Alex Smith is the embodiment of treading water at the quarterback position. The Jets really, really, really need to devote the next two years to finding the great quarterback, and they need to do it with maniacal focus. It's better to crash and burn trying to get the next Elway than it is to spend a decade doing 8-8 with the lame quarterback. Watch what the Texans do with Schaub--I guarantee they'll do with him exactly what Harbaugh did with Smith, or they'll just let him walk as a FA.

If Kubiak is still there I guarantee he gives Sanchez a look whenever the Jets part ways with him, and I would even say he will turn him into the next Matt Schaub, as long as he still has the elite talent everywhere else like they do now.

Why you think that

If Kubiak is still there I guarantee he gives Sanchez a look whenever the Jets part ways with him, and I would even say he will turn him into the next Matt Schaub, as long as he still has the elite talent everywhere else like they do now.

If they can dump Sanchez for Flynn, fine. If they can find the next Testaverd/Gannon/Plunkett/Warner retread, great, but odds are there is no such animal. But signing Alex Smith to a big bucks contract merely compounds the Sanchez mistake.Sign a 1 yeat stopgap veteran with an option in case you do get lightining in a bottle. But who ever the GM is don't do a Patrick Ewing rolling a crappy contract out into the horizon for fool's gold; take the Sanchez cap hit in 2013 and prepare for 2014 and beyond. Figure out if there is a Kapernick ro Wilson in this draft, if Johnny Football or someone else is the real deal in 2014, and so on. Scouting has to be priority one. Pay lip service to winning in 2013.

No thanks, I will pass.

Think about it this way, add Smith and we will have bout 15 mil per year tied up in crap and average QBs

[Gastineau Lives]

If this happened, you'd be making up a lame, derogatory, pun-based nickname for him within two years.

Alex sh*th. That was easy!

I want to root for losses. I want to "suffer" through an abysmal season for the overall good. I want Sanchez to start.

[Inspector Oofus]

ANYBODY would be an improvement over Sanchez.

[jack48]

Neither Alex Smith not Matt Moore gets this team into the playoffs. What is the point of winning 7 games instead of 5 next season? Start Sanchez, draft a game changer at QB in 2014 and reap the benefits.

I am still in favor of getting someone less mistake prone than Sanchez on the cheap. The crowd will not let Sanchez play here, and he has not got the guts to play thru it. it still won't be a playoff season for the jets. of course.

So...you're saying we should get Smith and Schaub?

When I saw Schaub break out of the pocket with all the time in the world and throw the ball out of bounds, instead of trying to make a play downfield, it warmed my heart. I have said all along he was a puss and he proved it again. Remember Sanchez first game as a pro when the Jets hit Schaub til he wet his pants? He is a guy who benefited from having good guys to throw to. But he never stood tall in the pocket. Sanchez has the same lack of heart.

I like Alex Smith to the Jets, but only if it's for as little money as possible for a year, maybe with some kind of incentive based option for two. That said, he's not going to be looking for that. He shouldn't get anything more from the Jets, so he probably won't come here. And if he DOES get that kind of money from the Jets, the Jets are idiots.

I agree 100%, my comment was made to criticize both Schaub, and Sanchez.

[BleedGreen314]

So would Will Smith

[ECURB]

Sanchez has actually won something but now we want backups that haven't and have been on multiple teams or almost out of the nfl? Brilliant!

The good news is the Jets won't have a lot of money to give. So they can't really mess it up. Or can they?

[JetsFanInDenver]

As bad as that is he is still an upgrade over Sanchez. Not a huge upgrade but still an upgrade.

At some point ECURB has to explain why the negative rep ? Still some left over feelings for Sanchez or did Campbell run away with your gal!

[jetsman]

I think MATT MOORE was with Miami this year! I do not know who you are referring to as ONE START for Cutler.

he is referring to Jason Campbell

[SouthernJet]

I hope this happens......

Unless Coach Harbaugh comes with Smith, I fear Alex in a Jets uniform will look like Sanchez

[#27TheDominator]

C'mon guys, Alex Smith made it to the conference championship with a dominant defense and running game. He has to be better than Sanchez!

Oh ye of little faith.
