... lol ...

... reports from those at camp have been sometimes positive, sometimes negative ... much as his performance over the past 2 regular seasons has been ... he looked very sharp though in his 2 drives in houston ... not much to go on yet though ...

... in general the third year is often a great barometer for qb's ... has he learned what he needs to? ... does he know his O like the back of his hand so that he's not worried about what they are doing and focused instead on the opposing D? ... is he making good decisions with audibles at the LOS? ... and most importantly, has the game sloowwweeeddd down for him? ...

... if he's not progessed on all of those fronts the jets will be hard pressed to repeat their last 2 seasons performance ... little less take a step forward ...

If we are talking one game....which team scares me:
Co-winners Chargers and Colts.

Chargers because the Pats just don't match up well with their roster. Those big WRs and attacking D line....match up nightmare for the Pats of the past. This year...Norv Away may actually work on special teams and have his team prepared week 1.

Colts: Manning....pure and simple. He'll find a weakness in the secondary and exploit it. I think their coaching level has dropped off dramatically. I think depth will always be an issue for them....but Manning is Manning and he can rattle off a dozen straight completions

So we're just going to ignore that the threw passes right to the other team? OK.

... thought i did a reasonably good job of explaining what he's done so far & what still has to happen for us to make that a step forward rather than backwards ...

... but ...

... specifically replying to INT's ...


... to improve sure he has to lower his actual INT's thrown as well as increase his TD's ...

... all qb's have potential INT's that opposing defenses drop (often that's why someone plays db rather than wr) ... and sanchez had his fair share ... certainly he has to improve this at a similar rate to actual INT's thrown ...
