Mattingly went 2-3 in his only postseason.  Sanchez went 4-2 in consecutive postseasons.

Regular seasons mean dick when looking at a player's career in New York.

Well there you have it.  All 3 were essentially the same with the important difference being that Mark Sanchez won more playoff games than the other two, had less offensive talent around him than the other two, had lesser head coaching and GM'ing than the other two, and was younger than the other two.

Hey, you don't have to stop admiring Testaverde and Pennington.  You just have to start admiring Sanchez.  It's ludicrous not to.  The downfall of the Jets wasn't his fault, it was Ryan and Tannenbaum who screwed it up.  Mark was the best Jet on the field in back to back AFC Championship Games.  He deserved better then and he deserves better now.

SAR I

Vinny T's wins above replacement are off the charts when you look at the 1998 and 1999 Jets.  

And not for nothing, but the 1998 Broncos were one of the greatest teams of all time.  The Colts and Steelers went on to lose the Super Bowl anyway.

It's really not Mattingly's fault that the Yankees never had decent pitching for the entirety of his career.

It's also absurd to say he wasn't clutch in the playoffs.  In his only appearance in 1995 vs Seattle he went 10 for 24 (.417) with 3 runs and 6 rbis, including what should have been the series clinching RBI double in Game 5.

you don't respect Don Mattingly?  LOL

Here we go again with this One-Year-Wonder Vinny Testaverde love.  Where does it come from?  Because he's Italian?  Because he's a Long Islander? 

Testaverde = 1 playoff season, 3 years where he wasted our time and failed.

Sanchez = 2 playoff seasons, 2 years where he wasted our time and failed.

If you respect Testaverde for his brief flash here, you respect Sanchez too.  He was better than Testaverde.

No, I don't respect players on losing teams who don't make the most of their postseason appearances.  I don't care about statistics.  I don't live for fantasy sports.  You can tell when a guy has that clutch gene and when he doesn't.  Mattingly didn't have it.

Mattingly was Staub and Piazza.  Nicely groomed men who said the right things and were a shining example of player behavior.  I'll take Lawrence Taylor and his mean streak and his drug habit thank you.  I'll take Adam Graves and his snarl and his spearing thank you.  I pay for wins.  I don't pay for autographs.

Well with McCown everybody always expected those teams to be terrible. So nobody had any expectations and just liked him for being a good guy.

 

Some jets fans were dumb enough to believe fitz could be something more than the perennial choke artist he is. Fooled because he was throwing up 50/50 jump balls to Marshall and decker all year. Then the next year after choking away the playoffs he holds out for more money and then plays awful. It's not hard to see why they're talked about differently.

Mark Sanchez was responsible for giving up 300 something yards to Peyton Manning.

It was Fitz or Geno.  The dumb fans wanted Geno. 

The smart Fans wanted our GM to get him paid and in camp and get going.  Our GM screwed that up, not the fans.

And lets not forget how many injuries we had that year....or is that only a valid excuse for our current Golden Boy?

Best year either WR ever had in their careers, and both were quickly out of the NFL after their time with Fitz. 

But yeah, it was totally all them, lol.

On the bright side, I'm sure our current Golden Boy will exceed Fitz's production that year.  After all it's easy, right, what kind of scrub QB can't out produce a guy like Fitz, amirite?

Jets fans bestow all this reverence on regular season compilers and pretty faces.  They would drool over Don Mattingly, just like they drool over Mike Piazza and Rusty Staub.  Decades of losing isn't offset by a poster on your wall.

SAR I

And what exactly has Adam Gase done so far that makes you "bestow reverence" on him?

You're probably the only Yankee/Jet fan alive who ranks these 3:

1) Mark Sanchez

2) Adam Gase

3) Don Mattingly

McCown should thank MacCagnan for giving him 10 million to mentor Darnold

It didnt matter whether our GM paid him and had him in camp. Fitz is a loser. Always has been always will be. He has proved that again and again and again to the point where it is laughable that he has anyone defending him. 

 

When it matters most he always folds. For all the praise of how smart he is he played the QB position like a moron.

This is a garbage take, and you know it. 

Our offense in 98 was DOMINANT.  

 

Sanchez was along for the ride behind the best O line in the league.

 

0-6 gets us 11-5!! ?

 

Your opinions on Sanchez are absurd, lonely, and invalid. .

Your opinions are cliche, juvenile, and tainted.  Testaverde was an awful Jet.  Fitzpatrick bested him and the ‘15 team was nowhere close to the ‘98 team.  

The ‘along for the ride’ myth again.  Sanchez led 5 fourth quarter comebacks for the ‘10 Jets.  Himself.  No defense.  No rushing attack. Lots of pinpoint passes.  Lots of smart audibles.  Turned 6-10 into 11-5.  Outplayed Manning and Brady in the same postseason. 

Fireman Ed is over.  Enjoy.

And there's Mark Sanchez.  All he ever did was win.  And they couldn't wait to run him out of town.

SAR I

Quick break from the real world:

Staub carried the Mets all the way to the one game short of a world championship while severly hurt. He was a winner and a class act for decades, plus could make ribs you could eat with a fork.  

Additionally, Sanchez didn't win anything, the D and the RB's carried those two teams. 

I now return you to your regularly scheduled forum

I do respect your opinion on Sanchez. I do. But he was not the one .never was gonna be the one. He played extremely well in those playoff games and should get more credit from Jet fans. Rex did fuk him up. Not denying that either. But your Qb has to grow into a leader. The color coded wrist bands. The post game interviews where he was rehearsed in what to say. Was not natural at all who knows what his career would have been with the Jets if Rex didn’t put him in that spot. I just never had the feeling that he was ever going to be ( IT ). Got a better sense of SAM being that guy that will lead us.

You’ve lost it. Rusty Staub one of the all time great Mets. Belongs in Hall of Fame. 2716 hits. Just 284 shy of 3000. Played less than 100 games in 8 of his 23 seasons and still was so close to 3000. One of baseball’s all time clutch hitters.

I hate the Skankees I mean Yankees. I mean hate. Not dislike. HATE. But Mattingly. Damn that dude was as great a hitter as I’ve ever seen. The Hit Man. Perfect nickname. As good as George Brett, Tony Gwynn. 

[Bleedin Green]

As much as I'm all for a good Sanchez debate, how the hell does a story about McCown being a good dude warp into that?

With that said, with the lone exception of the Pats game (credit where it's due there), Sanchez was simply along for the ride in those playoff runs, and was an albatross in both championship games.  Every available fact shows as much, it's just baseless excuse-making that leads anyone to say differently.

2,951 games played.  11 of them were in the playoffs.  11.

I realize you're just pushing buttons but I do agree that Sanchez elevated his game (by playing better while also eliminating mistakes) in the postseason both times.

In fairness, I do think Rex screwed Sanchez up.  When he arrived I noticed his footwork was really impressive.  Whatever happened to that?

SAR I - I remember you from the pre-Internet on the old Usenet NY Jets group. Unfortunately we are talking 30 years. I mostly love your posts ‐ especially the farcical ones. However, to compare a QB's influence on a team's result vs. a first baseman's impact is stretching things just a bit.

Not many gave up 30 points to peyton in the playoffs and it could have been much more if they didn't take their foot off the gas.  Only 3 other times in his career did he lead his O to 30 points in a playoff game.  We lost because of the D, the same reason we lost at Pittsburgh.
