Obviously we would be. He seemed very improved during the pre-season. 10/13 completions 13/23 5/6 He was being much more efficient with the ball. Wasn't forcing stuff, wasn't making terrible decisions. I don't think he would have been elite, but I think he would have been good enough that we'd be playoff bound.
5-6. You can put Sanchez, Geno, Simms, McElroy, and some others and they would not be able to overcome what is a mediocre supporting cast.
Being that there's only been 4 playoff seasons since '09 that's really not saying much. Not to mention the dramatic fall off he had the last 2 seasons. Add to that, they were a WC both years and that gave Sanchez a chance at an extra win in each playoff versus a QB who lead their teams to better regular season record (Brady, Manning, etc) who didn't have the luxury of playing an extra playoff game. If you were using a wider prism like 8-10 years then I'd be impressed.
I think the question should be asked. Would the Jets be better running the Miami O of 2008 with Kerley or Josh Cribbs under Center.
But Mitch, Brady and Manning have turned the ball over a ton more than Sanchez this season. So 2013 Sanchez > 2013 Brady AND 2013 Manning.
Because we weren't winning until he came around, even though his contribution was at the most mediocre. Well if you include the Chad era to an extent
nyjunc are you gay because the only reason i can justify your love affair for sanchez is because he's handsome. as a QB he STINKS
Yes, I am announcing I am coming out of the closet b/c that is the only way someone could possibly think the guy that has the MOST playoff wins for a starting QB in team history(by DOUBLE) could be a decent QB. So I see you think he's handsome.
i think he's incredibly handsome, but he still sucks at QB. players like trent dilfer, brad johnson, vince young, etc have been pretty awful QBs and have won playoff games. that fits in right with mark sanchez. until you give a real reason for supporting sanchez instead of repeatedly saying that lame ass stat, i'll continue to think youre either gay for sanchez or a moron.
There is no doubt Mark would play better than Geno, but how much better? is the question. The Jets might have lost to the Bengals by 20, instead of 40. Compete in Buffalo, but still lose. Lose to the Ravens 19-16 instead of 19-3. The Jets have so many issues, it is hard to say what their record would be with Mark. Still could easily be 5-6.
Dilfer and Johnson were incredibly underrated QBas and Vince Young never won a playoff game. you can win a playoff game here or there w/ a bad QB, you aren't winning 4 road ones in 2 years. I have given 50,000 reasons, go back and read my posts as you admire Mark for his handsomeness.
The only game we definitely lose w/ mark was Cincy, they thrashed us all around. We would have had chances in ten, vs. Pit, at Buf, at Bal and at NE. we win at least 2 of those.
i don't need to go back and read you're reasons, i'm sure their delusional posts that no one can prove because they are hypothetical. i just question how you can say the weapons this year are light years better than last year. it's almost comical. it seems that everyone forgets that sanchez threw a pick 6 on his first play this year in the preseason to ziggy ansah. the jet's fanbase sometimes is embarrassing to the point where we are wishing for the one QB we hated
We would still be 5-6, maybe we could be at .500. Some games I believe Sanchez could of won for us Some games I believe Geno could of won for us. Both could of lost games that the other won. It's a crapshoot.
if you don't need to then why comment? clearly you are brilliant and don't need my help. Be like everyone else and say he sucks while watching what a real terrible QB looks like this year.
These what if threads are right up junc's alley. He's quick to argue with you about stuff that can't be proven one way or the other.
