Jets Coach Rex Ryan Bench Mark Sanchez

Now that the season is over, Coach Rex Ryan did what he should have done weeks ago, bench Mark Sanchez.

As a fan, I don't see the reason for benching Sanchez at this moment, unless you plan on making a quarterback switch next season. The question is, will Ryan even be there himself.

Now, before I go any further I won't just put all the blame on Ryan. I really blame the GM for not providing Ryan with a second string quarterback. Instead they go and get Tim Tebow. We must all face the fact that Tebow is not a quarterback that can come in and score points. He is a special player that you can use on special downs.Maybe that was the reason Ryan had no choice but to stick with Sanchez.

Sanchez is like most USC Trojans quarterbacks that make it to the NFL, they are overrated. If you were to go back and look at the schedule of former USC quarterbacks that turn pro, you would discover that they were playing teams that they could dominate and because of that you never see if the players really have talent. Putting up 60 points a game against unranked teams can make anybody look good. The same goes for Tim Tebow when he was at Florida. Nobody on the schedule to really really compete against.

Even though the Jets won the game on Sunday 7-6 against the Arizona Cardinals, it was one of the worst, if not the worst game ever played in the NFL. Sanchez had 3 interceptions before we could even blink our eyes good. The Cardinal only came up with 2 field goals so that says a lot about them also.

The Jets have a lot of talent and if they can just find a quarterback that could protect the ball, they could still compete with any team.
