PromoTheRobot Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Those quotes sound more like a fan from a message board than a team official. Yeah, who wouldn't want a healthy 36-year old Peyton Manning who just had a couple of neck surgeries? The question is how healthy is he really? Enough to play in the NFL? But I guess having the Manning Bros. In NYC makes a great story. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I do love to see the Jets squirm and struggle. I am also not a huge Sanchez fan. But in fairness to him, the failures of this team are not his fault. Sanchez has some good qualities, like great pocket presence and the ability to avoid pressure, and the ability to play well late in games in clutch situations. Obviously his decision making is a huge weakness. He is not an elite QB, but if he was coached properly he could certainly be a winning one with the amount of talent on that team. This all comes down to coaching. Rex Ryan is a head case, and obviously can't control the locker room. I don't see how that can be good for a young QB in any case. More importantly Schottenheimer was simply an awful OC, and the play calling was ridiculously bad. As a Bills fan I am sad to see him leave our rival.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's deeper than that. The fact that so many Jets players feel content to air their internal grievances publicly points to a tremendous state of dysfunction within that franchise. It went on all year last year, and it's going to get worse before it gets better. Which is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Sanchez is biggest reason for the Jets failures. His deep throwing accuracy is horrible. i think he is the worst starting QB in league. not surprising that his teamies have lost faith in him.

section122 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't know about this story. The quote begins "that's a no brainer, who wouldn't want a healthy Peyton Manning?" Which leads me to believe this story is a classic out of proportion out of context story. Think about if any player on any team save for maybe NO, NE, GB, and a couple of others was asked if they wanted Peyton to be their QB. If the Bills were asked I would hope our players could recognize that a healthy Peyton is better than Fitz. Much ado about nothing imo. This story boils down to Jets player thinks Peyton is better than Sanchez which is not earth shattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not good in college either. This is all you need to know about Sanchez. He could not even beat out John David Booty when they were at SC together. In spring practices Carrol practically handed the job to Sanchez but he was not even good enough to beat Booty out. What you see is what you get with this guy. He is just a better looking version of Fitz imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) The real story within a story is that Rex couldnt prevent schottenheimer from getting pushed out and wouldnt put his nuts on the line when push came to shove. He's billed himself as mr loyal, mr players coach, mr we're in this together. Now that that myth has been busted watch plenty of other rats leave the ship. Ulimately rex's position is in serious jeopardy now Edited January 11, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 For those questioning the use of unnamed sources, what the hell is the reporter supposed to use? None of the players are gonna speak without a promise of anonymity. The Daily News is a legit paper with a very good sports section (the best in NYC, actually), and I trust the article. Most importantly, it makes obvious sense (meaning I can easily see numerous Jets players reacting in this way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester43 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 i hate the jets too, but there is something about players anonymously skewering their teammates in the media that makes me sick to my stomach. whatever sanchez' issues are, i bet he's got 10x the character of the guy who made those comments.

tennesseeboy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 it is always nice to dissension and dissarray on any team in our division. I'm not sure whether going after Manning is a good or bad idea for them, but as long as the concept causes rift and disunity I'm happy with the conflict!

Bills!Win! Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Favre didn't work for them and neither did Sanchez. I'd laugh if they get manning because every great qb they try to get always ends up fading away for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester43 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 no me nether, but i just thought that was really slimy. i guess it's not totally unexpected though, considering they all assumed they were wining the super bowl this year. the backstabbing is happening faster than i thought it would and it's a direct reflection of toe-sucking gasbag that coaches them.
