The Sanchez talk's a little over-the-top. If they do happen to win it this year, it won't be because they have a franchise quarterback, because regardless of what he's expected to be, that's not what he was in 2009. He was a rookie who had a bad season and still got into the playoffs despite himself. Because his team's defense was #1 in yards and #1 in scoring. And because his team's running game was #1 in yards. Those are the things that carried the Jets -and carried him, the league's 28th rated quarterback, centerpiece of the league's 31st ranked passing offense - into the playoffs.

When he's carrying the Jets, and not vice-versa, that's the time to talk about him as a franchise player. Right now he's an expensive Trent Dilfer, for all intents and purposes. I'm not saying that's what he's going to be in the long run, but that's what he was and is in 2009.

He looked pretty good last week, for the 15 throws he had to make, no question about that. Once he does that for a whole season and beyond, then it's time to talk about his stature among NFL qbs.
