Mark Sanchez vs. Tim Tebow - AUTiger7222 - 10-02-2012 01:35 PM
Last year Tebow got kicked out of Denver after going 7-4 and winning a playoff game because he was a supposed horrible QB.
Well what about Mark Sanchez? He had a terrific season opener against the Bills but the Bills have proven to have a horrendous defense already giving up 48 and 45 points in 2 of their 4 games. But in the other games Sanchez has completed less than 50 percent of his passes.
Week 1 - BUF - 19-for-27 (70.4%), 266 YDS (9.9), 3 TD, 1 INT - 123.4 QB Rating
Week 2 - @PIT - 10-for-27 (37.0%), 138 YDS (5.1), 1 TD, 0 INT - 66.6 QB Rating
Week 3 - @MIA - 21-for-45 (46.7%), 306 YDS (6.8), 1 TD, 2 INT - 58.2 QB Rating
Week 4 - SF - 13-for-29 (44.8%) 103 YDS (3.6), 0 TD, 1 INT - 39.9 QB Rating
Tebow got sent how of Denver for having those type of games. How long until Sanchez gets benched and sent out of New Jersey?
Oh and if you can't already tell, yes I am a huge Tebow fan.

Well in my opinion neither of them should be starting QBs in the nfl because they are both horrible. But as for the Jets benching Sanchez I think they will stick with him a little longer seeing as they gave him a retarded ass contract extension doing the offseason.

That's like debating Romney v. Obama. They both suck, but their team is stuck with one of them for 4 years.
I don't know how Sanchez's extension was worded, so I don't know how long they're married to him. He may be able to revive his career in another city, but he's done in New York.

Quote:Analyzing Mark Sanchez's three-year contract extension
BY MANISH MEHTA
The Jets announcement Friday night that they signed Mark Sanchez to a three-year extension opened plenty of eyes around the league. Why would the Jets extend a quarterback coming off a mediocre season with two years still remaining on his rookie contract?
A league source told the Daily News that Sanchez would earn $20.5 million in guarantees for 2012 and 2013. The fourth-year quarterback is set to earn $40.5 million over the final three years. The total value of his new-look five-year deal is $58.25 million.
Sanchez was going to be a $14.25 million hit on the cap before the extension. The team freed up $6.4 million in cap space this season, according to a detailed breakdown by http://www.profootballtalk.com.
Per PFT, Sanchez’s $11.75 million base salary for 2012 was converted to a $8 million signing bonus. A league source confirmed that Sanchez has a fully-guaranteed $3.25 million base salary for 2012. Sanchez will receive an $8.25 million fully guaranteed base salary in 2013, according to PFT. He has non-guaranteed base salaries from 2014-16.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the nuts and bolts of the deal:
1) Before the extension, the Jets had an $11.75 million investment for 2012 ($8.25 million base salary + $3.25 million in other bonuses) and a $6 million investment in 2013 ($4.5 million base salary and $1.5 million in bonuses). So, if Sanchez played the final two seasons under those terms, he would have earned $17.75 million.
2) Now, the Jets have guaranteed the $11.75 million that Sanchez was going to earn anyway in 2012 (Let’s face it: They weren’t going to cut him this season once it became apparent that Peyton Manning wasn't going to be a Jet) and guaranteed his 2013 salary. They also threw in an additional $2.75 million in guarantees in 2013 to increase the total guaranteed money for 2012 and 2013 to $20.5 million.
3) What do the Jets get in return? Well, the team received an additional three years in exchange for those guarantees in 2012 and 2013. Sanchez will earn $12.5 million/year over the final three years of this deal (not fully guaranteed), which would be below market value for a franchise quarterback in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
4) If Sanchez turns around his play over the next two seasons, the Jets will have an extremely favorable
deal for a very good starting quarterback in this league (12.5M/year for three years with the freedom to cut him at any point without worrying about any fully guaranteed salaries).
5) If Sanchez disappoints in 2012, the Jets may be able to trade him. They aren't necessarily locked into keeping him for the next two seasons. Why would anyone want to trade for Sanchez at that point? Well, teams would only have to make a $8.75 million commitment ($20.5M minus $11.75M paid in 2012) for a four-year contract. That could happen unless Sanchez regresses badly.
The Jets also certainly examined the free agent market for quarterbacks after the 2012 season before making this move. Matt Schaub is the headliner for a relatively thin 2013 free agent quarterback class. If Sanchez struggled in 2012, where would they turn? Would owner Woody Johnson agree to start over with a new quarterback in the 2013 draft?
So, the Jets decided that investing in Sanchez for 2013 would be the strategically sound course of action.
The worst case scenario for Gang Green: Sanchez regresses badly in 2012 and can’t be dealt after the season. If he underperforms again in 2013, the Jets could simply release him.
In short, the team gave Sanchez guaranteed money in 2013 and threw in a little extra cash ($2.75 million) in exchange for getting a potentially favorable deal from 2014-2016.
It’s a risk that the Jets’ braintrust was clearly willing to take.

Sounds like a pretty good deal for the Jets now as bad as Sanchez is playing right now.

I wonder if Tebow will do a dirty Sanchez.
RE: Mark Sanchez vs. Tim Tebow - AUTiger7222 - 12-02-2012 07:49 PM
Rex Ryan is such a bitch. He's said all season "I can't bench Sanchez because it will hurt his little feelings." Then on a day when Tebow is inactive do to a ribs injury he benches Sanchez for Greg McElroy who wins the game for the Jets. This just really pisses me off.

The Jets will be dismantled in the off season,who knows who the QB will be.

Correct. But Ryan and the way he's made Tebow look this season has done a lot of harm to Tebow ever getting a chance to play QB.

Rex is doing him a favor. Tebow playing would show the entire NFL he has no business playing QB. He needs to switch to H-back and be done with it. That way he can still be a good teammate and help some team win without bringing the circus to town.
