Pastornini didn't suck, he wasn't great but didn't suck. I think people think you have to be a HOFer to have success in this league. You can't compare #s of QBs of the 70s to QBs of today but they won w/ him and got the closoest that franchise(while in Houston) ever got to a SB w/ him. Of course it helped to have Earl Campbell which Sanchez never had
The guy had a career losing record, completed half of his passes, and had a TD - INT ratio of 1-1.5. That is the definition of suck. Stink Stank Stunk.
For some reason you refuse to admit that football is a team sport and that it is possible for bad players to play on winning teams. It's also very possible for very good players to play on losing teams. Obviously the QB has a bigger impact on the team than other positions, but to flatly say that without question "it isn't possible for a bad QB to get to two straight title games" (like you have) is a ridiculous blanket statement.
There are many situations throughout NFL history where good teams carried bad quarterbacks to big games, and the '09 and '10 Jets just happened to be two shining examples of that occurance. The one and only reason why you express the attitude that you do towards all these average QBs (Dilfer, Pastornini, Johnson etc.) is for the simple fact that it plays into your inexplicable defense of Mark Sanchez. In your heart of hearts you have to know that what you say about guys like Dilfer makes no sense, but your mind numbing homerism is forcing you into these outlandish philosophies just because it makes Mark Sanchez look less awful.
I know for a fact that if things were flipped for the Jets, like let's say they had been an average team the past few years but Sanchez was setting the world on fire and putting up huge numbers, you're attitude would be much different. You would be pointing to guys like Marino and P. Manning (guys you bash) as supporting examples of Mark Sanchez, and suddenly "fantasy numbers" would mean a lot to you.
Look, being that I live on Long Island I know a lot of Jet fans, and the vast majority have given up on Marky Mark. Your homerism just happens to be legendary, and I'm just sayin, it makes you sound like a jackass a lot of the time. Believe me when I tell you I'm just as harsh on extreme Dolphins homers (I have the track record of bans to prove it) but your love of God awful QBs is really some of the dumbest **** I've ever heard in my life.
*Edit - Just for you to know, if it makes you feel any better, I really don't think Matt Moore is any better than Sanchez, and I think that Tannehill is a very similar prospect to Sanchez when he was coming out.... Tannehill might be a little more athletic and have a slightly better arm but I didn't like either guys coming out. Clearly I'm pretty unhappy about the state of the Fins as well.
