Enough is Enough With Sanchez
Sunday was just another frustrating day of New York Jets football. It was another horrific game from starting quarterback Mark Sanchez. It's about time Tim Tebow takes over.
The Jets fell in Seattle to the Seahawks Sunday, 28-7. It was the Jets third straight loss dropping them to 3-6 on the season with seven games remaining. Gang Green would have to go 6-1 in their remaining games to have a slim chance at a playoff spot.
It was just another horrid game from the Jets offense, which appeared completely lost on Sunday. The offense did not put up a single point Sunday. Sanchez was just 9 for 22 for 124 yards with a costly interception and a fumble. It was hard to watch the fourth-year quarterback once again as he looked absolutely abysmal. In a tie game in the 2nd quarter, Sanchez made a very poor throw intended for Dustin Keller that was picked off in the endzone. It cost the Jets a chance to take the lead with at least a field goal. Then in a 21-7 game in the 4th quarter with the Jets driving in Seahawks territory, Sanchez cost his team once again fumbling the ball giving it to the Seahawks. Seattle would score a touchdown on the drive to put the nail in the coffin.
Enough is enough with Sanchez taking the ball under center. Week after week he continues to fail and it seems as the pressure has gotten the best of him. Having Tebow over his shoulder and playing this two quarterback system at times seems to have gotten in the head of Sanchez. His play has been affected mightily as he is at the lowest point of his career thus far. Rex Ryan said after the game that Sanchez is still his guy at quarterback saying he gives them the best chance to win. That decision has to be changed by the end of the week. Sanchez has turned the ball over an alarming 15 times this season and his completion percentage is 52.9, which is a career low.
It all starts with your quarterback on offense and while the Jets might not have the best receiving unit out there, Sanchez has been an absolute nightmare for most of this 2012 season so far. His play has been unacceptable and if the Jets care about their fans and care about winning football games, they need to insert Tebow at quarterback. Tebow has proven he can win in the NFL as he did last season with the Broncos. It's time that the Jets give the the former Heisman Trophy winner a chance to run this offense. It can't get much worse than what Sanchez has put out there this season.
Tim Tebow needs to take over immediately before this season gets uglier than it already is. He gives Gang Green a better chance to win than Sanchez does right now. The Jets will travel to St. Louis next Sunday to take on the Rams as they look to end this three-game losing streak.
