Jets-Seahawks: First-Half TweetsPosted by on November 11, 2012 – 5:49 pm
Here are today's first-half tweets for Jets-Seahawks at CenturyLink Field, in case you missed them on Twitter. Follow Bob Wischusen, Eric Allen and me for our tweets during each Jets game on https://twitter.com/nyjets.
#RL Today's Jets gameday captains: QB Mark Sanchez, S Eric Smith, CB Isaiah Trufant, LB Ricky Sapp, WR Jason Hill.
#RL Last 3 games Jets won the opening toss, chose to receive were in '11–JAX, MIA, KC. Jets won all 3 games.
#RL Tim Tebow pass to Jeremy Kerley for 1 yard. Tebow now 3-for-4 passing on the season.
Takeoff #NYJvsSEA (Presented by Toyota – http://bit.ly/UrkzEg )pic.twitter.com/LLYtlBgk

#RL Russell Wilson to WR Golden Tate for 38-yd TD over Kyle Wilson. SEA rookie has 10 TD passes (0 INTs) in 5 games at CenturyLink Field.
#RL Before that TD, Jets had scored first in 8 of the previous 9 games vs. Seahawks (7-2), and in the previous 5 games @ SEA (3-2)
#RL Leon Washington's first touch vs. his former team is a 20-yd punt return to SEA 40.
#EA Jets are going to continue to try to knock that ball loose from Marshawn Lynch. Lankster got in there with some pressure on 3rd down.
#RL RB Bilal Powell's first touch in 3 games goes for 7 yards on a second-down draw.
#RL Bart Scott gets his 1st sack since Game 14 @ PHI last year, taking down Wilson for 12-yd loss. …
#RL Mo Wilkerson 21-yd FUM-return TD off Mike DeVito stripsack ties it at 7. Jets' first defensive FR TD since Marques Douglas @ IND in 09.
#RL Jets CB Isaiah Trufant has a knee injury. His return to this game is questionable.
#EA 7-7 at CenturyLink Field. 1st career TD for Mo Wilkerson. That was Bart's first sack of the year on the last series.
#EA Fumble recovery by the Jets. They got the ball out from Lynch. That's 2 takeaways now. Looks like C. Pace has it.
#RL Mo Wilkerson forces Marshawn Lynch FUM, Calvin Pace recovers. Seahawks have as many giveaways in this game (2) as in first 4 home games.
#EA That's Pace's 1 Fumble Recovery of the season and 10th of his career.
#RL Jeremy Kerley's 43-yd completion from Mark Sanchez to SEA-7 gives JK 4 catches for 55 yds today.

#RL Mark Sanchez tries to find Dustin Keller in EZ, throws his 4th red zone INT this season to CB Richard Sherman, who steps OB at SEA-2.
#EA That's Sanchez's 4th Red Zone INT of the season. He threw across the field to Keller, but Browner intercepted.
#RL Ellis Lankster strip-sack of Russell Wilson was Lankster's first career sack. Jets have ball at midfield.
#EA Wilson is rattled. Lankster comes untouched and gets the strip-sack. Ricky Sapp almost had it, but the 'Hawks recovered.
#EA Jets D in 1.5 quarters: 3 sacks, 2 takeaways, 1 TD.
#RL Jets third 3-and-out series this game. Robert Malone's nifty drop punt forces Leon Washington to fair-catch it at SEA-10.
#RL Antonio Cromartie, who leads Jets in INTs (3), pass defenses (10), gets a big PD in end zone on Wilson fleaflicker pass to Sidney Rice.
#EA Now we're even in the turnover department as Jeremy Kerley can't field the punt. SEA ball at the NYJ 42.
#EA Seattle takes the 13-7 lead as they capitalize after the turnover. Lynch got in from 1-yard out. They are reviewing the play though.
#RL Seattle leads 14-7. The 'Hawks' 7-point lead is their largest first-half lead over the Jets at home since 1979, a span of 6 games.
#EA Call upheld. Jets now trail 14-7. 2-Minute warning. 'Hawks will get the ball to start the 3rd. Jets have 2 TOs and ball at own 21.
#EA B. Powell slow to get up after that punt. SEA has ball at their 43 with 1:19 on the clock.
#RL Seahawks lead 14-7 at halftime and also lead in yards (134-112), 1st downs (8-5), possession (15:25-14:35). Teams tied in turnovers 2-2.

I have been highly critical of the Jets and most particulary of Sanchez in the past on this site. I take no joy in the season. There is no satisfaction. I hoped I would be proven wrong. I said if the season goes like I anticipated the blame will fall almost soley on T-baum. To extend Sanchez after the preformance of last season was probably one of the most inexplicable mistakes I have ever seen.To not have a viable #2 in place and ready to move into the starter postion is beyond any rational thought process. Spicer you are a man to admit you were wrong., I wish you were right.T-baum will go down and he will take alot of good people with him. Time to clean house top to bottom. Rebuild. Once again.

How much more of a sub par QB play can Rex take. Don't need to explain how bad MS played, we all saw that. On the bright side, Mo Wilkerson looked like a All Pro today and Davis looks like he belongs as a starter.

The way I see it. The Jets have no offense and a partial defense. Sparano, Rex and Mark will end up with a losing season. But lets look at the bright side, there is always next year.

Eh, I give up. Looking forward to next season already, in fact can't wait till the offseason, too many issues on this team, just gets painful to watch as the weeks pass. All I want to say is shame on this Jets front office and most of all, shame on GM Mike T and Owner Woody Johnson.

Well, what's left to say? Another Sunday, another pathetic performance by the offense, another typical mark Sanchez day (less then 50% competition percentage, an INT and a fumble), another loss, and another pathetic press conference. I can hear it now, in one of Rex's weekday pressers, "Mark gives us the best chance to win" sad, sad, sad! The Tebow debacle has officially turned out to be stand up comedy in every sense of the term. How a pro organization can continue on with this charade, is way over MY head. Mr Johnson, clean off those glasses, look beyond your nose, and put an end to this misery.

In Rex's post game presser he stated that "there is no quit in these players" well, judging from that tackling display in the 2nd half you could have fooled me. And of course, re" Sanchez clarification on the fumble, "THE-BALL-WAS-WET"… OH, OK, that explains it all, sorry I ever doubted you Mark!

Sorry Rex but sticking with Sanchez is going to cost you your job. The game wasn't on where I was this weekend andcwhen I saw the Sachez stat 1 int and 1 fumble I told myself I bet the int was in the redzone IT WAS and I bet the fumble was him being sacked and doing his usual idiotic routine and try and throw it.
It's 4 years now and he still makes the same mistakes every week. Time to cut bait he has no instincts and can't see the field sorry but he stinks. Please give anyone a shot this is a tiresome act, every week the same nonsense. Enough slready the Jets are a laughingstock and the fans don't deserve this crappy play.

