I didn't think the Jets (or at least the majority of them) booed Sanchez. Maybe there were a few that were upset, but once the trade was announced, who did they really think the pick was going to be? If they didn't select Sanchez there, they would have needed riot police.

hes no bret farve..

If we had a ton of picks to begin with, I wouldn't have minded the deal. But we ended up with basically two picks, and Sanchez will have no one to throw the ball to even if he excels this year. We're banking on David Clowney to become a #1/#2? Really? I'm not a big Shonn Greene fan either. I hope I'm wrong about both picks, but right now I feel like the defense will have to be amazing, because there will be no passing game to speak of.

The offseason is far from over and there are wideouts to be had. I can see the Jets putting something together and making a pitch for one of these guys. If the report of them contacting Burress' agent are true, that right there tells you that they are in the market for a bigtime WR.

i don't think he will do jail time - it's an opinion , i think the giants were just tired of him , but, i say he gets community service

I believe that the Giants would have taken him back. But since his court date/trial (which was supposed to take place at the beginning of the month) was delayed until I believe June, forced the Giants hand. They just couldn't afford to sit there, wait and do nothing until the trial. Then if he gets jail time, then they are really screwed. Instead they released him and went on their way on making their team better.

I don't know where this idea that he may not do jail time is coming from, but I do know New York State law. The charge that he is facing is called a Class C Violent Felony which carries a minimum of 3 1/2 years jail, maximum 15 years. Even if he could somehow get the Manhattan District Attorney to offer a lower level felony where generally there is no minimum jail sentence, there is a specific exception for loaded guns that requires a minimum of a 1 year jail sentence, unless mitigating circumstances can be shown. While an argument can be made that mitigating circumstances exist here in that Burress did not point the gun at or threaten anyone with it, he did not shoot or hurt anyone other than himself, and there does not seem to be any intent to use it other than to have it to defend himself, Judges will rarely agree to mitigating circumstances and it is a tough sell in any case, let alone one being scruitinized by the media.

The Manhattan DA, as most prosecutors in the New York Metropolitan Area, tend to be tough on loaded guns. While nothing surprises me in criminal law, I do have to believe that considering the plea bargain statutory restrictions, it is highly likely that Burress is going to jail for at least a year, or more likely, at least 2 years even on a reduced plea bargain.

There is a reason why the Giants cut ties with him.

I think the good thing for the Jets/Sanchez is, when they were playing well last year they were doing it with the run. They still have all the proponents of the running game there. So Sanchez won't be needed to come in and have to throw for 350 yards every week. They do need to get him another weapon or two, if for any reason just to keep defenses honest. But I think this is a good situation he is walking in to.

I think Sanchez is the best QB that was drafted... No way would I spend a #1 pick on Stafford. If I were the lions I would have traded down or picked up Sanchez/Smith/Curry.

I get where you are coming from Joey with the no WR's thing.. but you can always pick them up.. Sanchez is IMO a franchise QB who will have an awesome career. He really should not start this year, but knowing how trigger happy teams are these days they will probably throw him in.

The future of the Jets is much better with this guy on your team.

Throw in the fact that Rex Ryan got to see it happen first hand, successfully, just last year. The Jets are one playmaker away offensively.

I dont know... just because it worked out well last year for Flacco and Ryan, doesnt mean it should be the norm. I believe it is very beneficial for a QB to spend a year or two learning the system before they start.

I dont know much about the Jets o-line... is it solid? They had a good running game last year so it must be decent at least right?

Here's my problem with this justification, and I hate using the term but: the Jets are built to win now. Even if Sanchez does develop to be great in 2-3 years, it's really one step forward and two steps back.

Look at all of the freaking money we've spent the last two offseasons. Now we're just going to let these contracts get paid out while waiting for a quarterback to develop?

Kris Jenkins is gonna be useless in two years. So is Faneca. TJ will be useless in two years. Pace is in his prime, Revis and Harris are entering their primes, Lito Sheppard is basically in a contract year this season. Leon will hopefully re-sign, but who knows for sure if he'll be here after this season? We just gave a billion dollars to Bart Scott, etc. etc.

The point is that I don't wanna hear about the Jets' future when we spent $200 million the last two offseasons. I don't wanna hear about how great Sanchez is gonna be in three years. Even if that pans out, what kind of team will he inherit and how much wasted money will there have been?

What's really disappointing to me is the overwhelming positive reaction from Jet fans. I understand that we haven't drafted a potential franchise QB in a while, and Sanchez is definitely an exciting pick, but jeez, these idiots are exactly the people Woody was banking on when demanding this trade. "OOOH! A SHINY NEW QUARTERBACK! CAN'T WAIT TO BUY HIS JERSEY SIX MONTHS BEFORE HE TAKES A SNAP!" They're also the same people who were turning over cars when Tangini didn't draft Leinart.

If they go out and get a receiver (who are these tons of receivers available?), he'd better be cheap. After the Sanchez contract gets done, the Jets will have next to no cap room.

Package up something nice and call Mangini for Brickhands, I mean Braylon Edwards. (that was tough to do to a Michigan alum.) In all honesty, I have no clue as to what they should do, but it has to be something. Mark CLayton and Malcom Floyd are unsigned restricted if i'm not mistaken.
