Yeah I'm an idiot and just looked at the Super bowl year and went to that years roster. I alway get thrown by that.
You are very wrong actually. Ive been optimistic since the day rex ryan stepped in as head coach. In july, everyone was telling me to be content with an 8-8 and 9-7 year and I felt strongly that we could do much better despite rookie hc and qb. Once again ill spell out my point plainly, im almost starting to dilute due to constant repition: In my humble opinion, If i were to pick one reason we dont make a superbowl appearance this year, its the rookie qb. I am still very optmistic that we can make an apperance and even win a superbowl, but sanchez is the only thing giving me anxiety. The Ben roethlisberger point was a very good one though, and makes me a little more comfortable with sanchez. I shouldve just titled this thread "Sanchez needs to protect the ball and manage the game and we can make a superbowl appearance" howboutdat?
That would be infinitely better. I'm not suggesting we can put the team on his shoulders this year, just that I disagree that there were better options readily available to us. No part of the offense is particularly effective right now, although I do feel the running game woes have been overstated on this board. The difference between trotting out a poor fit vet and our prized rookie is that, with Sanchez, we'll see growth in the offense throughout the season and place ourselves in a better position to contend both this year and in the future.