Cont. . . . But the O probably could not beat a HS team. How long can this team stick with losing QBs? The Jets have bcome laughable. There are statiscally worse teams but those teams are making changes while the Jets mantra of," We must correct our mistakes, We can have to play better, We will look at the films and fix it, I beleive in this team.'" It can only be a matter of time before the lockeroom falls apart. The few players who have stepped up and those playing their hearts out will see managements refusal to make changes and stubbornly stick with poor performers as the hieght of imcompetence and give up. No free agents will want to sign here or play for a team that is embarrassing.

When is this insanity going to stop?!? I can't believe Ryan's comment on sanchez.." I believe he still gives us the best chance to win!?!?" are you kidding me Rex Ryan?! The defense kept the NYJ in this game for 3 qtrs. but you knew sooner or later they were going to tire out after Sanchez and the O's 3 and outs…Mark's fumble and INT.. And what makes it worse is that I am sure 90% of jet fans knew mark was going to throw that INT in the redzone. This guy is the worst QB since Nagle!..Rex mark is your guy? well get ready to go down with him because this ship is sinking FAST!..

IRA, Sorry dude, but there is no way even you can spin anything positive out of this game! I was very concerned going into this game because we were so bad vs. miami. This however turned out to be a winnable game. To their credit, the D stepped up and played well in the first half. The 2nd half was another story all together! The most glaring problem was the Offence was offensive! M.S. may someday torn out to be a decent NFL Q.B. But that day was not yesterday and I see no way it happans as a Jet! S.C.Joe, when you review the tape(if you can stomach it?) pay attention to how many times C.Pace gets fooled by the same play as rookie Q.B runs around him at least 5 times.Pathetic.And all you fans of McIntyre,please forget him, he was as bad

I am sure Schotty is saying "Welcome to my world" with Mark Sanchez. Maybe it wasn't schotty's fault after all? Maybe he was dealing with a career back QB and couldn't do anymore. Sanchez continues to make the same mistakes over and over again. It time play the G-Mac..At least if he makes mistakes he has an excuse, Someone needs to hide Marks helmet during games…PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Mark Sanchez was awful on throws five or fewer yards downfield again Sunday, completing 5-of-11 passes for 28 yards. Sanchez's 53.2 completion percentage on such throws is the worst in the NFL among qualified passers. –quoted from ESPN

Some guys get to watch there team in February (never EVER if you are a Jet fan). Some guys get to watch there team in January (about 1 time every 5 years if you are a Jet fan). Some guys teams are out if it in December (but at least they put up a fight & gave you a decent season). Jet fans have nothing to watch in November & IT IS NOT EVEN MID NOVEMBER! Only 4 teams since 1970 have made the playoffs after being 3 & 6. So stop with the playoff talk Rex IT IS OVER!

I thought that Mark would get better over time but he simply has not. He makes the same EXACT mistakes he made as a rookie & has shown no improvement at all. If anything he has lost what little confidence he had. Dont get me wrong it is not all on him from MR.T'S lack of surronding him with weapons, to the joke of the o line we had last year & finally the PSL'S selling Tebow trade to where we are now. We have to move on. We would have to get a Holmes back, a great WR & a great RB just for this guy to be functional at this point. We need a QB who can make the guys around him better & he is not it!

Besides Kerley, Wilkerson & Coples I really have nothing good to say about anyone on this team. These 3 guys went to play everyone else I dont know what it is that they were doing. P.S. Wilson it is official a 1st round bust. Also what was Austin Howard what was he doing? I saw at least 2 plays where he ignored the outside rusher & let the guys get a free run at the QB!

There is a article on nyjetscap.com that I want you all to read its called "Is 2013 salary cap making the 2012 decisions for the Jets" It bascially says that if Tebow plays a certain number of plays his contract calls for him to make $10,000,000 guarenteed next year. It says thats why no matter what this year Mark Sanchez is the guy. It says if they make Tebow the starter next year they will have $30,000,000 in guarenteed contracts for next year in just 3 players Holmes, Sanchez & Tebow. To make matters even worse 2 of these 3 guys both play QB & both of them are bad at it LOL only the Jets!

As of right now the Jets are picking anywhere from 5 to 9 if the draft were to happen today. Does ANY Jet fan honestly think MR.T is smart enough to trade Tebow & Sanchez then draft a franchise QB with that pick? I would bet if we took a survey the answer would be 100% NO. I think I have a better shot of winning the lotto then of that happening. I dont think I will live long enough to see the Jets win a Super Bowl!

GaryC- Fassel is in LasVegas, he was coaching in the league that Isiah Trufant came from. He also invested heavily in the league which has now gone defunct; so he is available. Not sure he's the guy or that I'd wish this team on anyone.
On the positive side, I didn't waste a couple hundred bucks travelling to Seattle to see that debacle yesterday (I know, selfish). That red zone pick is Sanchez in a nutshell: receiver is open, doesn't throw it, looks elsewhere, happy feet, looks again, pumps AT THE PLAYER HE WILL THROW TO, then throws late and is picked. Didn't you think the fake throw to the target was going to draw attention?
If MS is our best QB, then McElroy must be a different guy then the one who won the Nat'l Championship at Bama

If this team (Woody Johnson) does not make a radical change soon this franchise will be set back further and further. No FA's will come, no coaches will come and work for a clueless owner and GM. Ira and Mr. Costello:How do you feel about playoff scenarios now? That bad game that Seattle was due to have? Sorry, but optimism need not be delusional. We are the worst team in the league when one considers long term success. At least the teams like Jax are finding young talent or finding out if there is a lack of talent. We continue to define Albert einstein's definition of insanity: doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different result. Ludicrous. Sanchez should be embarrassed that he makes millions.

Rex and Sparano are trying to make MS a pocket passer. Problem is MS has average arm strength, below average accuracy and what appears to be, zero football sense. Another problem would be the fact that he doesn't have the allusiveness that Russell Wilson has. Would love to see the Jets take a QB in 2nd or 3rd round next year. Someone that can takeoff and run if nothing is there.
TT isn't the answer either , at least not how the Jets use him. At least give TT a couple of series.
The Jets should do the opposite of what they do. Instead of using TT on short yardage only, use MS on 3rd and long only.

I got this off of Rotoworld "Coach Rex Ryan told reporters following Sunday's embarrassing, 28-7 loss to the Seahawks that Mark Sanchez remains the Jets' starting quarterback. The Jets' offense didn't even score a point against Seattle & Sanchez is 3-9 in his last 12 starts, dating back to last season. He isn't the long-term answer, but neither is Tim Tebow. So the Jets will stick with Sanchez because they guaranteed him $20.5 million in an offseason contract "extension." Barring an unforeseen and dramatic turnaround, Ryan's fate as Jets head coach may rest squarely on Sanchez's shoulders." I have been trying to tell you guys they owe him so much money they have to play him!

