So our offense has been terrible. We have allowed 12 sacks and only scored 9 points... in 8 quarters of football. The defense has been OK and they seem to be happily under the radar while the offense is torched on TV, the Radio, the Internet, and every deli in NY/NJ.
What I have seen from Sanchez over the past 5-6 times he has started an NFL game, dating back to last season, has been disturbing. He is playing scared. We have seen some great QB talents finish their careers before they ever really got started because of a weak offensive line. David Carr comes to mind and I would call the condition shell shocked. #6 has happy feet and no pocket presence. He holds the ball way too long and he doesn't have the ability to sense the rush. Wayne Hunter is getting attacked but I think D'Brick is just as guilty. Both tackles allow edge rushers to collapse the pocket consistently.
We can blame Schotty all day and all night, but Sparano has fielded the exact same offense and his play calling has been terrible. Sometimes I believe that the powers that be just can't accept that their draft choices are busts. I heard an interview with Jerry Jones about Felix Jones. He really believes Felix wasn't a waste of a 1st rounder.
If we brake down Mr.T's drafts he has had very few players that have worked out. He has also traded away a ton of draft picks. He can hang his hat on Mangold, Revis and Harris. Guys like Keller, D'Brick, Greene, Wilson, Ducasse, Kellen Clemens, Gholston and Sanchez are all guys that went in the first 70 picks of their respective drafts and are just not game changers. Two of them aren't even on the team anymore and at least 2 can be tagged as complete busts.
Obviously the jury is still out on Sanchez, but the verdict has been handed to the judge, he has accepted it and now the foreman is going to stand and speak. That's how close we are to Sanchez being done. If he goes out and gets his ass kicked again this week the pressure that will be on his back heading into the season opener will be impossible to overcome.
I was thinking about Tebow. This dude couldn't hit Stephen Hill as a stationary target wide open in the endzone from 20 yards out. Other than not being able to throw with consistent accuracy, he's not a bad QB. Thats like saying other than not being able to catch he's a good wide receiver. That being said, can you imagine is his accuracy and mechanics actually did improve? He would be a force to be reckoned with.
Seriously, he reads defenses at an average level considering his playing experience, and he does deliver a great pass from time to time. That tells me there is potential there. The question is will he ever be in the right environment to develop? I can say this much, NYC is not the place where most people come to learn how to perform at a high level, usually they are great once they get here.
