No... really you can debate it because you don't support your premise that Sanchez led to the wins because there is no evidence for that.
Again, demonstrate it with specific examples. Show me with something measurable and observable that Sanchez had "much better than average QB play when it mattered"
I know history but you didn't respond to my assertion that Gailey has demonstrated more success as a director of offenses than Sparano.
I'm trying to actually exchange opinions and ideas based on verifiable facts to support those opinions and ideas. Just saying the same thing over and again isn't a debate or logic - it's just contentious.
No evidence? His excelletn play in postseason, leading late wins over Den, Cle, Det, Hou, Ind(playoffs), SD, Buf- that's not enough proof?
Specific?
2009 reg season: vs. NE, trailing 9-3 at half, leads opening drive of 2nd for TD and we never trailed again
2009: Ten: after ten takes 3 pts lead in 3rd leads Jets to 10 unanswered pts for 24-17 win
2009 playoffs: almost flawless, 3 incompletions w/ 2 of them rops vs. Cincy in his first playoff start on the road.
2009 playoffs at SD: #s aren't great but made multiple big plays on 3rd downs specifically, one set up a FG, another set up the punt that put SD inside their 10 which set up an INT, the other was the biggest on a 3rd and goal w/ no one open he bougth time w/ his legs and threw a perfect strike on the run to give us our first lead.
2010:
NE: trailing 14-10 at half, throws 2 wnd half TDs, converts 2 pt conversion and leads to Fg for 28-14 win
@ Mia: leads jets to 31 pts in 31-23 win. Took 14-0 1sr qtr lead, Miami takes 17-14 lead in 3rd and 1 play later the Jets have the lead back fro good. Miami cut deficit to 24-23 and then he led AJets on TD drive to push to 8 pt lead and the win.
@ Den: trailing 20-17 in final minutes leads TD drive for the win
@Det: trailing by 10 w/ about 3 mins left lads Jets to 10 pts to send to OT, long pass play to Holmes to set up GW FG
@Cle: after D blows late lead he throws GW TD to Holmes in final min of OT(Kicker missed 3 FGs incluing one under 30 yds)
Hou: after D blows 23-7 4th qtr lead, trailing 27-23 w/ about a min left inside their 30 and NO timeouts, throws 2 perfect strikes to Braylon and Holmes for the win
@Indy(WC rd), after Indy hits FG to go up 2 w/ a min left he leads Jets to chip shot FG for win
@NE(div rd): outduels Tom Brady in Foxboro, 3 TDs including a perfect pass on a 3rd and goal to stretch lead back to 10 after NE had just cut it to 3.
@Pit(title game) after trailing 24-0 leads Jets back to 24-19 w/ 3 mins left but D can't get him one more chance.
2011:
SD: trailing 14-3 in 1st half and 21-10 in 2nd leads jets back for 27-21 win behind 3 TD passes
Buf: throws GW Td in final minute for 28-24 win
Was: after wash takes late FG lead he leads jets downfield for TD to take lead(Jets added late scores to make it look like a blowout but it wasn't)
Coming full circle, I think we (NYJunc & Fin fans) are all glad that Dirty is the QB for the Jests. So NYJunc, please enjoy your overrated, over-his-head, laughable media darling, lousy leader of a QB as much as we do. :up:
as long as you enjoy watching us win, that's a little weird for a div rival but thanks for your support.
TDs are worth the same no matter what quarter you get them in. If the Jets had a "Great" Fantasy guy playing QB for them in 09 or 10, they easily make the Super Bowl and probably win 1. I don't care if the fantasy QB didn't even show up in the 4th, if they scored "fantasy TDs" in the first 3 quarters (with the running game and D the Jets had) they wouldn't need a QB in the 4th.
You would be surprised what those "Fantasy guys who choke in January" could do if they were carried by a D and running game like Sanchez was. Just look at what Sanchez was without them. He was just like those "Fantasy guys who choke" minus the fantasy numbers?
Mark made plays when they mattered, he didn't pad stats.
