Can't Just Blame Sanchez
I refuse to put all the blame on Sanchez.
Our offensive plays are so poor and predictible.
We ALWAYS are in 3rd and long situations making the throw and obvious call.
We don't have Leon Washington to be around for a short dump pass as an option when there is no one open down the field.
We also need another wide receiver. Brad Smith is good for a trick play here and there but we need another guy to get open besides Cotcherty, Edwards, and Keller.
Mark definitely makes his share of mistakes but he's trying to make things happen instead of continuing to go Run Run Pass Punt.
Hopefully these mistakes go away after a year of experience.
Look at Troy Aikman's first year - He finished 1989 with an 0-11 record as a starter, completing 155 of 293 passes for 1,749 yards, 9 TDs, 18 INTs.
So, Sanchez is learning on the run as we fix other parts of this team.
Despite all of the interceptions, there are FIVE games we blew - 2 vs. Dolphins, Jaguars, Bills, and Falcons. If we figured out how to win just ONE of them, we'd be sitting in much better shape.
Rex Ryan needs to take some of this blame. The defense needs to take some of this blame. The offense needs to take some of this blame. Special teams needs to take some of this blame. And Sanchez needs to take some of the blame. Oh, and Mike Tannenbaum needs to take some blame not drafting a Wide Receiver in this past year's draft with any of the other picks.
