Actually there's so much to refute here, my head could explode. So other than saying that Philbin cost us games on the field and as a control freak getting rid of leaders, when you have a HC who practices nepotism refusing to fire his butt buddy Sherman, and then keeping an inept QBC who happened to be Sherman's SIL in place, until he was threatened with the loss of his own job, he was far from an even average HC. And entrusting the development of a raw QB, our most important asset to an inexperienced Zach Taylor who would be some team's equipment mgr if not for his SIL was completely irresponsible if not outright malfeasance.
Now on to Buttfumble. He might have turned into a decent QB if the Jets listened to Pete Carroll, the coach who knew him best and thought he needed more college seasoning. He had a decent 2010 where his stats were at least top 14 or so, but as the Jets best field coach, Mike Westhoff declared, he was along for the playoff rides, he sure wasn't driving the bus.
And 2009 was such a gift by 2 teams, an undefeated Indy and Cinci who decided to pull their starters, Indy while they were ahead, inserting Curtis Painter, the same guy who got them Luck in the draft.. that the league actually changed their scheduling rules as a result of that. They were a 7-7 team on a losing streak before the gifting and really if we had faced Indy and Cinci, Henne could have been the one winning those accolades!
And winning that playoff game against SD? Sanchez completed about 50% of his passes, had an abysmal 61 QBR, had 1 TD and 1 Int, threw for 101 or so yards and was bailed out because the SD kicker choked on 3 kicks, 2 which were gimmes. The real game they had to win before charity was at the very cold Meadowlands against a dome team already eliminated, the Falcons and all Sanchez could muster was 17 points and only because Greene busted a 51yd run for a TD.
Sanchez's accuracy over his Jets career was the lowest for a starting QB since JaMarcus Russell. He sucked period so to me that in of itself impugns your judgment! If you really think he suffered from the Jets incompetence but Tannehill should have thrived under Slow Joe Philbin and his nepotistic buddies, then really we couldn't be further away from any agreement.