Right now I'm sorry I've been a ticket holder for so long. Offense is totally awful–not just MS. The few passes he throws well get dropped anyway. 2 weeks off to prepare and this is the best we can do? The only things woody can do to make us all feel better is fire Mr. T and blow it all up-yet again-and start over—or better yet have Woody sell to someone who understands football and wants to have a winning team, not a back page circus. very, very disappointing, but not surprised. they didn't have much offensive talent to start with and they did not surround MS—or whoever is QB with any real talent anyway–then throw in the tebow mess—he should have gone to Jacksonville. Yup I think G-Mac deserves the reps the rest of the year.

I was of the first to comment on Sparano being named as an offense coach. There is "NO" question in my mind that when Sparano was brought in as OC we were in trouble. He couldn't win with Miami. Now Rex, Sparano and the rest of the coaches are saying, we will turn it around, I guess they live in fairy land. WOODY, make changes, pay either "Gruden or Cower" to come in and fix this team. Get rid of MS, TT, Sparano, Rex and the rest of these coaches. The way you took control in the erlections how about taking control of the Jets once and for all.

The Jets have some potential stars they don't even use in their games. Hayden is a potential star at TE and McElroy is a potential star at QB. Nobody will stop Hayden when he catches the ball. HMcElroy can lead and he's a winner. Just give him a chance. He won't do any worse than Sanchez. McElroy won the national championship with Alabama and you don't even use him. I've been a Jets fam since 1981 and now it's over. It's not even fun to watch the Jets. Hasn't been fun for decades. SOJ. the most mediocre team in the history of the NFL. I hope you lose every game this year so you can get a good draft next year. You keep drafting mediocre guys and you have a mediocre team. I might come back if you let McElroy play but for now so long NY Jets.

Watch the replay where Sherman picks off Sanchez' weak late throw across the field to Keller – Stephen Hill is WIDE OPEN waving his arms under the goal-post. Mark had a clear passing lane over the middle to Hill – Any other NFL QB throws a TD on that play – Blaine Gabbert hits Hill for that TD. I knew the game was over after that pick. The first half play by the D was nice but, Pace, Thomas and Scott run out of gas as the game goes on. Knew Carroll would make the adjustments needed to take advantage of these old dinosaurs. Rookie Wilson looks confident, polished, athletic and more like a franchise QB than ANY rookie QB Jets ever had – he's clearly better than 4th year starter Sanchez already – Sums up your scouting dept right there!

I don't know what to say than what everyone here has said already… I've gotten to the point where I don't get upset anymore watching these games. Why? Because I already know what is going to take place. I knew the Jets were going to get blown out yesterday and they didn't disappoint. MS has gotten progressively worse, and it's sad to see. I think at this point his confidence is shot, adding to his already poor play. For Rex to say he gives this team the best shot to win is ridiculous. It is time for him to be benched. Any other coach in the league would have done it by now in the same situation. We know TT may not be the answer, but it might be more entertaining watching him play. I give him a lot of credit as to the way he has
By Stevesc on Nov 12, 2012 | Reply
(cont'd) handled his situation here. Sending him in for one play and then taking him out has to be very frustrating for a player. He handles it with class and doesn't gripe about playing time. I would love to see GMac get some playing time instead of standing on the sidelines in civies with a clipboard in his hands. Now would be a good time to see what he can do. There are no playoffs for this team this year because they will finish under .500.
By Christopher on Nov 12, 2012 | Reply
Nobody seemed to mention it, but on Sanchez's pick…Hill was wide open in the back of the end zone. Instead of scrambling right and throwing to Keller (which I'm sure was the play call), if he stepped up in the pocket he would have found a wide open Hill for a TD. I believe any other QB in the league would have made that play. I tried to stay positive and support Sanchez, but enough already. Give Tebow his shot, I doubt he can do much better, but I know he cannot do any worse. I would rather they gave McElroy a shot, but no way that will happen; admit they were wrong on both Sanchez and Tebow, they would rather go 3-13 which is where they are heading. Rex is determined to go down with his sinking ship.

No surprises here I predicted this last week. Jamarcus Sanchez these days always being compared to the "worst" numbers by a QB over the last 4 years. Classic Sanchez he had Hill WIDE OPEN in the back of the end zone and so was Keller and he throws the pick.
Rex/Sanchize-Not now 3-9 over the last 12 games.
There is no doubt Rex wanted the financial committment that was incredibly ididotic the team made to Sanchize-Not (7th highest paid QB…LOL) this past offseason and there is ZERO chance he will bench Sanchize-Not.
Woody needs to put on his Jerry Jones and tell Rex to start Tebow otherwise why did they even bother bringing him here?
Just as well Rex and Sanchez both need to go period end of story.

Notice how the Seahawks clowned our coaching staff with the Golden Tate option pass? After watching film of the Jets and hearing Rex blow hard about big changes in how they planned to use Tebow – I'm pretty sure Carroll probably had his team prepared for some wildcat passes in fact they proved to be better coached and prepped in one week than the two our Jets had. They roll out one wildcat style play BOOM… TOUCHDOWN. Where were all the big "changes" Rex talked about? It speaks volumes about our coaching staff when the Seahawks made the necessary halftime adjustments because their QB was taking some hits while our coaches halftime strategy made the Jets look baffled and bewildered. Just End This Season

I caught that dig at Newton, GaryC, but I'll take his upside potential over Sanchez's. Hey punchdrunk, er, punchie, looks like your playoff predictions are about as wise as your political views. Spicer, this must be a tough moment for you, struggling for yrs as you did with MS's stats. I admire your optimism but somewhere along the way you stopped watching the game on an instinctual level. Anyone who couldn't see starting about a yr or so ago that MS just doesn't have the calm, character, physical tools, pocket presence, and (as Arte's always saying) PERIPHERAL VISION to ever be a great QB was just seeing what he wanted to see…kind of like folks who saw what they wanted to see on Election Day. Start all over, Woody, preferably in Queens.
By scjoe on Nov 12, 2012 | Reply
Ron, what I saw from not only Pace, but from the Jets defense in general, is that their lack of speed on defense is being exposed more and more from week to week. Calvin Pace, to put it in laymans terms, is simply NOT a 3-4 OLB. What he is, and what he should be is a b/u DE in a 4-3. That said, I refuse to put the blame for this latest debacle on the D. No defense would endure being out there for almost 40 minutes per game. All those 3 and outs, lasting about 90 seconds were the reason this D melted down in the 4th quarter.

