Sure, The Sanchise played under control in the playoffs acquiting himself well. But if you accept some evidence you must accept all. His TD to INT ratio was terrible. He has not shown that minus a strong running game that he can win games consistently like a franchise QB can. Stating that The Sanchise is a franchise QB is gross homerism.
Your only counter to this should be that time will tell, but to criticize others now for not accepting this doofus as a legitemate franchise QB in the summer of 2010 is typical New York fan BS bravado. A big Red Light to you.
Why? Because it is good television. The legendary QB schooling the young future franchise. Welcome to Hard Knocks where they have to play to the cameras.
I will give you credit that you seem to be more objective than most Jets fans or any fan of any team. I agree with your concerns. I still don't buy some of the hype of Gholston and Cromartie though.
Every team have concerns. Listening to the Jets, their fans, and a lot of the media; they appear to have Pro Bowlers at every position. Clearly, that isn't the case. It is impossible to have that good of team in today's day and age.
Success? You are proud of being 9-7? That was our worst record in the last few years. 9-7 is horrible to us. Funny that you think it is the best.I could say the same thing about Pat fans, putting a blind eye to the Jets success last year and how most have chalked it up as luck.
Interesting. Which do you think shows his legit franchise QB potential more? His 53% completion rate, or his throwing twice as many interceptions as TDs?Stop with the pathetic biased hate, Pats fans.
Sanchez has shown plenty to show the potential of a legit franchise QB, if not more.
How come when you say it no one gets mad. Good lord, I've been burned at the stake.
It's been reported in many cases the cameras are unnoticed, particularly in offices and meeting rooms, coaches and players forget they are there.
I wouldn't be so quick to judge everything that happens "catering to the camera."
The Namath segment was interesting because he was genuinely upset, thought it was pretty interesting how involved he was in the meeting room. I'm sure Schotty Jr let Namath have his say, but I thought it was a neat exchange.

It ain't hate that you are hearing, dude. It's laughter.
The fact is, the Jets are very talented at many positions, and are deep as well. OL, RB, WR, CB, LB among them.

It's a long season, and nothing is won on paper, but there is a reason the Jets are considered a contending team this year, and it isn't just the hack media that are hyping them.
Can you read?
I said he had the potential to be...
Most unfocused: Jets. Of all the AFC East camps, the Jets were the least conscientious during my visit. This could be chalked up to the timing. I got to them last, and players had reached that antsy point where they needed a game. But the blithe atmosphere stood out to me nonetheless.
This could be a reason why having Hard Knocks at your camp is a bad thing. Tim Graham from ESPN rated what he saw from each of the AFC East camps and here is what he said about the Jets' camp:\

Where do you take the optimism from? Every QB throws Ints in bunches. If you take away his 3 worst Int games, based on throwing so few passes, the 8 that are left are a lot.Lord knows my disdain for the Jets, but I predict (barring injury) a stat line for Sanchez something like this:
58-62% completion
3000-3300 yds
17-20 td
14-16 int
Not a pro bowl QB yet, but he's going to improve. Last year he had three horrific games:
at NO: 14-27 (51.9%), 138 yds, 0 td, 3 int
vs Buf: 10-29 (34.5%), 119 yds, 0 td, 5 int
at NE: 8-21 (38.1%), 136 yds, 1 td, 4 int
TOT: 32-77 (41.6%), 393 yds, 1 td, 12 int
Not that you can do this, but without those games, Sanchez' td-int ratio is 11:8.
The reason I bring up that last point is that you expect these epic disasters from a rookie, who will show a lot of inconsistency. I expect some of that inconsistency to begin to straighten out as he matures. I don't expect him to ever put up Dan Marino-like numbers, but I do expect him to grow into a very nice NFL QB. He's got the tools...just needs the time, in my opinion.
That said, I hope he throws 35 picks this year.
You are mssing the point. The Jets were 9-7 and won 2 playoff games.First, ignoring the fact that if Indy had something to play for against the Jets in the regular season, the Jets could have been 8-8 or worse (if Cincy had something to play for) and missed the playoffs all together.
Second, I have given credit to the Jets for their run in the playoffs, but I still question if they are the mediocre team they were in the regualr season who caught lightning a bottle during the playoffs or have they taken the next step.
Third, I think you overstate the depth of the Jets. At RB, I think they have two pure RBs for depth (Greene and Tomlinson) and one has never proven he can carry the load all year and the other has been declining. John Connor seems to be a good pick up at FB, but he isn't a RB. If Revis doesn't come back, depth at CB is pretty shallow. I think the depth at o-line isn't as great as you think either. Other than the LG position, they have good starters but I don't know about the depth.
I am not sold on the Jets, but I don't think people thinking they are a contender. I have a problem with people thinking the road to the Lombardi trophy is destined to come through the Jets. Almost like the Jets have already won the Super Bowl and playing the season is a formality. Checking the Jets fans sites, I see plenty of Jets fans acting like this.
