Possibly. Or 1-5. They wouldn't have won any more games with him than they have without him. Quarterback is not at issue on this team right now.

I'd further postulate that if Cassel was on the Jets, they'd be 5-0.

But he's not. At least not here in the real world.

I don't even know why the Jets would throw the ball again in this game...they can run all ****ing day long. Why risk the INT's against a team they're clearly much better than?

I knew this thread was coming. He's a rookie. This was bound to happen.

Pablo · 10-18-2009, 04:56 PM

Almost the 4th INT.

I mentioned in another thread that one of the top things scouts look for in a quarterback is their ability to throw a ball that cuts through the conditions.

Is it possible that wind could be Sanchez's achilles heel? In a lot of games I've seen, Sanchez throws a lot of lofty balls. If he's going to throw in New York and the AFC East, he's going to be dealing with wind. A lot. Should be interesting to see if this is something he can adjust to.

Yes, these questions are almost always settled by week 6 of a QB's rookie season. What makes Sanchez's performance all the more damning, however, is Cassel's exemplary game earlier today.

No way the Chiefs would have won without his crisp play.

Eh, after the incessant ball-washing; you'd have to expect reactionary threads like this to pop up.

Changing his name to Mark Manning would help, too.

I think Sanchez is doing a lot of the same things as Eli, and you certainly can't judge him on a bad game in his rookie season. He'll be a fine QB. It's just a nice wake up call to all the ridiculous claims that he's hands down a far superior QB to Cassel.

Then again, it'll again be interesting to track how he looks playing in the conditions.

I realize this post is sarcastic, but Cassel looked like John Elway compared to Sanchez today.

Most of the claims I've seen have stated that he unquestionably has greater upside, which was and is true.

Only total idiots are claiming he's a far superior QB to Cassel already.

He's a rookie. He's gonna have bad games. But he just looks like absolute dogshit in this particular game and in the NO game. I expect him to be a fine QB in this league; but I don't ever care to root for his success like some posters do.

When Cassel was this age, he was a third string TE and part time STer in college. He wasn't starting in the NFL.

He's been abysmal today. Awful. But it's his sixth start. I think I'll wait before taking Costanza's advice on QB play.

And he could still win this. But let us have fun for now.

Nonsense. I just flipped on the Jets game. Saw the 3rd INT, which had as much to do with Edwards as it did Sanchez. Putting the ball up for a playmaker? Terrible, terrible decision.

Cassel looked like complete shit today.

But, for the sake of argument, better than bad does not equal good.

Dangerous throw by Sanchez.