One thing is for sure, we are all on the same page when it comes MS, TT, Rex and Sparano. What is it going to take to get WOODY to open his eyes. I can not believe that an owner would allow himself to be embarrassed like this and not fix what is wrong with a team we all try and stand behind. If they lose there fans they lose revenue, if you lose revenue how do you bring good coaches and players in. WOODY we have a HC that made us the laughing stock of the NFL with his bragging, lousy insight and not benching MS. We can not finish 500 this season. Play all the young players and put MaClroy in…

I'm on the unfortunate Mets/Jets ride too. At least Aldorson is moving the Mets towards youth.
All the DE's bought the fake and got outflanked all day. Pitiful. Two wekks to prepare and you don't know how much they use the waggle?
Amen on Kyle Wilson, put him w Gholston and the rest.
The number of players I'd keep is now down to about ten or twelve.
Fire everyone in th FO, scouts, GM, position coaches etc
Get Gruden and give him the keys to everything.

Spicer – I read that article about the salary cap, it makes a lot of sense. I recommend everyone here read ($$$) why they have been limiting Tebows snaps. Looks like the Jets are in Cap Hell next year and will end up paying dead weight players they would otherwise cut. Financially This whole franchise is in DEEP DARK TROUBLE – thanks to T-Bomb and the contracts he's burdened them with. Just when I thought things couldn't get any more depressing.

Gruden YES! Forget Fassel and Cowher. Rex's inability to admit he is playing a losing hand is simply unbeleivable. Staying with Stinkchez and thinking he gives us the best chance to win is foolish. half the time in the news conference Rex keeps his eyes down. He is ashamed. The constant comments that they are addressing everything is simply false. All Rex can say about Tebow is they are planning week to week depending on the team so they can surprise them. Well Tebow passing 3-3 for 8 yards and running 4-14 yards damn that's awesome. We din't even get any Sporano field goals. Win and loss wise we can still make tha playoffs BUT I think the only team we will beat is Jax. Players aren't stupid. They know the staff in inept and going down.

the only thing mark giver you every week you can count on is a interception and a fumble. he averages to turnovers per game since he been here..4yrs…and they give him an extension…im not a tim tebow guy but yesterday he got us 3 first downs otherwise we would of had i dont know but say 7-8-9 3 and outs…cant blame the defense for that they need help…..time for a boycott…against rrex and mark.. the team cant or they would i believe that

This should have never happened. This is all your fault Mike Tannenbaun. At the end of 2010, we had a loaded roster, we were just a few pieces, like 2 or 3 away from being a legit super bowl team and even before then we were really good. They should have continued to built on that, but no, they did just the opposite which brings us to present day. This MESS that you guys see all falls only on Tannenbaum shoulders and the PSL-Tebow selling Owner.

Spicer, speaking strictly for myself, re: MS, I hope you are at the point now where you can truly understand what I have been saying for 3 plus seasons now. Those two turnovers yesterday, which were both critical, were not only physical mistakes, they were both horrible decisions as well. That his been this players MO for the better part of 4 seasons now. If I thought for even one minute during that time that he has learned from those mistakes I would have given him the benefit of the doubt. But is obvious he has learned very little or nothing in his decision making. Now, if we can just get the "powers to be" no matter if that is WJ, Tbum or Rex to open their eyes, and their minds, we can move on.

Just to follow up on that post. I know as well as anyone that it is "not entirely" on MS. But two things come in to play, 1- He is the QB, which makes him the focal point of the offense, and the offense is just plain not getting the job done. 2-You know that old saying, "if you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem" It applies here.

if I'm not mistaken
made it to red zone only once ( then MS threw the pick)
and one more time out side the 30 ( MS fumble)
the only two scoring chances the jets had all game?
getting across mid field seemed impossible
MS should be blamed for the loss they were his turn overs
his play kept them from putting points on the board
when you only have two chances to score make them count

Sanchez- I used to like him a lot. Now I think I could play QB better. Bench him until he can be traded.
Soprano-deserves to go for such an inept and predictable offense and play calling
Tannenbaum- some pretty poor off-season work/lack of work and not the best draft talent evaluator.
Rex- May be forced to go although I love him ; he is TOO loyal a players coach and can't see how badly Mark Sancez really is

JOE… I like your insight on MS, in fact I feel just about everyone in here is on the same page when it comes to MS. I believe that his contract is based on performance and his performance as a QB is the worst in the league for the past several years. It would surprize me if he did not get intercepted this week against another "YOUNG TEAM" rebuilding with draft picks such as the RAMS are doing. If all notice Mr. Luck for Indie is winning games they are out playing all but Houston and the Ravens. Payton Manning has Denver in 1st place. Was a great move for both teams. As for us, the Jets coaches like old players instead of good draft picks and we do get a good draft pick he is on the bench. Time to reverse that and put the young

The cost of our 3 QBs is $$$$. This is what it costs to carry 3 QBs and we have a losing record and embarassing offense. If we start McElroy to give him a chance to show what he can do it will cost us the same $$$$. We are not losing money by sitting Stinkchez the cost is identical. I am not ready to anoint McElroy as the next Montana. I do think it would be a good idea to find out before we release him and he is a major success for another team. 9-22, one interception, and one fumble along witha childish sulking attitude. Can we do worse?

Spicer, Does make a point, our Cap next year figures to make next season potently worse, I'm sure what's fueling Rex to stick by MS/Holmes in hopes both play better,NO choice there, one more attribute MS lacks, extending plays with his feet, I was one of very very few to say Schotty wasn't our problem I was lambasted for that one as well. I constantly reminded fans Schotty threw his whole coaching style out the window and dumbed down the playbook for MS, He at least got us to playoffs and above 500, running game with Greene fantastic, in spite of MS, With Same O-line same guy's on D you know old guy's,MS is not only dragging players down he's dragging us down Financially. losing Callahan was another mistake
By scjoe on Nov 13, 2012 | Reply
What's getting lost in all of this is the fact that Mark Sanchez is laughing all the way to the bank each week when he picks up his pay check. He fully understands that no matter how terrible a job he does, that pay check remains the same. How many jobs out there today where that can be said? Only in America can you pay someone so very much to do so little!

Cont. so ultimately Schotty and Callahan became casualties or scapegoats for bad decisions made by Mike-T and company, I personally would have fired Pettine, conditioning coach and our scouts, long before letting Schotty and Callahan go, what's the use we all can talk common sense till blue in the face, this will not change any time soon, we are lock in from GM mistakes . When you really think about it, Rex can't possibly believe any more then us, MS is our best chance to win,What I believe start Gmac if he proves to be our guy, some how rework MS contract, Holmes will be impossible he'll just start whining and sulking and refusing, I'd try maybe he'll ask to be traded. wishful thinking

Not being in that building, and not knowing without a doubt exactly who is calling all the shots (WJ? T-Bum? Rex?) I will give Rex the benefit of the doubt. It is just so very hard for me to believe his position on Mark Sanchez. If it were a bad performance here and there that would be one thing, but week after week after week after week, season after season? There has to be an underlying factor, Salary? Playing time? Contract issue? One thing I am certain it can not be is "Mark gives us the best chance to win" Anyone who has been watching this team for any length of time could tell you that. C'mon people, no matter which of you is making the decisions, do the right thing.

