Preseason cranks up tomorrow and that means we're less than a month from games that count.

This is the best time of year.

The hilarious thing about the game is that Tebow was 0 for 1 on passing and still had a higher passer rating than Sanchez.

How is Mark Sanchez that pathetic as the QB of the Jets right now? Why did they give him an extension? Better yet, why did they trade up in the Draft to choose him that high back then either? He was ALWAYS overrated coming out of USC. He only started one year in College. The history of USC QBs haven't been great and he continues to make that list true. Matt Barkley is next to either join that list or prove them wrong. But back to the Jets, they really need to let Tebow start or even Greg McElroy. This team is shambles and they need to clean house in when the offseason begins in a few weeks.

Miami is still alive. They're a lot better than I thought they would be. I mean it's doubtful they make it in, but they're really not that bad, and probably weren't as bad as I thought they were last season.

Rams are still in it too.

Giants, Cowboys, Redskins, Bengals, Steelers, Bears, Seahawks, Dolphins, Vikings, Rams all face must win games in week 16. Who did I miss? There are quite a few teams in the NFC still alive.

The Texans & Falcons are both overrated IMO and I don't see either of them making it to the SB. The Texans have the better chance of the two IMO as they are the better team but there's two reasons why I don't see them beating either the Broncos or Pats.

1. Their secondary is terrible and will struggle mightily against Brady and Peyton.
2. Matt Schaub shrinks under pressure and has a history of disappearing in big games, especially national TV games so I have low expectations for him in a playoff game especially considering he's 30+ years old and has never played in one.

I'm not making excuses for Sanchez. He's been terrible for a while now. Even without Tebow he still would have stunk it up this year.

Mike Tannenbaum and Woody Johnson have pretty much destroyed what should have been a very promising era for the Jets. Rex isn't blameless and lord knows the majority of the "circus" headlines are down to him. But I think you'll find that those circus headlines weren't quite as bad when the Jets were actually winning and the winning was down to Rex.

Sanchez probably never had the personality to be an NFL QB, he showed he had the talent but his confidence has completely gone. He's pretty much an even more damaged David Carr at this point. His contract extension is one of the worst moves in the history of he NFL, probably second to acquiring Tim Tebow. For this Mike Tannenbaum should be shot. In the head. I don't blame us for picking him, the NFL is about getting franchise QB's, sometimes you have to swing and miss, but we kept swinging with this guy and pretty much swung our way into a coma. We have to move on from Sanchez now, 14m hit I think if we cut him and even more if we cut him the following season, so yeah we're fucked but we have to bite the bullet and take the hit now, that albatross has to fucking go.

As for Rex. I genuinely feel that had he had a good to elite NFL QB, he probably has two SB rings as our HC. He's all about defense, and although that limits him it's still worth it when the defense improves to the extent ours has under Rex. I'd give at least another year in a new regime, with a new QB, the only possible downgrade to Sanchez was acquired last offseason, so you can't really not improve. That young front on that defense is developing well, with Mo the fucking beast Wilkerson at the heart of it. I'd rather see Rex over that unit that just about anyone.

Edit: Also, as much as I hate Tebow as a player, I don't doubt he's telling the truth when he says Tannenbaum and Woody Johnson lied to him about his role. For all his flaws, Tebow is a good guy while Tannebaum and Johnson are very bad people.
