As a Lions fan I haven't seen enough of Sanchez to be able to comment on him or the situation, but I'll relate something from our past: Joey Harrington suffered many years of receiver after receiver dropping his passes. After you change receivers year after year after year and you still have the same problem, you have to eventually look at the constant and ask if there in might be the problem. Has Sanchez repeatedly suffered dropped passes or is this more just a problem with this game?
This is just a problem from this particular game. His completion percentage and all that is what it is. After this week you will never hear my defend Sanchez based on dropped passes. I have never seen so many routine catches dropped in a single game before.
One thing to keep in mind when comparing to the two is what they're asked to do. Stafford is asked to be the driving force behind that offense while Sanchez is (in all likelihood) coached to avoid turnovers and allow his running game and defense to keep him in the game. This being the case I think you can expect Stafford to have a higher YPC but also a higher percentage of INTS and sacks. Sanchez will probably have a higher completion percentage, but I doubt he puts up the positive numbers that Stafford does. This, of course, assumes health for both players and their respective offensive units.
Sanchez looked like a mexican jumping bean back there. I swear to god, it looked like he had 30 seconds to throw the ball on every snap but he consistantly either threw it over the heads of the receivers, missed wide open receivers or forced receivers (and cornerbacks) to make incredible catches (interceptions). See Braylon's catch when he had to scoop it off the ground. And what the fuck is up with the run plays on second and long? In my honest yet uneducated opinion, either Shotty should have to eat a dog turd this week or Sanchez needs to learn how to dance better.
So avoiding the rush is jumping around like a "Mexican jumping bean". This is not to defend Sanchez but he avoided the rush rather well. He has good feet, they are not the problem, maybe he needs glasses because his throws are off. .............. I guess we watched different games..........
Sanchez began dancing around way before there was any real pressure. The line held up well for the first 3 seconds of almost every play. Right after the snap, Sanchez would inevitably pump fake, shuffle around, pump fake again, shuffle around and then throw. I like the kid as a person, but it seems as though he's afraid to mess up. I know picks lose games but so do goose eggs on the scoreboard. This is Shotty's second flub of the year so I guess I can't complain but our division will not let us "flub up" again without suffering greatly.
Agree with Sanchez didn't have a good game, but also the receivers didn't as well. And as for Schotz, well he was horrible. Amateur hour from him. Really poor play calling. One thing about Sanchez though, he really seems to lose vision of the field when he's forced out of the pocket. He doesn't seem to be able to pick up his receivers again. And, none of them seem to know how to cut off their routes to give him an outlet when he gets in trouble. All in all, poor play from everyone on offense.
I don't understand how you can think he had a good game. He got a goose egg on the board at home against a suspect defense. His accuracy has to be a concern over the last 3 games. Additionally, his decision making still is effected by the pressure the defense gets on him. He is in his second year. Expect inconsistency.
Sanchez's QB rating so far for the regular season - 56.4 / 124.3 / 120.5 / 106.4 / 59.9 / 60.1 / bye / 43.3 Good game - I don't think so.
It was a bad game, he lit you guys up I'm sure you remember that. I'd more more concerned with 3rd year Henne then our Sanchez. Where have you been the past few weeks? The Jets end their 5 game winning streak and you decide it's a good time to pop on? LMAO Henne had 0 TD's and pick this past week so go talk about him.
Do you guys think the coaches don't let Sanchez run anymore??? Last year I remember him taking off a lot and gaining yards.. Now it seems he won't pull it down and run when he has a lot of open field in front of him but instead he'll try to force a ball or throw it away instead of picking up some yards.. It adds another dimension to the offense (I'm not asking for him to become Vick) like with Rodgers, Orton or Fitz.
No QBs have a "good" game and miss throwing an easy TD to a wide open WR with no safety help. I'd give him a B- for the game.
Jets Rewind: Analyzing the Good, Bad & Ugly in 9-0 loss to the Packers in Week 8 First, the drops. 1. Santonio Holmes dropped Sanchez’s first pass of the game on a quick slant. The ball was thrown slightly behind Holmes, but he needs to make that catch. 2. Shonn Greene’s first-quarter drop on a beautifully designed screen pass cost the jets about a 20-25 yard gain. 3. Holmes’ dropped a nearly perfectly thrown pass on a drag route that would have been a 45-yard TD on the opening drive of the third quarter. It appeared as if Holmes looked the ball all the way into his hands, but he just dropped it. Hard to explain. By the way, excellent job by Braylon Edwards on the play to rub - and effectively pick - cornerback Sam Shields to help Holmes create about a 3-yard separation. 4, 5 and 6: Three uncharacteristic fourth-quarter drops by Jerricho Cotchery proved costly. Sanchez missed out on two touchdowns to Braylon Edwards. On 1st and 10 from the Jets 10 in the second quarter, Sanchez rolled to his left on a designed bootleg. He hit Cotchery for a 13-yard gain, but Edwards was the guy he needed to find on that play. The wideout was streaking wide open down the field after Charles Woodson let him go (presumably a miscommunication in the Packers secondary). There was no safety help. It would have been an easy 90-yard TD if Sanchez had seen it.
