Popular Post Grandy Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 Seeing as Sanchez is the only one to go into the playoffs, won 4 games in 2 years in those playoffs, and is the only one to consistently win clutch games I'd definitely go with him. Darnold is the most talented of the bunch, but he was as clutch as the Titanic. Geno was Geno. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 It seems like a lot of folks just want to ignore what "all else being equal" actually means. Pointing to one of the QBs being painfully dragged kicking and screaming against his will to be merely present at the time of a more successful team 100% completely in spite of his own performance, due to an infinitely more talented roster, does not exactly meet that criteria. As a quick reminder, with the sole exception of the Pats game, Sanchez's lauded postseason performances ranged from laughably awful to the team doing everything in its power to minimize his involvement in the game. In the end, the single most consistent thing over the course of the past decade+ of this team is how much all of them completely sucked. It's like asking which pool of diarrhea would be the least offensive to bath yourself in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez was a real QB in the playoffs I can think of 7 or 8 great Sanchez performances in big games off the top of my head. I can’t think of one for Darnold or Geno. Also Darnold and Geno never played in big games because they were atrocious as was the entire team around them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuler82 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 What a sh*t poor executed premise of a thread. Sanchez was the winning QB in four playoff games -4-2 overall -against two guys who’ve never won more than 7 games in a season? And sure Sanchez sucks but he showed up when it mattered. He had just as much a part of those playoff wins as the rest of the team. Unlike Geno and Sam who never showed up at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - the obvious answer is that some positions are a lot more important than others and tend to have a bigger role in determining the "environment." You can be a contending team with only average play at certain positions, but it's extremely difficult to be a winning team with below average QB play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are going way too far with their whimsical takes on Sanchez here. It's as if they forgot about what happened in the Steeler game. The stage was 100 % too big for him that day. People love to blame the defense for that one but that L fell almost solely on Mark Sanchez and the negative 7 points he produced in that first half. His doomed "comeback" in the 2nd half was predictable too. That's how the NFL goes. The team that dominates the 1st half plays a bit softer on defense and allows some points in the 2nd half. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had just as much a part of those playoff wins as the rest of the team. Unlike Geno and Sam who never showed up at all Sanchez was bodily carried into those playoff years by a great roster. Once there, he played pretty well, admittedly, still surrounded by a great roster. When the roster wasn't so great, he never sniffed the postseason or winning clutch games. he never elevated his supporting cast in any way. Darnold, similarly, never had remotely as great a roster as Sanchez had, and also never sniffed the postseason. We'll never know how he might have done surrounded by the great talent Sanchez enjoyed. It's yet another time where Jets fans have to debate which turn smells the best, sadly, but I went with Darnold over Sanchez. I think he's the better QB of the two, and there is still some unknown to Sam (as he's still in the league while Sanchez no longer is). Not by much, and with an admittedly weaker resume, especially in the post. But frankly, they both suck, so it's a moot point IMO. Two turds. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep wondering in this thread how Sanchez would do with the kind of roster Darnold and Geno were saddled with. Well, we already saw that in 2012. We went 6-10 and the offense averaged a paltry 17.6 points per game. Sanchez completed just 54 % of his throws, threw 13 TDs to 18 INTs, and fumbled the ball 14 times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but perfect defense doesn't happen either, especially not in the modern NFL. The defense was asked to do way too much all year long. The one time the D fell short against a good Steeler team, on the road, people blamed them for the L. From time to time you need your QB and offense to carry the day and Sanchez simply could not do it. I still picked Sanchez, because we actually saw him play decently in postseason games and the Jets were never good enough to play in "big games" with Darnold or Geno. But it's not a runaway. This thread is like asking people to pick the method of gouging out their eyes: Knife, fork, or spoon. I chose the spoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
