        That's pretty brutal.
        Two QB's in their 3rd years where they both went 8-8:

        A: 308/543 (56.7%) 3474yds 26TD 18INT 6.4Y/A 78.2QBRating (plus 6 rushing TDs)
        B: 301/522 (57.7%) 3244yds 24TD 18INT 6.2 Y/A 77.0QBRating (0 rushing TDs)

        A is Mark Sanchez, B is Eli Manning.

        I see Sanchez' career and the reaction to his play and it's like re-living the mid-2000's with Eli.

        • Did Eli's own teammates make public complaints about him being lazy?

            • Also, let's not forget that Sanchez made it to the AFC championship game his first 2 years. Expectations were high.

              I think the biggest difference is that Elli's coach didn't proclaim it a "Super Bowl or bust" year.

              • He also has a 4-2 ROAD playoff record and a 94.3 playoff QB rating (9 touchdowns to 3 interceptions). Playoff Sanchez is beastly.


                Anyway, I saw this about Tebow

                  I saw the Bob Costas interview weeks ago and Rex Ryan clarified that he thinks every year is a Super Bowl year. He's not going to ever say, ehh we're rebuilding so 6 wins is what we're going for. I'm sure every coach has the same attitude just no one says it.

                  • Sanchez is playing with a historically excellent supporting cast, on the same level as the 2000-2003 Ravens, the 2006 Bears, or the 2008-9 Vikings.

                      Offensively? The offensive line is great but the runningbacks and receivers, not so much.

                      • Anyway, so much for that criticism. Now Jets' players and Woody Johnson are saying no way to the lazy allegations and rallying around Sanchez.

                        • If the Jets were mine, Ryan would be gone and Sanchez would be on the market, too.

                            • Rex Ryan is a blowhard who can't resist the camera. This year, it just served to paint a target on his team.
                              Serves him right.

                                If the Broncos had been yours, you wouldn't be in the playoffs now because you wouldn't have given Tebow a shot.
