But the #1 reason? Sanchez is willing to throw 12-16 passes a game. Favre's ego is way too big to sit back and watch his team run 57 times a game. As much as I dislike Schottenheimer, I feel like he was handcuffed by having to install a pass-happy offense last year to satisfy the cumslinger. Because of Sanchez's development and maturity, he's willing to defer to the running game, and that's the most important thing a QB can do in this system right now. I'd rather have a QB throw for 100 yards and make no mistakes than the forced passes Favre would give us with our running game and defense (GET WELL DAVID HARRIS, UGH).
Joey, I understand where you are coming from, but I really think that this team would have a realistic shot at the SB with this years healthy Favre under center. He was banged up last year and trying to learn a new offense for the first time in countless years. Also I could see Ryan giving Favre the keys to the offense (which seems to be better this year) as opposed to the Mangenius ruling with an iron fist. If the Jets make it out of the first round, they might have to play in a shootout against Colts/Chargers and I'm not sure Sanchez can win a game like that this early in his career.
They are built to win now and the only thing that might hold them up is the QB.
