The New York Jets lost in the AFC Championship in back-to-back years in 2009 and 2010. The quarterback at the helm? Mark Sanchez. Sure, he didn't get much of the credit for the team's success, but that's mainly because he wasn't asked to lead the offense the way most NFL quarterbacks are. Still, leading your team to two-straight conference championships in your first two seasons is quite the accomplishment.

One former teammate, however, who was unimpressed with Sanchez's play is Darrelle Revis. Revis was a big reason for the Jets' success in both seasons, but he thinks just the opposite of his former quarterback Sanchez.

"We almost made it [in 2009 and ’10], and we didn’t have a quarterback," Revis said in a cover story for Sports Illustrated. "Mark was solid. He wasn’t elite."

Ouch. Revis held back nothing with that comment, even if he did try to save himself by saying Mark was "solid." Sorry, Darrelle. There's no going back now. I'm not disagreeing that the Jets didn't have a quarterback, but I also didn't play with Sanchez for four seasons.

So one sentence you don't have a QB and another sentence you say he's solid? :what: Not every team can have an "elite" QB, hence the term "elite"

People are ridiculous about Sanchez. Go back and look at those playoff runs, specifically the AFC Championships and he was one of the better players (for those games) on the field with almost no talent on offense. They just ran into much better teams. I remember all season they would talk about how "tough" Mark was going into big games against good teams and laying an egg but that he he would bounce back the next game and show resilience. The dumbass storylines created by sports media is hilarious. Mark was a serviceable QB on a shytty offense with no talent. He's not great but at his best, he is good. We have seen him make play with talent around him in Philly and he made some great runs. Its just easy to shyt on him after all that happened w/the Jets. Kept him on a short leash to game manage his first year and lackluster receivers. Got better but avg at best recievers the next year that he actually grew with, then the year you say that you will "take the reins off him" and open the playbook to let him grow with the recievers he did have, you trade them away, let Thomas go and made the team the most one dimensional offense in the league with no talent whatsoever. The Jets and Ryan are QB killers. It wasnt exclusive to Sanchez. Geno and Vick showed that.

well he's right. That 09 defense graded out as one of the best of all time and we had Sanchez on a traffic light system :scusthov:
