There is not one person involved with this team who deserves to be employed by the jets or any other NFL team once this season ends.

Its the right decision for a couple reasons:
1) If you bench him for good, he will shrivel up and we will be eating his salary next year as a clipboard toter.
2) see how well he reacts to his benching, maybe it will open his eyes (but probably not)

Guarantee the rope will be shorter this week, if he sucks Rex won't wait till the 3rd quarter to yank him.

yeah, this should surprise no one.

the good news is this has Tanny written all over it so he should be sent packing at seasons end.

[Pac]

Barring a 9-7 miracle playoff berth (which will not happen) Rex RYn today signed the death warrant to his Jets' tenure. He again palces the ego of a sh*tty QB above the well-bring of the whole team. He cannot eb trusted going forward. He is for now the heac coach of the jets, not the valet for mark Sanchez. It's one thing to make the mistake of drafting Sanchez, but we're well past throwing good money after bad. Today's decision compunds those mistakes.

Just as well. the new regime will owe Pick 6 nothing other than a paycheck.

or Tanny told him to play Mark.

I disagree.

I think you need to bench him for at least a few games, if not the rest of the season, and see how he comes back next year.

This was nothing, he did not even miss one start, only a quarter and half of a game.

This is idiotic.

It proves that the entire FO, including Rex have no damn clue of what they are doing. None.

Even if this was Tanny's preference, what does it say about Rex if a) he is that easily persuaded, or he does not have enough say to pick HIS starting QB, or c) this actually was his call.

Regardless, we need to clean house.

[JFtoLong]

If so, what does that say about Rex?

[CrazyCarl40]

I bet you'll see a better Sanchez against Jacksonville, with something to prove. Thinking they smoke the Jags like they did the Bills/Colts.

Not saying we've seen the last of McElroy, but until they lose or completely eliminated from the playoffs, Sanchez is the guy.

[T0mShane]

My thoughts on the decision, and I'm probably going to get killed for this, but, I think Rex is thinking playoffs still, and he knows if they run the ball every single down the next 2 weeks they are pretty much guaranteed 2 wins, and at 7-7, and 2 more winnable games, one being another where they could win if they didn't pass the ball once against Buffalo.

If I'm right, and that's what Rex is really looking towards, the playoffs, he thinks Sanchez gives the team the best chance in the playoffs, Mark had gone head to head against Manning, and Brady in the playoffs, and beat them both, and outplayed them both in those 2 wins, and TBH if by some miracle the Jets do make the playoffs Sanchez is the only QB on the roster who could win a game, or two in the playoffs, he has proven that, and done after playing horrible going into the playoffs, the sad part is I think Rex is wrong in the thinking that Sanchez is the best option to get the team to 9-7 to have that slim shot at getting in, he needs a game manager who WON'T turn the ball over, and WON'T need to make many plays to win these 4 games, but again Sanchez is best QB if the Jets get gift wrapped a playoff spot these last 4 weeks. Mac's the man to get us the 4 wins the next 4 weeks, but Sanchez is the guy who can win the type of football you need to play in the playoffs, I don't see it happening either way thou, even if they got in Mark could get hot as balls, but he still wouldn't have the horses to make plays for him. And I see no chance in hell of him playing good football anyway in the playoffs if they got there, this is just my opinion on why Rex is going with Mark still, he is delusional, and still thinks this team is good enough to A get in the playoffs, and B actually win games if they got there.

No defense-first coach wants a QB that turns the ball over. They'd rather play the less dynamic guy that protects field position than play the guy who might be more talented but puts his defense on a short field twice a game. Rex intimated as much when he referenced Billick making the switch from Tony Banks to Trent Dilfer in Baltimore.

In 2013 Sanchez will be holding a clipboard and eating salary no matter what.

Absolutely correct.

This year is shot. He needs to take a step back and do some soul searching. Nothing good can come from having a couple more bad performances. Mark is going to be the starter next year and this is another in the long line of missteps the Jets have taken with his growth.

Tanny needs to go bye bye.

[Pac]

If so, what does that say about Rex?

That he listens to his boss like you and me?

[T0mShane]

Btw, Rec should call Eric Mangini to get his perspective on how wise it is to stay loyal to Tannenbaum

[faba]

Accountability you and me have it in our jobs- The Jets organization do not seem to want to

[Jetsouth]

Peter Schwartzof FAN reporting that "some Jets players" are not going to be happy about this decision.

Gmac ?

I agree, but so does Rex. If Rex is not smart enough to know how to develop a QB, which he has shown over and over again, or if he is not powerful enough to overrule our accountant GM, he needs to go just as fast.

This move makes zero sense to me.

Sit him the rest of the year, let him decide if he wants to be a QB or a celebrity, and compete next year, hopefully with some gained perspective, even though it probably won't matter.

This is so typical clueless Jets.

[THE ILK]

When do the firings start?

WHEN?

[JFtoLong]

I think Woody is more Rex's boss than Tanny, I could be wrong of course.

In the NFL usually the coach is the much more valuable commodity than the GM.

Ecspecially when your GM is not a traiditonal NFL GM, but more of a cap/contract guy.

[unbanmadmike1]

Rex just has no idea what he's doing.

[JFtoLong]

Mangini was fired by Woody, not Tanny.

Mangini was way too boring for Woody, Tanny and Mangini are still good friends to this day.

[CrazyCarl40]

Now the real question - GMAC or TEBOW - which one is inactive and which one is the #2??

This is a soap opera!
