Mark Sanchez named New York Jets starter
 
The NY Jets: The gift that keeps on gifting.... :D

Mark Sanchez named New York Jets starter - NFL.com

Quote:

Mark Sanchez will start at quarterback Sunday for the New York Jets against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team announced Wednesday morning.


Sanchez was benched last Sunday in favor of Greg McElroy, who threw a touchdown pass in the Jets' 7-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

The Jets' third quarterback, Tim Tebow, is recovering from broken ribs.

Maybe the Rats just decided that the higher draft pick is more important now and Mark Sanchez gives them the best chance to lose.

:confused2:

Please, please please let the Jets-Jags game be televised here Sunday. Should be epic as The Sanchize battles one of the NFL's true powerhouses. You just KNOW the pick will come. You KNOW it!

Rex is putting his job on the line. Woody wanted to start McElroy. Tannenbaum and Sparano wanted to stick with Sanchez...

McElroy may not be a franchise QB. But he is a game manager which is all that team needed Mark to be. He simply lacked the grey matter and temperement to be that. McElroy is a cool customer and so cerebral he likely scares the piss out of Sparano and Rex...

This is all about money and ego and the two guys who sold Woody a bill of goods. If the tailspin continues under what will now be almost unbearable pressure...Woody could well blow the whole thing up.

I already bought tickets for this game. Since our game is on Monday night, I figured I'd go to jeer the Jesters. Should I wear my Pats jersey? :cool:

Better yet, Sanchez may play just well enough to keep his job yet another week. The Jets may even beat Jacksonville. Then they'll be 6-7 and start talking playoffs again. Rex will start to get his swagger back. He'll think the team is better than it is. They have @2-10 Jacksonville, @4-8 Tennessee, 4-8 San Diego, @5-7 Buffalo left. They could end up 7-9, quite possibly 8-8, possibly even 9-7. Just good enough to keep them thinking they're competitive, and give the current team another chance. Tanny will blow their draft picks, Rex will brag that they were really closer than people thought to being a playoff team this year, and the circus tour will continue.

God forbid that Woody fires Rex and Tanny, scraps the team, and gets a real coach and GM.

I have a couple of Jags t-shirts that I could wear for the game. But, being that it's the Jets, I feel obligated to put on my Pats jersey.

Must disagree with you here, Mo. McElroy has one quarter of NFL experience. Li'l Marky still gives New Jersey the best chance to win, especially on the road. Wrecks isn't rolling the dice, he's playing it as safe as he can.

What bears watching is Tebow's status. It will be real interesting if McElroy is inactive.
