Mark Sanchez ready to be top-tier quarterback for New York Jets - NYPOST.com
CORTLAND — Some people question whether Mark Sanchez is the best quarterback on his team. The Jets quarterback believes he can be one of the 10 best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Sanchez left SUNY-Cortland yesterday feeling good about how he played in training camp. Asked if he agrees with linebacker Bart Scott’s assessment this week that he can be one of the 10 best quarterbacks in the league, Sanchez did not shy away from it.
“Sure,” Sanchez said. “You’ve got to think that. You’ve got to play like that. As soon as you step out there, you’ve got to be the baddest guy out there, the toughest, the best, the most accurate and you’ve got to want to win.”
The fourth-year quarterback had a strong camp. He showed a command of new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano’s offense, a zip on his throws and leadership in the huddle.
Unofficially, Sanchez completed 94-of-180 passes (52.2 percent) during team drills in camp with five passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, seven interceptions and was sacked 20 times.
And, a bit more hilarity:
Tebow had an inconsistent camp. His passing seemed to improve as camp went on, but then he had his worst day yesterday, going 2-for-10 with an interception and four sacks. Overall in camp, Tebow unofficially went 53-for-109 (48.6 percent) with two passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns, three interceptions and 29 sacks.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said Tebow completed around 65 percent of his passes if you add in 7-on-7 drills.
