The 2012 season: the Jets [Mod Edit: STILL] suck

[Tunescribe]

heh...only in NY...the FRONT PAGE of Patriot Hater Central....

The kicker at the bottom of the page identifies this story as an "exclusive." I'm surprised Fox News and CNN haven't picked up on it ... Ohhhh, I get it! Fantasy fodder for those legions of basement-dwelling Jets fans.

I'm sorry but I don't believe a word of any of this.
I'll bet anyone a large coffee that Sanchez is starting for the Jets next year.

Their only hopes are:

• they find someone stupid and desperate enough to trade him to
• cut him, and hope they find enough desperate FA's that they can fill out their roster on the super-cheapo (oh, and don't forget a QB or three!)
• they get their sugar daddy Goodell to raise the cap for 2013 or give them some sort of sweetheart exemption

Guess which one is the most likely. :bricks:

But yeah, outside of those possibilities, they're stuck with Sanchez like a case of herpes.

Great news for fans around the league:

“Everything that I’ve learned at this position in this league has been from Mark,” McElroy said, in comments distributed by the Jets’ PR staff. “He’s the guy that I’ve seen every day. Every day that I’ve been an NFL player, I’ve been looking up to him. I’ve been observing him and trying to follow after his lead. I’ve been watching him. I understand how to play this game because of him.”

This gif on JI was supposed to be indisputable evidence that Sanchez was a victim of a bad snap casting blame for the turnover on Mangold.

All I see is a low manageable snap that Sanchez catches and then drops on the ground as if it were a giant hot potato...:confused2:

They might have to throw in Revis if they want any team to even remotely consider a trade for Sanchez. Sanchez has some clipboard holding skills and Revis would be an asset for many teams.

Revis plus a year's supply of NY's best bagels, pizza and canolis. Seriously, I don't see any team other than Sanchez' alma mata USC picking him up to help them as an assistant coach/scout. The guy is damaged goods much like Ryan Leaf and will soon be out of the NFL. I don't think he's good enough to be a back up let alone a starter. At least Tebow has some size and speed and can possibly be converted to a FB/TE for a team in the NFL.

in before McElroy has 6 turnovers per game.

Butt Fumble has ruined Mark Sanchez

He's always been bad.

But the butt fumble. The dreaded butt fumble. Sanchez must still be having nightmares about that play. His confidence is completely GONE. I think he has post-traumatic stress disorder after the butt fumble. Every time he drops back now, he's worried about a big green ass hitting him in the face.

He's more nervous in the pocket than ever before. Threw 4 INT's against the lowly Titans, and is now being benched and talked about being traded to a team that needs a back up.

Chalk up another Jets Top 10 pick that turned out to be a bust. Chalk up another USC QB bust. Sanchez is done. He will be forever remembered for the butt fumble. It was the DEFINING play of his career. NFL Network keeps showing the butt fumble when they talk about Jets QB problems.

There is "The Catch".... "The Immaculate Reception"... and now Jet fans have there very own legendary play. The Butt Fumble.

No, his work ethic and inability to comprehend did all that on its own.

Yes. I think it's more accurate to say the buttfumble was a defining moment summing up his body of work. it wasn't a fluke so much as an result of accumulated bad habits.

That said you can almost — and I emphasize almost — feel bad for the guy. Hard to imagine a more embarrassing play, even worse than a pick six in the Super Bowl. But if he had enough focus to remember what play HE HAD JUST CALLED it never would have happened.

So the Jets are either going to start McElroy in 2013 or trade low (hopefully high ) for Vick, A. Smith, or Flynn. I think they could be a 10-6/11-5 team with Smith at QB, but hopefully they get Vick, it would be an epic disaster I'd love to watch.

What's hurt Sanchez

1. Immaturity coming out of college too early
2. Modest physical talents compared to other 1st round QBs
3. Fragile football psyche atypical of self confident QBs
4. Mediocre IQ, especially football IQ
5. Slacker work ethic compared to the elite QBs
6. Mediocre work habits not addressed by coaching staff who conversely spent effort shielding fragile psyche from (needed) criticism
7. Distraction of NYC media and biggest city lifestyle (see 1, too immature to overcome)
8. Lack of competition in training camp to motivate better personal preparation
9. inept offensive coaching and player development
10. Toxic team culture (i.e. simply being a Jet) exacerbated by buffoon HC

This "Perfect Storm" has combined to make his on field performance deteriorate rather than improve. No wonder when you think about the above list.

Gawd I hate having to defend the Sanchize in a Rats suck thread, but if the RB (Powell?) doesn't kick the ball, then he probably DOES fall on the ball and maintain possession.

Can't help but think that Sanchez could spend 20 hours studying tape, and come away with it with less than Brady or Peyton would studying for 2 hours.

Awesome thread. The Texans fans totally "get" the Rats.

I'd add one more thing: Having his team freakishly sneak into the AFCCG his first two years either overshadowed or exacerbated each item on that list.

Even today I hear Breer on the radio saying the Jets can't shake up management because their leadership got them to the AFCCG two years in a row. Yeah, you go on thinking that and we'll keep enjoying the show.

You could also consider that rather than defending the Sanchize, I was just pointing out the elaborate "synchronized suckage" that the Rats were able to flawlessly execute.
