Without a doubt.

in other news, Brady threw another TD pass, while walking into the shower...

That was an ugly game full of horrible play on both sides.

Sanchez is going to struggle till he gets use to the NY weather, the Meadowlands is a tough stadium to play in.

Should be fun listening to Rex Ryan now...

arrowhead is a tough stadium to play in so cassel gets a pass

Oh yeah, those winds play havoc.

I think long term Sanchez will be fine...

This is why I've stressed for many months that distance arm strength is grossly overrated and I don't understand why people are so obsessed with it. Or why so many seem to think distance = arm strength.

Most scouts could care less if you throw 70 yards as opposed to 60. What they care about is the zip you can put into the ball and whether you throw a ball that cuts into the conditions. Pennington didn't have a good arm from a distance standpoint, but he threw a nice enough ball that it still had zip in the conditions. For as much shit as Huard got, he never seemed to have a problem throwing a zipped ball in the conditions.

Sanchez's ball looked really sloppy today. On both his lobs and his fired passes. His passes didn't have that clean-cut spiral that knifes into the wind. And so even on passes that he fired, you could see the ball almost die a little bit in mid-air. That's certainly got to be a concern if you're a Jets fan and it's something the QBs coach is going to need to really work with him on. I don't think it's too unfixable. I think he learns to throw a cleaner ball, and he'll be fine. But it's relevant in that a lot of his bread and butter passes have come from lob passes that are going to be very affected by wind.

A couple of them died because you could see he tried to lob the ball which was stupid for that weather but not surprising since it was his first time playing in it.

Sanchez better get use to the cold quick or he is going to have a horrible career during the 2nd part of a season on a regular bases. He can't be protected by the California sunshine and only one season lifestyle forever.

There were many draft experts that stated they had major concerns about Sanchez's ability to play in a cold weather city. I don't doubt the Jets drafting him on talent, but there are more to the equation than a physical skills.

Dude, cut yourself off. There is no comparison in the wind swirls. That's not in any way an excuse for Sanchez's shitbomb today, but there is a HUGE difference between the stadiums.

Never once saw this.

Anybody change opinions today? In this thread? Great!

See you next week, same time, same channel. (And the week after that, and the week after that....)

Played like a true rookie QB today, didn't break Namath's record for most interceptions in a game though. Forced a lot of throws trying to make a play and it backfired on his ass. Part of the growing pains of a rookie.

If that was really the case that every west coast QB would be downgraded and there are numerous successful QB's that never played in adverse conditions until their NFL careers started.

ROFL

You're on a roll.
