Jets have a decision to make on Sanchez

Posted by Mike Florio on December 25, 2011, 8:22 AM EST

As the New York Jets begin to process the reality that there most likely will be no back-door path to the playoffs followed by a couple of unlikely road wins in the postseason, one of the factors the franchise will confront is the future of quarterback Mark Sanchez.

A league source tells PFT that the Jets are beginning to realize that Sanchez may not be the answer at the position. That said, the Jets will not publicly acknowledge even the possibility that Sanchez is falling out of favor.

How could they acknowledge it? Coach Rex Ryan already has declared that Sanchez will be the quarterback for as long as Ryan is the coach, a proclamation that could eventually turn out to be as reliable as pretty much every other guarantee Rex has made.

Still, we’re told that the Jets will quietly explore their options, refraining from dropping any hints until they’re ready to pull the trigger — if that’s what they decide to do.

Working against Sanchez is a base salary for 2012 that jumps to $8.5 million. Though that’s less than half of what the top quarterbacks are paid, Sanchez arguably has performed far less than less than half of the top quarterbacks.

Regardless of whether the Jets decide to keep Sanchez in the short term, a long-term decision is looming. Drafted in 2009, his five-year contract expires after the 2013 season.

And in the end, there’s a chance Ryan’s assessment of the situation will be accurate. If the Jets keep Sanchez for one more year and if the Jets fail to make the postseason again, Sanchez possibly will end up being the quarterback for Ryan’s full tenure as coach because Ryan’s tenure as coach could end.

59 attempts for 250 yards.

He's better than Cassel
but who isn't

Sanchez is awful. He holds back that team so much, but honestly I blame the coaches even more. Instead of realizing his many weaknesses and playing around them they constantly choose to throw the ball. They should lean on Shonn Greene and the running game but they throw the ball 55% of the time. With Holmes, Burress, Keller, Turner, McKnight, Tomlinson, and Greene you should be averaging more than 6yds per pass.

He may go where Schotty Jr goes, if he's still someone's idea of a HC

Not really. Sanchez is ****ing terrible too. Just because he was drafted in the first round and people wanted us to use the #3 overall pick on him doesn't make him better than the sack of shit we have at QB. They're both sacks of shit. Hopefully we'll get a chance to draft a true franchise QB, not just a guy who happens to play the position who is sitting there when we're picking.

Rex pisses me off. But I like him and part of that is how he addresses problems in his team.

He will probably cut Sanchez. He is crazy enough to go after Manning or draft another QB.

Sanchez hasn't panned out with the Jets, but you aren't going to hit on every round 1 QB. People need to expect that. But for the past 28 years, the Chiefs aren't even trying.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sanchez sit on the bench for another team for a year or two, and come back to be a decent QB. He has the physical tools, but his brain just hasn't made the jump to light speed.

So if a legitimate source within the organization "told" them this, isn't that "dropping a hint"?

Nice contradiction or manufactured bullshit?

A Washington insider told me that the Democratic Party is beginning to realize that Barack Obama may not be the winner of the next Presidential election. Anybody can do it, with anything.

A local drug runner told me that GoChiefs is beginning to realize that crack cocaine may not be the best diet aid.
