Things have changed my friend. People are going to have to find another way to criticize Sanchez soon. You're going to tell me that he's being carried by the 24th ranked offensive line, and the 26th ranked running game?
Henne has the 10th ranked running game and the 11th ranked offensive line.
Sanchez is entering the zone where Roethlisberger was a few years ago. When people still talked about how the Steelers were a power running team that only asked him to manage the game. That was true for his first two years, but it takes some elements of the media a long time to reassess things. The Steelers have been a passing team for about 5 years now, but the media only realized it a year or two ago. The Jets offense is in the middle of the pack despite the efforts of Sanchez, not because of them. The offensive line and running game are both bottom 1/3 units right now.

This may be too much truth for some Dolphin fans, but despite all your complaints about Sparano, the defense, Reggie Bush, Brandon Marshall, etc.: If Chad Henne wasn't terrible in the red zone, you'd be 2-1 or 3-0 right now. You just lost 2 games where your defense allowed 23 and 17 points. A season low in points for Houston, and 3 points below Cleveland's average.
You think your O-line is bad? You have no idea. Sanchez is playing in a one-dimensional offense behind a bad offensive line. Yet he's still having a better year than Henne. Account for the difference in the supporting cast (stacked in Henne's favor this year), and Sanchez moves farther ahead. Henne has a stronger arm (though when they have their feet set, the difference is negligible because of Sanchez's mechanics), Sanchez is more accurate (though just beginning to show it this year), Sanchez has better footwork, and Sanchez is more aggressive. The aggression is the biggest difference between them, it's a double-edged sword. Sanchez takes more risks, leading to more turnovers and more points on the scoreboard. Henne sucks in the red zone because he's risk averse. The windows in the red zone are smaller and as a QB you've got to be willing to just throw it in there.
One QB is playing with two bottom 8 units and is putting up 23 points per game (I did you the favor and removed the punt block TD and the TD we scored after Cromartie returned an INT to the 1 yard line).
One QB is playing with two top 11 units and is putting up 17.7 points per game.
