Steveg Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Mike Sando's MVP Watch October, 6, 2010 Any quarterback on pace for 32 touchdowns, no interceptions and a 12-4 starting record deserves at least some consideration in the MVP race. That's why Mark Sanchez makes his MVP Watch debut at No. 10 even though the New York Jets have sometimes used game plans designed to minimize the young quarterback's impact on games. Sanchez is not lighting up the NFL, but those stats and the Jets' 3-1 record are tough to ignore. Adding Santonio Holmes to the offense should only help. Check out these numbers on Sanchez from ESPN Stats & Information: - 350 yards passing with four touchdowns and a 94.1 rating on short passes (those traveling 10 or fewer yards downfield); - 257 yards, two touchdowns and a 133.3 rating (second-highest in the NFL) on passes traveling 11 to 20 yards downfield; - 104 yards, two touchdowns and a 106.1 rating on passes traveling 21-plus yards even though Sanchez has completed only 3 of 11 such attempts; - a league-leading 120.1 rating with six touchdowns when opponents rush with more than four defenders (Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer and Tom Brady rank second through fourth in this critical area); - eight touchdown passes and the NFL's second-best rating (behind only Manning) on throws made from inside the pocket, an indication Sanchez isn't bailing from the pocket unnecessarily.

Bleedin Green Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 - a league-leading 120.1 rating with six touchdowns when opponents rush with more than four This is of course great to hear and a lot of interesting stats, but this one above is the one that I think is most huge. Teams love nothing more than to bring heat onto any QB, but particularly a young QB. And so far this season, Sanchez has been at his best when teams send extra people after him. That means he's identifying the blitz, finding the weakness created in the coverage and then getting the ball out quickly. Of course having a top of the line OL helps that, but this is still an awesome thing to see out of a second year QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course having a top of the line OL helps that, but this is still an awesome thing to see out of a second year QB. That is the line that impressed me the most as well. Picking up the blitz, reading the D to find the open man and completing the pass for a 2nd year QB who only started one yearn college. That is beyond impressive.

PatsFanTX Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Any quarterback on pace for 32 touchdowns, no interceptions and a 12-4 starting record deserves at least some consideration in the MVP race. How about a RB on pace for 88/858 yards, 9.8 avg per carry and 16 TD's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyandthejets Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 If the team finishes 12-4 or better and Sanchez is one of the top QBs in the conference he has a serious chance of winning the award, he has actually won games for us this year, the miami game and new england game specifically which was more of a 1-2 punch with sanchez and the defense.
