Football Sanchez...I hope he sucks. - Page 14

**mlyonsd** · 04-27-2009, 05:24 PM

I'm not proud of the fact that I hope Sanchez turns out to be a dismal failure.

It started with the planet arguing about Sanchez vs. Cassel. I don't mind a decent argument on QB's but after getting rid of both Carl and Herm that alone should have been enough of a positive move forward to keep the issue civil. Taking issue with Pioli picking the QB he wanted over an unproven college draftee was silly. Then bitching about not picking Sanchez during the draft for trade bait instead of letting Pioli getting the guy he really wanted sealed the deal.

So for mostly whiny, petty feelings I hope he sucks. I don't want him to get hurt but would love to see him crying on the sidelines when he's finally replaced as a starter. I hope the first time he's called on to make a game saving throw it's evident when he chits is pants. I hope Blackledge has better numbers when their collective careers are done.

I'm going to root against him more than I did Elway. Ok, that was a stretch but I will totally enjoy every interception, every bad pass, every sack.

If the new staff can get Gholston to play near the level of his draft stutus, with the addition of Bart Scott and the shift in philosophy to a more attacking style (which plays to Gholston's strength), I think that defense has the chance to be much improved.

Sure. But that's alot of variables that Sanchez' success depends on.

Sure, but even if all the variables don't come together, the Jets defense wasn't all that bad last year, and Farve put them in difficult situations with his poor decisions.

Sanchez simply has manage the games and avoid those mistakes while he's learning.

I'd be willing to bet that he throws fewer interceptions than Favre by at least seven.

Sanchez doesn't HAVE to be awesome. He's got a solid Oline, 3 good running backs, solid Wrs, a TE and a descent defense. He needs to play like Joe Flacco to give them a chance.

He's in a much better position to be successful than Stafford.

Different expectations. If Stafford can win 6 games his first year that is a huge improvement. The New York market expects the playoffs.

The thing is, managing games isn't probably gonna be enough to win in the playoffs. I think you're underestimating what Jet fans are gonna expect.

They probably expect playoff WINS with this team.

Are they really that stupid and impatient? Who gives a **** what they expect; let the coaches do the job right.

It's New York and they're Jets fans.

So yes.

And no.

Have you watched the draft? Jets fans aren't smart enough to know what to expect.

They have to live with the other team in NY, the Giants, so the push to excel is even greater.

I hope they compare him to Eli, starting in training camp. I hope he puts up Steve Fuller numbers.

Meh.

There's a big time Jets/Giants fan rivalry in NY. Eli worked through it, mostly I think because the organization behind him is solid.

NY fans will compare him to Eli, you can bet your life on it. I hope he cracks like an egg thrown against a brick wall.

I wish the Jets would rehire Herm in some capacity to seal the deal.

rad · 04-29-2009, 05:56 PM

I hope Jets fans have a big trunk........'cause Sanchez is gonna put his bike in it.

Brock · 04-29-2009, 06:00 PM

What's the big deal about being compared to Eli? Like that's some kind of benchmark.

**mlyonsd** · 04-29-2009, 06:02 PM

I hope Brodie Croyle, after being cut by the Chiefs, is picked up by the Jets for the 2010 training camp and wins the QB job outright from Sanchez.
