58 thoughts on “Jets Release Mark Sanchez”

  1. Sanchez, former SUCC QB: 68 TD’s, 69 INT’s in 62 NFL games. What’s really shocking is the Raider’s passed on him and signed former Tixian Matt Staub (could be a sic here), who was QB wise, thoroughly abominable.

  3. I remember when Scottie got his panties in a bunch when Carroll suggested that Sanchez wasn’t ready for the NFL. I also remember most of Scott’s commenters being upset with Carroll as well.

    Then Scottie predicted Sanchez would do well in the NFL while Carroll would be fired from Seattle within three years.

    Scott’s predictive powers leave little to be desired.

    • I do give him credit for predicting the Big 3 on signing day this year, as well as Rosen to UGLY. Anyway, its all a crapshoot.

      • I’m delighted Josh Rosen committed to UCLA. He’s among the best and we Trojans enjoy playing the best. It’s time for you to bring some class to the table. What’s up with you living in a car?

    • George, I have trouble believing that Sanchez’s failure in the NFL (at least so far) is a function of his skipping senior year. The evidence is his deteriorating play After his first year.

      Sanchez would have been a fool NOT to leave, given his draft position. He chose a favorable year for himself. I don’t know what his issues are, but I highly doubt Carroll would have solved them, just as I highly doubt that QB coaching in the NFL lags that at Pete Carroll’s USC. Pat Riley once made a comment that I won’t forget: there is more coaching that happens in the first 5 minutes on an NBA game than in an entire college game.

      I think Scott objected to Carroll’s petulant loss of composure about
      Sanchez’s decision. That was so out of character for PC, and
      Scott wasn’t the only writer who made a negative comment.

      • There is a correlation bewtween the number of starts in college and success in the NFL. it is not perfect, and sometimes you get athletic freaks like Can Newton, who only started for one year, but someone like Sanchez, who is not an athletic freak, needed all the starts he could get.

        Sanchez’s downfall wasn’t skills but confidence, it seems, and it may have been the perfect storm of his gunslingeriness, which made him take risks that have little upside in the NFL, which then helped blow his confidence, and being on the Jets, where he had to deal with Brian Schottenheimer’s overly complicated offense, Rex Ryan’s rex-ryaniness, and a lack of skill position players to help him. Jericho Crochery? Please (And he was the best of a sad bunch that followed). Plaxico Buress? An over the hill Santonio Holmes?

        Maybe Carroll could have tamed the gunslingeriness out of him. Maybe he would not have been drafted by the train wreck that are the NY Jets.

    • Hey Bucket, did one of my posts just get deleted? OH, BTW, that’s a cool post. I think he did get a raw shot, but then again, he didn’t really prove himself.

      • He made it to the division championship his first two seasons. How did he not prove himself. I thought you would know a LITTLE something about a Trojan boy.

          • You are right. My bad on that one. Obviously, the Jets didn’t think he proved himself. Anyway, props to you on calling me on that.

    • Sanchez didn’t get a raw deal – he got what he deserved. He wasn’t prepared for the NFL and never should have left early. When he got there, the pressure to succeed was so huge (especially in NY) that he didn’t get the chance to develop like he needed. His only chance now is to latch onto a team as a backup and work his butt off with the QB coach to polish off his skills.

      • So he should’ve stuck around another year instead of taking the Jets one game away from the Super Bowl? You know more about football than he I guess.

        • Apparently I do know more about football than Sanchez – and count Pete Carroll in that group as well. Sanchez didn’t take the Jets to within one game of the Super Bowl – he was on the team but never carried the team. Since he’s been in the NFL Sanchez has shown he doesn’t have sound fundamentals. Professional sports is a marathon and not a sprint; history has shown if you are not prepared then you will be dropped, just like Sanchez has been.

          • Helen, he played pretty well at first. I’m not sure why he didn’t develop well after that. And neither are you, if you’re honest with yourself.

            He’s young. He’s rich. If he wants more than that for himself (and I hope he does, because internal goods matter more than external goods to the really smart people), he can pick himself up, and run a better race going forward.

          • You’re an idiot Helen. He took them to the division championship two years in a row. There are QBs that have been in the league forever that have never done it once. Learn a little something about football before you come at me, little boy.

  6. Sanchez: Never overcame butt fumble.
    Vick: Surprisingly, overcame mutt stumble.

  7. Somehow, a post similar to this got deleted……The trolls NEED to come here. They NEED to justify their existence and put down their rival because of their fragile egos. In sanctions, USC had 10, 7, and 10 wins per year. Try putting that on the bRUINS’ shoes. It would not even come close as far as the results. The trolls know this isn’t lasting. The sleeping GIANT is awakening. FIGHT ON!

  8. Sanchos got Paid and Laid (Eva Longoria) like a Trojan in the NFL! Fight on Mark!!!

    • No Sh!t, Palmer, Leinart and Sanchez have each had bigger paychecks than 99% of us here and all the trolls put together!

      • GT, I think Palmer’s NFL career can be distinguished from the other two.

        Plus, even Sanchez and Leinart aren’t peas in a pod. Leinart, great as he played at USC, probably didn’t have high-end NFL tools. Sanchez did, which raises different questions.
