Reasons for drafting Sanchez

And Schottenheimer only went with a few passing plays where Sanchez was able to deliver the ball with timing and accuracy. He could have had some really head-turning playoff numbers if Braylon would have helped him out more than just once.

Of course, the credit to schotty comes with an asterix: there's no reason the Jets couldn't have been this sort of offensive team the entire year. After the fast start, they let Sanchez out there on his own and he cost them a bunch of games and developed some really awful habits that he still struggled with in the postseason. Even the bomb to Edwards yesterday for the 80 yard TD was thrown falling away from pressure, not looking and off his back foot. I mean, the throw was perfect, but he's not going to be able to get away with that the rest of his career.

Still, Jets fans have to be encouraged. It was Ryan's defense that let them down yesterday.

He's a rookie who only played one year of college. He was going to make mistakes and the Jets coaches knew that. But the long TD to Edwards was sweet. He had Dwight Freeney bearing down on him. Sometimes guys don't have time to set their feet and throw. That was all Sanzhez there....real nice play.
