I don't think anyone breathed a deeper sigh of relief when Henne signed with Jax than The Taco. Henne knew what a lot of jest players also knew: no matter how much anyone outplays Sanchez, it don't matter. :idk:
I've been saying all along, long before the 2 uncredited sources who were obviously Tomlinson and Holmes confirmed that Sanchez has been enabled, could continue to crap the bed and knew he'd be rewarded with another start considering the guy who'd come in carried an AARP card. Absolutely no pressure on him to keep his job. I called it "enabling;" those guys called it coddling. Moore came in to a demoralized team with SFL'ers in the stands vocally rooting against him and it in a fire by baptism situation, and after he his sea legs under him, finished the same 6-3 that Ryan did, but beat teams with a better winning record than him, and certainly better than Sanchez's 5-4 where he failed when another backdoor post season entry was at stake at the time he was playing us. Moore made bad teams including ours better, winning 52% of his games started for teams those years winning 36.% of their cumulative games. Even his bad year, post concussion in 2010, he went 1-4 yet still managed to win 50% of that lame duck coach's teams wins while starting in 35% of their games. An upgraded 2011 team had Cam Newton doing even worse going 1-5 and 2-10, even with his own legs as a weapon before he clicked in. Had he been a late round draft pick, he'd never have seen that 10th start. So it's all relative. Sanchez was carried by his relatively good and lucky teams/ Moore actually uplifted his mediocre and bad ones!
Only Brady in the division played better than Moore, through the last 9 games, a guy who had Marshall dropping end zone passes, his defense losing to Tebow on predictable plays and turnstyles in Columbo and Carey and the pressure of playing for his career vs being stereotyped as a back up. Last season, between Moore and Taco, only one of them rose to the occasion given the tools they had to work with.