Kleckofan – i agree with you on the Mets. Jets should have been doing the samething but Rex is too Buddy Buddy with his vet players like Scott, Pace, and some other guys. Rex is turning into BUddy as it turns out. Good DC bad head coach. i heard he was crying again in the lockeroom after the game AGAIN. this is not head coach material. we need a disciplinarian who the players respect, fear, and strive to win his acceptance. its like training a dog. they may like you but if you cry and show weakness they will not respect you. The cap article suggests a very plausible explanation for the debaucle this year. if I were the coach at this point i would put in McElroy and see what eh can do. it can't be much worse. (cont)

Spicer, re" your comments on Tebow's playing time, if that were the case, wouldn't the Jets FO be aware of that fact when they went out and gave up 2 valuable draft picks to make the trade? Why would they bring him in knowing that if he has a "certain" amount of snaps during the season he will be due 10 Mil in 2013? What would be the point? What would they have done had MS gone down for the season in game #1? I would be the very first to agree that this FO is lacking, big time, but could ANYONE be that incompetent? I find that hard to believe.

(cont) we may be stuck with Sanchez and his bloated contract for another year, holmes too but that doesn't mean we need to hinder development of our young guys. Put Mcelroy in see if he is a legit backup or maybe you strike the lottery and hes a tom brady waiting to jump out of the box. sanchez is taking this team backwards. I say start McElroy and see what he can do. by that point the Tebow cap issue should be a non factor. then you can split snaps between them. development them both for a trade or potentially to keep (Mcelroy keep) and (tebo Trade). Then you have a legit QB competition next offseason. this will bring out the best in all QB's. maybe Sanchez saves face and we can actually get something in trade for me but doubt it.

Two great seasons and we go 8-8. Steps to correct this, doable and very obvious in the off-season. To all except T-baum. FIRST thing he did last off season was to pay Hunter a multi million dollar roster bonus to keep him. Does that make sense to anyone here ? We have a QB thats future is uncertain what does he do EXTENDS him WITH a huge contract… money way beyond his skill level. Folks we are stuck with MS as the owner will not be pleased to see him benched with MILLIONS and MILLIONS in guar. money and an untradeable enormous contract. Does this make sense to anyone here ? A viable #2 in order to step in if MS again melts down, an obvious off season move. Tebow?? come on…

A QB so sure of his skillls as to enter the draft early now ready to join the legions of players who were stars their whole lives only to meet the harsh reality of the NFL. An organization that refused to see the evidence that was right before their eyes, and take the obvious coarse .

If I kept doing something at work that was costing my job money over and over again..I would be fired…So why is Mark still the starting QB? He's not the solution, he's the problem along with the HC and GM. Mark must have some secret pics of feet somewhere and is blackmailing someone, because there is no head coach in this league that would keep sanchez in the lineup week after week with his performance. Go ahead Rex…Keep saying that Mark gives the NYJ the best chance to win…because the players are not stupid…they watch the film too..and he's going to start division among the players by coddling mark.

Also yes I think the Jet front office is that stupid. Finally this has been said OVER & OVER & OVER. The Jets traded for Tebow to sell PSL'S, sell jersey's & to get publicity / the back page of the paper. They had no intentions of giving him serious playing time & if they did they already would have. Pleas read the article!

I fully agree the D was not the problem & that the lack of offence was basically what cost us any chance to win this game. I was actually impressed with how the fefence got after Wilson in the 1st half. If Sanchex & the Ogffence held up their end of things this game would have been interesting. Hello IRA, you o.k buddy?

Rex needs to understand his audience. The long-suffering, passionate Jet Fan has been thru the ringer so many times that we know garbage when we see it. It's become so obvious that Rex has no answer for improving this team's performance. His words are empty and the team is playing worse every week. If a coach can't make adjustments and get his team to respond then he doesn't deserve to be the coach. If a QB keeps making the same mind-boggling mistakes every game, then he doesn't deserve to be your QB. The fans are restless and all Rex keeps telling us is that he still believes in Santa Claus & the Easter Bunny.
Yes Virginia, they are the Same Old Jets!

Scjoe – regarding the Tebow contract and the big $$ that kicks in based on his snaps – I think the front office was crushed when Manning went to Denver so T-bomb felt compelled to make a big splashy trade, and the TT contract was a calculated risk. We'll learn more after the next game since 6 full starts is a magic number for Tebow's big $$. T-Bomb was under pressure to deliver this season and hopelessly BOTCHED it – this could be the nail in T-bomb's coffin. Rex is losing this team – his recent presser stated he asks his staff AND players how to fix things. Any team I've played on we expected the COACH to have all the answers… that's why HE IS THE HEAD COACH – Rex is one blowout away from a total meltdown I think !

I was at that game in Seattle. What a disgrace… I feel so bad for our defense. The D gave the team every chance they could for 3 quarters. I took a beating from the seahawks fans. I sware I was the last Jet fan in the stadium but I stood in the pooring down rain tell the game clock said 00:00. I wasn't going to leave my Team, but man it was brutal. This team has alot to figure out. I was in the Hawks nest and the Sanchez goal line INT happened right in front of me… That ball came out so late. Keller had called for it twice before that ball was thrown and of course Sanchez threw it late which allowed the CB to undercut the route. Just horrible! I'm a better Jet fan today for it though. Big changes need to happen, and fast!

Eli – of these free agents I'd keep Folk, Landry and long snapper Purdum.
Folk seems to be getting better. Purdum, just cause it's difficult to find a reliable long snapper. Landry's only negatives were his health concerns and his penalties – he's 100% healthy (so far) and I think the penalties come with a physical impact player of his caliber. EVERYBODY else on that list,, let em walk! Keller is a middle of the pack TE looking for a Gronkowski payday. Brandon Moore's play has been declining since his hip surgery – Howard looked good for one game and this team desperately needs a franchise guard and RT. We are stuck with Kyle Wilson, wonder if he could actually be a free safety pretending to be a corner?

BENNETT, welcome back dude, we missed you! As much as I dont want to see any more of Sanchez i cant go along with playing Tebow. First of all if theres any truth to the 10 mill contract thing we cant afford to pay him & Sanchex 30 mill next year!No way no how! Secondly, the Jet roster is nothing like Denvers last year. We simply do not have the wide recievers and r.b's neccessary to run the 'spread offence.You need the w.r's to keep the D from playing 8 to 9 guys in the box.Tebow is not fast enough to get outside and there is no way you can block 8 to 9 guys with 5 or 6. Lastly, we have no r.b's to fake to so the D simply has to go after Tebow on every play. How long do you think he will last getting drilled on every play? Mabey McElroy?

