What I saw on Sanchez coming out was that his throwing motion was elongated and he took too long getting the ball out. He also wasn't forced to read defenses because he often went to his initial read, and nearly as often the read was designed into the play, the play would call for him to rollout cutting the field in half and giving him basically one read to make. On top of all that he wasn't nearly as accurate as his statline made it seem. The receiver was almost always forced to adjust to the ball.
What I saw yesterday were those same things, just this time they didn't work out because there wasn't a vast difference in ability between the two teams.
I said that Sanchez needed two years before he would be ready to start. He has been progessivly getting worse as this year goes on, mainly due to the gape tape that NFL DCs are getting their hands on. At this point you are risking his confidence and any chance he may have had at being a legit NFL QB, plus in NY it's not going to take him long to go from Sanchize to Scrubchize. And if the NY fans/media turn on him, he'll never make it in NY.
This can't be understated. Remember the coach went from "Mangenious" COY to unemployed in 2 years. Personally, there's nothing that made me think he'd be anything special, but they could have given him a better chance by not throwing him in there in Game 1.
