And how good would our players be if we had Sanchez at QB and the jets coaching staff?
In the end, I agree that the jets are more talented than we are. HOWEVER, having Brady at QB and having our coaching staff makes our players to be better players, not more talented. We call this "team" and lots of other stuff. To me, it is coaching, leadership, and having the best QB in the nfl.
For example, I have ZERO question that if you swapped Brick and Light, their performance would be different playing for the other team. Light would look worse and Brick would look better. Brick would be a probowl LT for us and perhaps an elite LT.

BOTTOM LINE
As someone else put it, how many games per year you think it's worth to have Brady, Belichick and staff and Kraft. I think that we'd be 4 games a year worse with their ownership, coaching and quarterback.
But the teams are NOT 4 games different each year. One conclusion is that (on average) the rest of the players are better on the jets. We have some that are better of course (Wilfork, Mankins, Mayo) and they have some.
I think you're overestimating Ferguson, and underestimating Light. Although I rated them as "even" for purposes of consensus, I have ZERO question that Light's the better player. Brady is quicker with his release and moves well in the pocket, but Sanchez has more overall escapability, as we've seen fairly often in the 4 games since he came to the NFL.
And Ferguson is going to the Pro Bowl as a Jet, just as Light is going as a Patriot.