Rex is a much bigger problem than Sanchez. Sanchez is a high draft pick at a highly scrutinized position, who just happened to have good success his first two years piggy backed by a great D and O-line. Rex however road the coat tails of the Mangini Mr.T team with good drafting. I still say Favre lost Mangini his job.
Rex walked into town with the best o-line in football, great run game, a top notch run D and Revis already in place. If I was hired with that team in place I could of finished 8-8.
This is Rex's circus that he built. High profile player moves, predictions, and trash talk. Know body respects this organization, and I don't blame them. Thank god the Raiders are such a joke, it could be worse.

Couple things bother me.

Same game the got T-baum in the booth at half-time smiling and laughting and knocking the softball questions out of the park. Bothered me then really bothers me now. What kind of a team have we got here ?

Protect the ball curl up and go down DO NOT MAKE IT WORSE, with a ridiculous attempt to avoid it or an off balanced, hurried attempt to get rid of the ball.. TAKE THE DARN SACK IF YOU HAVE TO…. LEARN WHEN YOU HAVE TO. Watch Brady quickly fold like a cheap lawn chair when he knows it's going to happen.

Spicer/Byrdman, First off Tom, I know it didn't come from you directly. I read the article on the jets cap site and let me quote a very important paragraph in that article. "But the big one is Tim Tebow. Again I want to mention here that the information I have on Tebow is from his prior contract with Denver which I "assume" rolled over with the Jets, but I do not know for a fact if this is the case. So take this as a possibility and not 100% accurate". That was copied and pasted from the article and after reading it, it confirmed my doubts I originally had. Byrdman, I hear what you are saying about making a splash, but I think a 10 Mil calculated risk would be a little much.
By scjoe on Nov 13, 2012 | Reply
Just a follow up on that post re: the Jets cap website. While reading the article about Tebow's playing time, I glanced at the cap numbers for 2013. Here is what is interesting. The following players, Sanchez, Scott, Pace, Jason Smith and Eric Smith, if they are all released, would save $35 Mil in cap savings. Yes, there will be some dead money involved as well, but that is the price you pay for ineptness. From where I sit, none of those players would be significantly missed. So, the cap doesn't necessarily have to be a major concern in 2013.

SCNY, You are dead on in your comparison with Mark Sanchez, his big, fat, guaranteed salary, his job security and his lack of accountability with "most" of our reps in Washington. They to are grossly over paid, with no accountability, and no fear of losing their jobs, no matter how much they screw it up, or how little they accomplish. Again, only in America!
By scjoe on Nov 13, 2012 | Reply
Ron, I re read my post, not sure what you meant about confusion. What I said is the lack of speed in general, on the D is getting more exposed each week. I also stated that Pace should not be an OLB in a 3-4. What he is, and what he should be is a b/u DE in a 4-3. He has zero coverage skills, he lacks the speed to cover backs or TEs, OR to contain a QB who has any kind of mobility to speak of when he leaves the pocket. That is why he would be better suited as a DE in a 4-3 where he wont have all those responsibilities.

Greg McElroy went undefeated 16-0 and won the high school state championship in Texas. He went undefeated 14-0 and won the national championship at Alabama. He set records in high school and college, was voted one of the smartest athletes in America. If you study his stats you see he throws hardly any interceptions. He' a smart, winner, leader who knows how to manage a game and move the chains like a Dan Marino. His passer rating with Ala ended up at 158.5%. Why the NY Jets don't give him a shot is dumbfounding because he is deadly accurate. The Jets have nothing to lose getting him into the game to see what he can do being the season is shot. It's amazing but he's never been a loser He's a Chad Pennington and the Jets won't try him. SAD

Spicer, it is my contention that Rex did not want Sanchez, he did not want Tebow, he did not want Coples, he did not want Stephen Hill. He has to play the good soldier. Mike Tannenbum has the final say on all personnel decisions. The problem is T-bum is not a talent evaluator, he is a cap "specialist" and I don't even think he is capable of that. Until I see definite proof that that is not the case, Rex gets a free pass as far as I am concerned. On the latest "head scratching move?" How was Aaron Maybin the next coming of Lawerence Taylor last year, and gets cut after 9 games this year? Did he all of a sudden forget how to rush the passer?

Spicer: Glad to see that you've come to grips with some of the real reasons that this team is so bad and can now freely admit that ya boy Sanchez is done. But what are you seeing now that many of us saw over a year ago? Is it the lack of NFL QB fundamentals? The inaccurracy of just about every pass he throws? The poor pocket presence? The fumbles? The untimely interceptions? That puzzled look on his face? The total lack of improvement in almost 4 years? The inability to pre-read the D at the line? Or was it all of the above? It's just hard to watch Rex stand up and not look us in the eye while he preaches and praises about his belief in this failed experiment. It really doesn't matter how much money the QB makes. He's done.

Ron, Yeah all is good except for the Jets. Glad i am just happy to have a house standing after the storm. The Jets problems will sort themselves out after the year and if changes need to be made they will make them.
Just remember what i said during camp. This team has 8 win talent and if they stay healthy they maybe could win 9 and if they don't stay healthy 5-6. I never expected them to be a playoff team in my mind. My heart always feels different. Hope they can finish strong and see how the cards unfold.

As long as Sanchez plays in this league, you'll be reading stuff like this: "Keller ran a corner route and he was open for a split-second, but Sanchez's throw was late and lacked velocity, resulting in the interception. Sanchez tried a pump fake and appeared indecisive, and the delay was costly. He probably kicked himself watching the film because Stephen Hill was all alone in the back of the end zone. He stood there, under the goal post, with both arms raised. Sanchez didn't see him or didn't think he could get him the ball."

"A defensive starter tells the Daily News that Tim Tebow is "terrible." Per the report, more than a dozen players and members of the Jets believe Tebow is "simply not very good." The "prevailing thought" is that he's "nothing more than a gimmick." It's exactly what we suspected is going on behind the scenes. If Tebow was showing anything at all in practice, the Jets would have yanked Mark Sanchez by now. "It's not even close," LG Matt Slauson said. "All the other quarterbacks know it. I have all the confidence in Mark. We don't really have a choice." Of course, Tebow's skill set doesn't show well in practice or 7-on-7 drills". So basically 12 guys said Tebow is even worse than Sanchez. Only 1 of the 12 guys gave there name Matt Slauson but

College Coaches that seem to know how to motivate and sustain:
Chip Kelly (Oregon)
Bob Stoops (OK)
I would go with a college coach only if the team is prepared to go the rebuilding route, with youth thru the draft. Just like the Cowboys did when they hired Jimmy Johnson. If this teams keeps signing old free agents, no college coach is prepared to deal with that.
Like many have said, it's time to clean house and build a winner. New GM, HC, QB is a good start.

