Don't go revisionist history on us. Sanchez sucked from the start. The difference was that his team overcame that in years one and two, but got too old and broken to keep it up after that. There's only so long you can carry dead weight. The same thing might, or might not, have happened with Tebow. We'll never know, though, because of the fivehead.
I'm not being revisionist. Young first year starters are held to a different standard than established vets. You expect them to make mistakes and you don't expect them to play as well as someone like Manning or Brady. Ergo, you don't evaluate them the same way.
Yes, the Jet's running game and defense carried the team, but Sanchez did all right for young starter. Like I said, the problem was that he never progressed from that.
