    sure but all the D needed to do was get 1 stop, they even could have allowed a FG to stay alive and get to OT. they failed as they typically have done in big spots.

    hahaha, it was only a few posts ago, and amazingly, I only had to use quotes from this thread. Your Sanchez delusions know no bounds.

    you should have someone read it to you to make it easier to understand.
    it took you that long to post a comeback like that? I would say you could do better but I know you can't.

    Riddle me this, why did the Rams decide to go with a career backup as their QB instead of trade for Sanchez and reunite him with his OC for his most successful seasons when Bradford got hurt? They didn't even make a move for him as their backup during FA. Is it possible that maybe Schottenhiemer said he sucks and we don't want him? Who is he gonna start for? Certainly not a playoff contender....Tampa? Oakland? Buffalo?

    All down hill since the obsession with CBs.

    I know you are smarter than this Miano. How often do we see in season trades and for a QB no less. Philly sees themselves as a SB team, it makes no sense for them to trade an important piece off their team. if Foles goes down now(and he's taken a beating) they are in a great spot, if they traded Mark and Foles goes down the season is over.

    They could have signed him when he was a free agent, surely Shotty would have been the guy to know and they didn't even consider it

    of course. The guy is at or near his athletic prime (28 years old) and has over 60 career starts (6 in the playoffs) under his belt. If the league thought he was any good, he'd absolutely be starting somewhere. There were plenty of teams who needed a quarterback after last season. He got an offer to be a backup, because that is exactly what he is.

    they didn't have a chance to as teams were lined up to try to sign him. Mark chose the best situation which was Chip Kelly and Philly. even if he never plays his reputation is already restored among GMs.

    You don't think the fact Idzik for some bizarre reason held on the Mark until every potential veteran FA QB destination was occupied has any bearing on why he is not starting, or had the chance to start somewhere?

    This is one of those notions that has been widely trumpeted by the delusional Sanchez folks on this board, which, like most of the things the Sanchez brigade claims, just isn't particularly accurate or fair. In point of fact, the Jets released Mark Sanchez on Friday, March 21, almost a full month before the NFL draft. There were numerous teams with unresolved quarterback situations at that point in time, and not one team (that I have ever read about) ever seriously considered him for a starting role, including St. Louis, which would have seemed to make quite a bit of sense. Mark was offered a contract as a backup quarterback because that's what most people think he is.

    I know Sanchez hate makes haste which often leads to this type of post waste (a little poem I wrote) but let's calm down a tad bit. I specifically referenced "potential veteran FA" landing spots (i.e., Tampa, HOU, OAK…etc.). There were teams that were clearly not interested in bringing in a vet and wanted to address their unresolved QB situations exclusively through the draft. With that in mind please tell me again what I said that wasn't "particularly accurate or fair"; for your convenience we'll even ignore the fact that it was just a question.

    Play offense to get to the post season(being able to pass the ball). Run the ball to win in the playoffs. And play defense to win championships. I don't think this has changed much at all in the history of me watching this game.

    The bolded simply isn't true (let alone, "fair or accurate"). For one thing, every team with an unresolved quarterback situation at the time of his release was a potential landing spot for a veteran like Sanchez. Whether or not a given team ultimately decided to address its perceived need for a quarterback by going after a veteran or utilizing a draft pick was undoubtedly a decision with a lot of considerations. As a result, how you came to the drastic conclusion that every potential "veteran" (as if only certain teams in need of a quarterback would ever be interested in a 28 year old veteran with over 60 career starts under his belt) is beyond me. Having said all of that, what we know for certain is that none of the teams in need of a starting quarterback chose Mark as a potential solution. None. Zero. Nada. In point of fact, Mark was only ever offered a contract to be a backup.

    And once more, for the record, Mark Sanchez (a guy who is currently in the athletic prime of his career) was released on March 21st, OVER (I incorrectly used the word "almost" before) one month before the NFL draft. If teams looked at him as a starter, he would be a starter somewhere. He wasn't even offered the OPPORTUNITY to compete for a staring job . . . anywhere.

    teams had their rosters set from FA and what they expected to do in the draft, all the starting spots were occupied a month into FA. had he been released on the eve of FA he would be starting somewhere today.

    actually my post is well informed, the baseless speculation comes from your post.