Anyway, we are in complete agreement about the lack of speed & the fact Pace is not a O.L.B He was lined up as a D.E in the 2nd half when he kept losing his outside contain as Wilson ran circles around him.He was actually converted by the Cardinals to o.l.b after failing as a D.E. As for Maybin, I said this over the summer that he was simply a one trick poney.He had great straight ahead speed so if the o.l didnt get a hand on him he could run past them.Unfortunately, teams quickly adjusted to him and he was basically ineffective since late last year.

Is he really so unsuited to the NFL that he cannot be inserted in to any pro offense and be effective? Did the really not think of the contingency of the starting QB going down and Tebow stepping in, when the decsion was made to trade for him and plan offensive changes ?

A guy who sees the playing field for about 4 or 5 plays a game, instead of looking in the mirror and judging their own performance is bush league at best. Tebow is not the reason this team is 3-6 and heading South at a rapid pace, it is you "anonymous" players that are responsible for that.

Wow read the article from the Daily News. These are a few of the quotes in regards to Tebow. "He's terrible," a defensive starter told the Daily News." "
"It's not even close," Slauson said. "All the other quarterbacks know it. We dont really have a choice" ""We have Greg . . . and we have an athlete," Slauson said"
To most of the people in the organization, Tebow is nothing more than a specialty player who doesn't have the requisite skills to be a true quarterback in the league. "We don't look at him as a quarterback," another starter said. "He's the Wildcat guy." But most members of the Jets don't believe that what they saw from Tebow last season is sustainable. "We can't win running that sh–," one player said. "

As far as there defense of MArk hear is what the article says. The organization has factored Sanchez's weak supporting cast of skill position players into the equation.

Plus a T.E who can hurt you as well. Throw in three R.B's who are better than anyone we have plus a better O.l & its easy to see why he had some success in Denver.

Obviously anyone who endevers to coach at N.D is putting himself on the hotseat as expectations there are off the charts! As for the Penn St. posisition, no one expected them to have a winning season much less be in contention for a Big Ten title.Considering the sanctions placed on them, the loss of key players who transferred out and implementing a new regime I have to say the guy has done an unbelievable job to date.Both these coaches have NFL experience as well.

I was exited when the Jets picked McElroy because I thought if given the chance, he'd show up Sanchez and we'd get to see what a real winner looks like. Rex wouldn't let that happen. I've been down on Rex for just as long and for the same reasons. Just not seeing it. Lose the stats and catch up to the real world. Say something insightful, not just regurgitated news clippings.

Rex is not a SB caliber HC he's too soft, but he's not going anywhere so lets load up on some stellar draft picks while headed for the AFC basement. It will all be worth it if Jets draft (for example) Manti Te'o the Notre Dame LB – this kid is a relentless beast! That's where I'm at right now, amid the foul stench of all these disgusting, sordid details that emerge – I choose to focus on a draft day Pot of Gold :D

To the JET DREAMERS REGARDING McELROY it MEANS ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING THAT HE WON IN HS OR COLLEGE (ESP AT ALABAMA WHERE THE TALENT BASE ALONE WINS GAMES -SEE Sanchez at USC )One of the MOST IMPORTANT SCOUTING CRITERA for a QB is CAN PROSPECT MAKE ALL THE NECC THROWS( A qb doesnt have to be TERRY BRADSHAW BUT HE STILL MUST BE ABLE TO MAKE ALL THE THROWS ) .McELROYs arm strnght is TERRIBLE (remember CHAD PENNINGTON )The only reason to play THE GAME IS TO WIN THE SB .To win the SB we need an ELITE QB The JETS CANT AFFORD TO WASTE MORE TIME AND MONEY ON A GUY WITH Mcelroys limitations as they NEED TO DRAFT A QB ASAP

ps McElroys LACK OF ARM STRENGTH pushed him to the back of the draft If one were to research ALL THE SB WINNING QB AND THE ROUND THEY WERE TAKE I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY MOST (other than TOM BRADYRT STAR BA )IF NOT ALL WERE EARLY ROUNDERS

Mr. Joe–I'm a G-MAC believer but that beside the point. If we had a guy with a peg leg, one eye and four fingers on his throwing hand, I'll be calling to play him instead of M.S. Maybe G-MAC doesn't have M.S. arm strength but what good is that arm strength when you can't find or hit your target. The reason why some of us want to see McELROY is to determined if we need to draft 3 or 2 QB next year.(IMO– ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL G-MAC WOULD BEAT OUT M.S.) ——————————————————————————————————————-NOW THIS THING WITH TEBOW—-THEY ARE SIMPLY LOOKING FOR A SCAPEGOAT FOR A LOUSY YEAR–LETS NOT READ TO MUCH INTO IT.

Joe, if the Jets cut Sanchez they save $4.3 Mil against the cap in 2013. However, there will be more then $17 Mil in "dead money" Holmes? They will save $1.4 Mil against the cap and the dead money will be more then $11 Mil. Pretty sad situation right?

Joe, although I can't disagree about McElroy's arm strength, I feel it would be less of a burden that Sanchez accuracy, leadership, maturity, and pocket presence issues. Can he take us to a SB? Maybe not, but lets see what he can bring to the table. We already know what we got, and it aint very good.

Montana,third round,weak arm,Super Bowl winner,Brees,weak arm,Super bowl winner,Brad Johnson,low round pick,weak arm,Super Bowl winner.McElroy never plays with the number ones,how do we know what he can do.More to quarterbacking then being able to throw the ball through a brick wall.

At present I live in Cape Coral, FL. Today in the News-Press of Fort Myers, FL "GRUDEN AND EDWARDS" both made comments about TT and the more I read the artice, the more I realized what they said was correct. TT reports to work every day. He puts 150% of himself into improving himself in all catagories. Both stated: he has no playing time, and when they do use him, every team knows what is going on and is ready for it. He should be put in as QB and given a chance, can TT do any worse then Sanchez this late in the season. MS gets worse the more he plays, he has become gun shy because of how many times he has been hit, sacked, fumbled, and intercepted. Both "GRUDEN AND EDWARDS" feel he should be given a shot. I sorta agree with this

JetBlue, "Don't judge a fan's knowledge based upon the number of posts he has" I am not sure where you got from my comment to come up with this statement. I said "You have not been with us long enough for me to bring up your misses on players." Which means that you have not been writing posts on this site long enough for me to mention the players you missed on. Also to your "lose the stats & the news clippings posts & you will value what I have to say". Listen BUDDY I have been posting hear since day 1 & I talk about all things Jets every position & every player. This is what YOU DO come to this site 1 time & talk about something OTHER than how poorly Mark Sanchez played then MAYBE I will respect what you have to say!

