You know it is football season when anonymous Jets players make statements to the media about other players. Last year reports were saying that the Jets’ locker room did not like having Tim Tebow there and wanted Mark Sanchez to be their starter. Now, a year later and no more Tebow, the locker room has turned on Sanchez and now he is the one being ousted. The anonymous player said that most people like Sanchez as a person, but think his time on the field is over. This comes after Sanchez throwing three interceptions in the team’s OTAs. Geno Smith, on the other hand, only threw one. The source continues by saying that New York will not cut Sanchez until they are sure Smith can takeover the starting role.
It is time for this circus to end. The Jets are falling further and further into an abyss of failure. At this point, it will take a lot more than Geno Smith to repair this team especially if Sanchez is still on the roster. They need to let him go and he needs to learn from a veteran somewhere else. He needs to go far away from New York where there will be very little pressure and low expectations. It is clear he has not confidence anymore and reports like this are only making this worse. The Jets also need to STOP having such a close relationship with the media. Enough is enough.
