I can’t wait for Sanchez to be named the starter (after wk. 2 of the preseason) so this discussion can go away.

Unless Mark SUCKS this is a fait accompli.

Kewpie to igs. I just hope Rex is a proponent of igs, “Rather there is just what works for the individual player.”

Stats tell what happened, not what will happen.

I do not have the stats to do so, but a fairer QB comparison would be those taken in the top third of the draft. Can not compare the fifth overall pick with the 32nd, BIG difference.

Another interesting comparison would be the height of succesful QB’s vs. failures.

Note that Boller and Carr are both listed at 6′3″, Ryan and Flacco taller.

The biggest hurdle that Sanchez has to overcome is his height, and the evidence indicates to me that it will limit his ceiling.

People like to point at statistics and history. But I believe that when it comes to player development there is no one way to do it. Rather there is just what works for the individual player. I do no believe that any player is destined to be a flop or destined to be a star. It’s up to the organization to do what’s right for the player. If Sanchez isn’t ready to start then don’t start him. You got Clemens. Play your cards right Rex Ryan.

MSM & jvsvn:
I agree with both of you 100%, as I’m sure you know I’ve been saying that since the end of the 2008 season. So I will not re-hash those comments.

Sackdance has it right. Sanchez wasn’t drafted to learn behind KC. The Jets clearly don’t think Clemens is good enough. Jeez, the guy is in his fourth year and the team just drafted Sanchez. What does that tell you? It tells you that they’ve seen enough of Clemens and want to go in another direction. Unless Sanchez proves utterly unprepared, it’s his job.

This USA piece will be the last preview I read, because they will all be the same “if Ryan can get the defense…, if Sanchez……, if another WR steps….., the AFC East is tough with NE & Mia……”

so it is a given that Brady is going to be the same coming of ACL surgery? Because THAT happens all the time

so it is given Miami is going to win every close game and get every break like they did in 2008 (and didn’t in 2007?)

and yet it is a question mark that the JETS D, with Rex’s history and the talent that is there is a question mark?

I think KC has to clearly outplay Sanchez to deserve to start. I’d rather have Sanchez get his 1st NFL start than have KC get his 9th. KC is still very inexperienced and does not have near the talent that Sanchez has. Sanchez, however, needs NFL experience, something he won’t get if KC is blocking his way. Unless he’s just not mentally ready (something I find hard to believe), he should start. Limit the playbook to stuff he does well and as he progresses, put in more pages. I expect growing pains, but the Jets need him to mature, and that won’t happen on the bench watching a near-rookie like KC play.

Just about everything in life is 50/50 and you have to learn to live with regret. If Clemens shows he can run the offense well in camp and preseason then he deserves a shot. If he stinks it up then let the Sanchez era begin.