JOE, Like S.C.Joe I am inclined to see what MacElroy can or cant do? Its amazing how simular his scouting report was to the guy the Bengals drafted that year. Andy Dalton had pretty much the same rap about arm strength & less tha ideal size and speed.The difference between Dalton & Mac is Dalton played in a system where he was featured and allowed to better develope his skills.Mac played in a system where he was treated as a game manager like Sanchez has been with the Jets. I doubt Mac would turn out to be as good as Dalton but would it hurt at this point to find out if he could be at least a viable back-up?Sanchez has lost whatever confidence he may have had & Tebow is simply not an NFL Q.B.

Jet64 Frank – I'm with Gruden, for 2 reasons:Give Tebow some extended play at QB if he's horrible, bounces throws to open guys or throws pick's etc you suppress or kill much of the Tebowmania. If he flashes some good throws and looks capable you may get trade offers. Not convinced Tebow's a bust or franchise QB, somewhere in between. Coach Fox is overrated – that O was 1 dimensional – they didn't realize that Tebow actually throws a nice deep ball. Denver's system made him look bad. It's in the Jets best interest to showcase his strengths – he doesn't hit the short quick timing routes that Manning has built a career on. Also -Nobody here has ripped McElroy more than I have but, Lets see what we've got one way or the other with GMac too

Joe,look up the rounds where Unitas,Dawson,Starr were drafted,I know it is a different era but you also mentioned Namath,Bradshaw,Stabler from the same era.Sorry, arm strength is not the top criteria when judging a top flight quarterback.

Comparing McElroy to Pennington is ridiculous. Pennington is ten times the QB that McElroy ever will be. Sanchez is the only viable QB on this team. He has above average arm strength and can make any throw on the field. The problem is that the two OC's that Sanchez has worked under refuse to make their playbook fit into what he does good and just expect him to make THEIR plays work. Sanchez is a deep ball, shot taking QB. Under ideal circumstances he would be taking 5-10 deep shots down the field every game. Even if he only completes 30% of them thats three deep bomb TD's every game. It's not bad throwing 1 INT a game if you are taking shots like that down the field. Running for 2 yards on 1st and 2nd down every series doesn't help.

The playcalling on offense is the most predictable I have ever seen. I hated Schotty and can't believe they actually found someone worse. Under Schotty guys would twirl around before the snap and make themselves dizzy moving back and forth for nothing. Under Sparano 1st and 2nd down consist of running into the back of the center and tackle for 1-2 yards. Then on 3rd and 7 throw a slant to a double covered receiver. 3 and OUT. OVER AND OVER. The playbook is from 1965. No deep double moves or cross patterns. IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN UP THE MIDDLE EVERY PLAY WHY NOT PUT 3 WR OUT WIDE TO MAKE SOME ROOM??? THIS O-LINE CANNOT MOVE 8-9 GUYS OUT OF THE BOX.

As bad as they are o0n game day I am rooting for them to win, but alas! the disappointment in ther bad management, bad playing and MS. "GRUDEN AND EDWARDS" article today made sense about TT, if you can go to NewsPress.com fFort Myers, FL and read the article you will see where I am coming from. Both of them feel TT should get some playing time. I agree Jet Players are tired of him being a favorite with the sports writers and that why the players are at this point of bad mouthing him. It's time to see what he can do behind the center,

Sanchez, Ryan and Tannebaum are all going to be here for a LONG TIME. Get used to it. I'll be in section 315 with my Sanchez jersey on watching him take us to the Superbowl this year and going 6-1 the rest of the season.

WOW.. Joedefiant. You may be right. But I sure hope not. REX has shown his lack of leadership, as for Sanchez, bench him, as for Mac none of us can say what he will bring to the offense, nor will we til ha gets behind the center. 64 Tom, I'm not that far behind you in TT being the answer, but like 2 very good coahes stated,(GRUDEN and EDWARDS) either he will bust or become trade worthy by giving him some full playing time. As for MS with his record, I do not know of any NFL team that would give up a 4th round pick for him. I feel REX is gone this year along with Sparano and others. In the next 2 games we have the Rams at home, NE at Jersey tough games. Sparano has the nerve to say the offense is improving, Mike Petine says where

I'm guessing you're pouring it on with the Sanchez, Rex, Tbomb comments. Mark's career here may be salvaged, if he could eliminate the TO's and bump his comp.% up 8-10 points. Rex writes too many bad checks with his bold declarations and his questionable player talent evaluation. This season ended day one when Rex trotted out the slowest starting LB's in the NFL his pleading/crying post Seahawk meltdown blew his credibility – Tears are fine if your battling cancer (Pagano) T-bomb's botched drafts/deals,contracts have driven a stake through the heart of this franchise

Agree w those above (Eli, Ron, Spice, SCJoe) who say play McElroy. Yes, the SB is the goal, but let's evaluate talent in the meantime. Why waste the opportunity to play unknowns. If McE is so horrible why is he on the roster? His remarks last season would have been the ideal time to jettison him.Mark is not getting us there, so we should fold up our tents and sulk?
Lets move on.

JOE – Greg McElroy is the new Brett Ratliff – 2 or 3 years a go a kid named Ratliff flashed in pre-season against opponents who are selling car insurance today. I have no idea where Brett is, don't think he's on any NFL roster. I like G-Mac, glad he's a backup QB on this team – he's extremely smart, broke the record on the wonderlic (or close) If Sanchez went down for a couple games, I'm very confident Greg could come in and manage the game, might even win one. Scouting college QB's as potential NFL stars, backups and busts is NOT an exact science. But, in the modern era "Football Velocity" or arm strength is the closest thing to the YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE sign at amusement parks – Greg is just a little shy of that mark.

Mr. Joe, please read this:: Left guard Matt Slauson, who has repeatedly supported Sanchez, made it clear that the fourth-year signal caller is the Jets' best quarterback "It's not even close," Slauson said. "All the other quarterbacks know it. I have all the confidence in Mark. We don't really have a choice."
When asked about the team's two other quarterbacks on the depth chart as possible alternatives- Tebow and Greg McElroy —Slauson clarified that the Jets really have only one other quarterback."We have Greg . . . and we have an athlete," Slauson said.

JOE, again you would have had to read some of my older posts to know this, but i was one of the guys who had concerns about MacElroys arm strength prior to this season. Now, that being said I do think his arm strength is not as bad as you say it is. He was compared to other Q.B's in his pre-draft scouting reports and there are quite a few Q.B's playng in the NFL today who had simular reports. Hey, I am not saying he is a future superbowl Q.B. None the less, as Sanchex has regressed to the point of being completely useless,& Tebow is clearly not a long term soloution, why not give the kid a chance to show us what he can do? Armstrength aside, can he be a viable back up? Do we need 1 ot 2 Q.B's this off season?

You gotta be a real idiot if you think Mason and Plax are gone because "they spoke up against Sanchez". They were let go because they are OLD and SLOW. If they were so great why did 31 other teams pass on them?
And Schotty? Comon. Rex just schooled Schotty. Get over him. No matter what Sparano turns out to be, he is an upgrade from Schotty.
