re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I have to admit, I had my doubts about Sanchez but it looks like he's developing ahead of schedule. 13/17 for 119 yards and 1:1 TD:INT ratio is a very good night for a young QB. If he continues at this pace then the Jets will be more then capable of living up to their preseason hype.

Anybody else impressed with the Giants new stadium? Watching the Jones-Mahal and now the Giants build a great new outdoors stadium makes me wish we still played at RFK. I like what DS did with putting up the new HD boards but I will openly admit looking at the Cowboys and Giants new digs makes me wish we had a state of the art stadium.

I've realized that I'm not to crazy about stadiums without a backdrop and/or a few creative structures. The New Giants Stadium seems like a shinier version of the old one, in that it's a giant bowl meant to seat as many people as possible. Our stadium is similar in that it's really just a giant bowl.

Right now I'd say that for me, the Ravens, Steelers, Titans, Patriots, Buc's, and Seahawks are among the nicest stadiums in the NFL. At least in terms of how it looks on TV. Ugliest include the Rams, Vikings, Saints, Raiders, and Dolphins are among the worst for me.

Still there's something to be said for being shiny.

Re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Sanchez is going to be a star, both in fantasy and in real life. His QB play is best characterized as Jekyll/Hyde, with the Hyde due to him being a rookie learning the ropes. Once he learns the ropes, the Jets will be riding that gravy train to multiple Super Bowls and people will be bowing down to his awesome 1337ness. I already have.

Re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I'm not so confident in Fez Sanchez. USC QBs do not have a great track record in the Pros, but I just don't see him being a top QB. He'll be better than last year, of course, but I don't see him being a star, especially with the NY media to destroy him with every mistake. Another 12 TD and 23 TO season and he'll be gone though. He's lucky to have the Jets' O-line, defense and now Tomlinson/top WRs to help him along. If he can't develop with all that talent around him, something is seriously wrong.

His ceiling could be more like a Frank Reich or Vinny Testeverde than Montana/Manning. He'll have some highlights and moments, but in the end, will be average.

Sorry CP, Sanchez will be better than JC, but no Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. He might end up better than Eli though. He has a nice arm and will do well for himself, but he isn't going to get the Jets into the SB anytime soon.

Re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

By the way, did y'all see my man John Skelton (Jevan who?) rally the Cards this weekend?

5/6 84 yards and a TD. Watch your back Leinart...and Anderson

I agree. A stadium needs some unique character. Is that too much to ask?

Oakland has the worst looking stadium by far. And the superdome really needs upgrades. Tampas is the nicest I've been to

Never said he was destined to be a first-ballot HoFmer, but Jay Cutler has more than enough ability to smoke these two fellas all the way to the moon should everything go right for him.

Anyway, Jets fans have more to worry about their defense being overwhelmed because they're too blitz-happy than Sanchez bringing his maggot game because he ain't gonna be a maggot for much longer.

Good no great QB's don't need things to go right for them they make whats around them better IMO.

I was referring more to injuries since Martz tends to let his QBs take a heavy punishment.
Cutler has a rocket arm, accurate, "nerdy" in that he pays attention to details, and can move the pocket well. He's got the physical and mental gifts to take the league by storm (again).
Watch, those no-name Chicago receivers will be making the highlight reels week after week.

It's no coincidence that the worst decade in terms of style, building materials, and color use ended up producing the ugliest stadiums.

- Kingdome
- Pontiac Silverdome
- Three Rivers Stadium
- Veterans Stadium
- Texas Stadium
- Ralph Wilson Stadium
- Superdome

To me all of these were/are the ugliest stadiums in the league and it's no coincidence that they were all built in the 70's. To me Arrowhead is the only nice stadium to have been completed in the 70's and survived long enough to still look nice. The old Giants stadium was also decent but nothing special.

It's funny to because the oldest stadiums in terms of ambiance and atmosphere still looked much better then their 70's counterparts. The two most tenured being Lambeau and Solider Field. Qualcomm is pretty nice as well, at least on TV. I've heard that San Diego really needs a new stadium. RFK also looked pretty nice, though it to was nothing really special in terms of architecture. Still I don't cringe when I see cut away shots on old highlight reels.

Peter King says Haslett told him he expects Big Al to play about 65% of snaps. King should have a report up soon on his visit to Skins camp today. Should be pretty positive, heavy praise for both Shanahans, concern about WRs
