good game against Indy. I mean WTF? You guys are acting like he was good throughout the playoffs. He had one good game.

Can we PLEASE not say Breaks Down and Moeaki in the same thread title, please??

ROFL

I agree.

LMAO The Irony in this thread is amazing. A bunch of you calling out the Drafturbators for their wrong predictions then dissmissing ur own...

ROFL

Who?

Im not one for this pitty bullshit. Go back and look for ur self??

I'm sorry I liked Sanchez but got over it when I realized he wasn't an option. I'm sorry I laughed at his rookie season production because I knew it was causing butthurt. I'm sorry you took Everette Brown number 6 overall in the CP mock.

FWIW Sanchez turns 24 in two weeks..:D
