Re: OT:How did Sanchez go from defeating Tom Brady and Peyton Manning back to back...
Sanchez didn't play well in that Colts' playoff game. The Jets won despite of him. He completed 58.1% of his passes for 189 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT.
Personally, he is not as bad as the media and fans are portraying him now and wasn't as good as Jets fans and much of the media made him out to be before. He is a average to above average QB who is more of a game manager than a QB you can have carry the offense. I don't have the numbers now, but the numbers show that if he throws 30 or more times in a game the Jets are more likely to lose. This year, the Jets are 2-4 in games he has thrown over 30 times. One of those wins needed a Tony Romo implosion to win.
On a side note, I think Schottenheimer gets too much crap too. I agree he is not a very good coordinator, but I think he is creating an offense that hides Sanchez's obvious limitations and trying to exploit his strong point.
