The run game got shut down big time and the Jets D could not hold the Pats under 30.
Our defensive pressure was a 1/2 second slower than the Ravens the game previous....hopefully it'll get better....the reason sanchez looked even passably pedestrian yesterday was he remained intact and upright for the most part...I maintain that when hit early, he turtles...and remains ineffective the entire game. This will occur many more times this season as other squads with better pass rushes than ours will blitz this little jumpin' Judy back to the Stone age.
Sanchez is above mediocre but not by much. I'd take Tony Romo ahead of him in a Regular season game. Sanchez has played very well in the playoffs... his great D makes him look better than he is imo

That's the list of all the starting QBs that teams had to start the year (obviously Peyton is listed only because he'd have been that starter barring injury). How many of them are definitely, or likely, worse than Sanchez? I find four, although I could see people arguing that Henne would have made five.
I'm not ready to put McCoy or Dalton over Sanchez. Smith either. Bradford isn't playing better either, although the potential is there. But I don't count potential. Cambell is the epitome of terrible. And I would take Sanchez over the aforementioned (in bold), so I came to nine.
Honestly Grossman isnt playing all that bad. The Redskins do lead the NFC East right now.

You're trying to have it both ways. If you're putting Bradford behind Sanchez based upon play this season, you can't have Sanchez ahead of Campbell. Campbell's numbers are better, his team's record is better, and he hasn't had any game approaching the type of disaster Sanchez had against the Ravens. Smith clearly falls in this category, as well.
Also, given that McCoy has a much lower INT%, despite having a lousy receiving corps, and their QB rating is only about a 2 difference, I don't see how you thin you can definitely/likely put Sanchez ahead of him. As a matter of fact, if you want to use the ESPN QBR stat (I wouldn't, but you might like it), Sanchez is currently ahead of only Gabbert and Kerry Collins as of this moment.

I've seen Cambell twice and Sanchez twice. Cambell played stupid against the Patriots. I can't see, in all his faults, Sanchez throwing either of those picks Cambell near hand delivered to the Pats right now.
I don't have complete information. Most of this is intuition and opinion. I'm not denying that. But, gut feeling, I'm taking Sanchez definitively over those nine QBs. For various reasons.
I don't take too much stock into QBR, either. Or any statistical rating. More so I judge the individual stats themselves.
