He had his BEST game of the year tonight.

I liked what I saw from Sanchez on Saturday. That's probably thanks in large part to the coaching staff putting together a game plan where he didn't have to carry the team, and the players executing a successful running game and playing well on defense. If the Jets had to come from behind in the second half, this might have gone a whole lot differently.

A lot of "if"s ... what if Braylon Edwards didn't suck so horribly? What if the Bengals kicker could hit chip shots? What if the refs didn't single Revis out? What if Marv Lewis didn't waste his challenges in the first couple minutes? But you have that kind of stuff in every game.

Sanchez looked good. Big step in the development of the rookie QB.

Little Schot called another great game with a lot misdirection and kept Sanchez moving which just confused the Bengal D.

Once Sanchez gets some seasoning and if Schott stays, the Jets could be equally as dominant on offense in the coming years.

...this is an excellent point. Sanchez has incredible pocket presence, and his development could only benefit by it being cultivated going forward. Sanchez finished 2nd in the NFL in rushing TD's among QB's. He was just starting to harness his skill in rushing, before upper management pulled the plug on him. He had 3 rushing touchdowns in a 5 game stretch going into the bye week.... then Joe Girardi was brought in, and all of sudden, Sanchez's scrambling ability went MIA. There's a difference between frowning on a quarterback's dynamics -vs- stifling his ability in doing so, from the get-go. He rushed for over 100 yrds this season, with Rex Ryan scolding him every step of the way. His speed and agility should be encouraged, not discouraged.

Agreed. The Girardi involvement was the start of his decline this season.

*Bottomline - Sanchez Rookie Year Grade (imo): C+

...update: `Make that a B-

[losdiablos103]

Dude played very well today. Very well, anyone who thinks different is blind.

Sanchez with Brian Schottenheimer will build an offensive force in the next few years. Not sure if Leon Washington will be back in form, but one thing is certain the JET offense NEEDS Green to keep defenses guessing. Thomas Jones is no longer the guy here.
