First QB in franchise history to win postseason games in back-to-back years.

Only Jet QB to win 3 playoff road games.

Only Jet QB to with a playoff game with a 4th quarter comeback.

He's 24. The haters like Aten, DBatesman, Kleckinau, Jif, etc. can lament his presence but the Jets aren't getting rid of him. Rex, Schitty (or any other OC), and the coaching staff will do everything they can for him to improve his game.

This is a win business it will be hard for Rex and Tanny to look at Sanchez as anything but a winner. That's NFL reality.

I think it's you they want to get rid of. Haters gonna hate. ;)

Seriously, way too often Sanchez just blows horribly until the last possession when we must score or walk away without the W. But if he's got to pick one possession to show up that would be the one I'd choose. There are plenty of (generally thought to be) better QB's who are the exact opposite.

Sanchez is maddening. Last night had to be mechanical. He was consistently high on all his throws in the 1st half, even the completions. It's up to the coaching staff to correct that. It's like a pitching coach going to the mound to talk to a wild pitcher.

The Jets are fortunate that Sanchez is a big moment QB. You can't teach that. The solution to his problems can be taught.

This is the one thing that gives me some faith. Even the best QB with the most perfect mechanics, lightning-fast release, prototypical size, off-the-charts QB smarts, and religious diligence to the constant improvement of his craft can still be a loser more often than a winner in the playoffs (*coughManning* *coughMarino*).

For all of the high blood pressure he's caused (and will cause), he's generally done just enough to win or just wasn't quite bad enough to lose. Given the history of our beloved franchise, I'll take it. Next week there will only be 4 NFL games with the rest of the teams preparing for next season. The Jets will - for the second year in a row with Sanchez, Rex, and even Schottendumbass - be playing in one of those 4 games.

Still, it would be nice if he would start hitting his receivers more accurately.

I can get used to this. Sanchez was 9 out his last 11 and one of those incompletions was a 3rd down Holmes drop. Now I've been watching this team since 1968 and we have NEVER had a QB that could do what Sanchez has done 6 times this season. Think about it: of all of our franchise QB's Namath, Todd, O'Brien, Vinny, and Chad of all of those guys over all of those years how many of them did you actually BELIEVE could win a game with us down inside of the 2 minute warning? For me, none-not even Namath.

His inconsistency at this point is a little disappointing. BUT, you can not possibly understate the value or significance of his continual last minute heroics this year. The guy has something in his veins that is very, very special. I think he will straighten out as far as the consistency and the Jets will be a very fortunate organization to have him. They already are.

This is what I'm getting at. He's the opposite of the prior franchise QB in a lot of ways, but none more apparent than knowing if we were down by >7 at any point in the game, we were going to lose.

Yup Chad would throw that floating sideline pass that would get picked and we'd lose.

Doesn't this also make Vernon Gholston the winningest OLB/DE in Jets playoff history?

Kidding. Sort of.

As has been stated many times here, he's not phased by the big moment, which is something that can't be coached. The only thing Sanchez does well is win.

Kudos to him but the Holmes drop was much more due to Sanchez being off on a simple pass. Mechanics or nerves, I don't know but if I recalll Holmes was going to the sideline and had to reach back and up.

it was high but still it hit him in both hands-he should have made that catch

Did't he also get drafted after his sophmore season? My point is he is just completing his senior season and will go into year 3 in the pros with 2 years under his belt and a continuing maturity and understanding of the mechanics needed.

He does have "it" and that can't be taught.

LOL ok. But this is more of a reflection on our crap franchise than the greatness of Sanchez. Kudos though and tip the cap. The experience this kid is getting so early in his career is only going to help down the road. I seriously think your top 4 qbs in the leauge 5 years from now could be Ryan, Flacco, Rodgers, Sanchez. Although I'm still on the fence next year will be a big year for him...and the rest of these playoffs. He's taking the right baby steps forward. HOpefully is all comes together at some point...and I'm also a little concerned about his shoulder, the severity of it for real.

With all the losing the Jets have done in the past it seems that the fanbase cares more about moral victories and losses. When they get a QB that actually wins big games they don't know how to react.

I want Sanchez to play well and win big games. If I can only have one right now, I'll take big games every time.

Sanchez was high on most of his throws. With the Holmes drop, the ball hit him in both hands. That's why I think they consider it a drop. It wasn't perfect pass, but it was catchable.

Also on the play, I wonder if Sanchez purposely threw it outside. If he missed outside it would be an incompletion. If he missed inside it would have been a pic.

Agreed, S.

it should be harder to accomplish, but the most impressive part is the wins in back to back years

there aren't a lot of QB's out there who can make that claim right now

and when you add his age into, it's very nice

I would like him to learn how to start like he finishes, but it is nice to have a clutch QB

SMC-how many times did we see our 'last' franchise QB throw that same pass only to have it picked off to end any shot at winning?

You know, it's not a hard pass to make, and the catch looked a hell of a lot more impressive than the throw. But in reality, it's easy to forget about what one doesn't see, and that would be a pass off by a few feet in the wrong direction being picked off. And in that situation it's common for guys to be off target as they tense up or just have nerves shaking them all over.

Kudos to Sanchez for - again - doing enough to win. I'm sure next week I'll curse him for >50% of the game again, but he's really turning (or has really turned) into a cool customer in pressure situations, even through his sulking on the sideline and that "I'm a beaten man" face he wears when he sucks balls in low-pressure situations.

I think you have to be active to qualify. The Ghost is basically a practice squader, and a bad one at that. Im guessing now Shaun Ellis and Bryan Thomas must have more playoff wins in a Jet uniform than any other player. They were part of the wildcard round win in 2002 and 2004 as well as all the fun of the last two years.

You, with these facts all the time! I just can't go a day without mourning Gholston's presence.
