JMJ Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Sanchez was on with Michael Kay yesterday and Michael asked him about his competitiveness. Sanchez gave the answer you would expect, the ol', "I'm competitive in everything I do, yadda yadda." So Michael Kay says to him, "The reason I ask you is because of a story I was told, you tell me if it's true.". Kay then tells a story that the Jets worked out Sanchez after they had already worked out Freeman. During the workout the Jets tested Freeman's deep arm and he threw the ball 63 yards. When the Jets were working out Sanchez they had him do the same test and told him that Freeman had thrown it 63 yards when they worked him out ... Sanchez threw it 68. Mark laughed and then confirmed the story was true. Now I know there is a lot more to arm strength then just being able to heave a long ball, but everyone goes gaga over Freeman's arm. This story at least helps put things into perspective that while Freeman might have a better arm overall (maybe even debatable), it isn't like it is night and day from him to Sanchez. And Sanchez certainly does not have a "weak arm." Just thought I'd share. Thought it was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember how Favre's arm strength was such a factor for us last year so I'm psyched, especially with Jerricho "The Missle"! Well at least we know Sanchez can pull a Doug Flutie to Beat Miami if we need him to. He's a good looking media superstar, that's what the Jets crave! That's what Favre was about! Woody wants to be the talk of the town. Fine.Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I remember seeing somewhere that Dirty couldnt make all the throws and then I read a couple of of time (Johnny Hector posted an article) about Dirty being able to make all the throws. Who knows. The footage from his pro day surely reflects that he does have good arm strength. Arm strength isnt his best attribute, its his accuracy. As long as he doesnt throw balloons in the Meadowland winds...I'm good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 He is an excellent quarterback that will lead us to a superbowl. He doesn't have the strongest arm and injuries are a concern BUT he is accurate and has intangibles. ....and his name is Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSage Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The Pennington clips from college were before the injuries to arm and shoulder. Remember the the throw in SD with an injure rotattor? He just gave it all he had. He had everything else after the injuries just no velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 From everything I've seen, I think Sanchez has an adequate enough arm, but what really helps is his quick release. Basically, he's the anti-O'Brien when it comes to mobility and release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 And, just to add: besides Sanchez having a stronger arm than pre-shoulder surgeries Chad, Sanchez also has way bigger hands.

Watch the game again and read the articles. When Chad had his first shoulder surgery the doctors found a lot of scar tissue on the shoulder. That means, he had a pre-injury shoulder condition that had healed. Those are from reports I read. I'm not a Chad fan, but there is a lot of re-writing of history going on here.

Another thing to add, Sanchez has slightly bigger hands than Favre: Sanchez -- 10 1/2" ("6'2 1/8") Favre -- 10 3/8" (6'2") Stafford -- 10" (6'2 3/8") Freeman -- 10" (tiny hands for someone 6'5") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
