Vic.. I need your addy.

Dan, this comment I can agree with, they do look better than the
past. Unfortunately for the board when I read over the top comments I have a tendency to go into taunt mode

Check out the NY Post this morning and the comments about how Sanchez has "proven" he can play in this league. Really? After 4 games, and failing to do anything impressive in any of them he's proven this?

Taunt mode is fine by me... I'm a fan, but by no means a rabid one. I think the taunting and ****-talk is hilarious.

As for Sanchez, he's like a nice habano... young, a bit rough and confused. He needs to age a bit and to make smarter plays. That thing he did yesterday where he bowled himself into the knees of the other player was pretty shady. This isn't college ball, nor is it a streetfight... play with a modicum of class in respect to the league you're in.

I think he'll be good, but he does need to mature a bit.

Now this J-E-T-S team looks more familiar. I hope losing to the Bills gets this team humble and right sized.

We'll get back on the right track. It's still early in the season.

Depends on which Oakland team they face this week.
Will it be the one that played the Giants?
Will it be the one that played the Eagles?
We will have to sit back and wait to see.

I hope for Sanchez' sake, it is the one that played the Giants that shows up.
He is a talented kid whose confidence may take a dive if they don't get it together.

I don't think so.. Like I said in another thread, remember Eli his first year? He was garbage. Everyone thought he was a bust and would never pan out. He's no Peyton but he gets the job done and he gets it done very well.

I was hoping, as were most Jet fans that Sanchez wouldn't have a "rookie" year and that he would show up and make the plays. The first 3 games he didn't look great but he looked good enough to get through his rookie year as a success and as the QB of a winning team. His "rookieness" is starting to show. I'm hoping he can get it together fast, but I have no doubts he will become a great qb whether it be sometime this year or next year. He will get past his rookie year and become a force to be reckoned with. He has the talent and the smarts, everything else will come with time and training.

The difference between Sanchez and Eli is Eli has a brother named Peyton to help him out. Whether Sanchez turns out to be the next great thing or the next Ryan Leaf is anybodys guess at this point, the guy played for 1 year as a starter in college and guys with much more impressive college resumes have gone on to fail stupendously in the Not For Long. I was actually a little surprised during the Miami game to hear one of the announcers say "he should have stayed in college"
