Mark Sanchez gets his chance for the next 4-6 weeks. How does this pan out?

[BennyBigNuts]

Something tells me a change of scenery and this golden opportunity he now has with Foles out at least a month, he's going to surprise a few ppl and do pretty good, even though I really can't stand this bitch ass diva.
He has a decent schedule in his favor also:

8:30 pm ET Mon Nov 10		CAR
1:00 pm ET Sun Nov 16		at GB
1:00 pm ET Sun Nov 23		TEN
4:30 pm ET Thu Nov 27		at DAL

Anyone think he can go 3-1?

Let's face it, Foles hasn't been turning any heads as the starter. He has an awful Qb rating and his numbers are average at best.
I really don't think if Sanchez goes 3-1 here you will see him yanked that easily.
If he performs anything like he did yesterday it will be tough for Chip to sit him.
15-22 202 yards 2 td's 2 picks (1 wasn't his fault).

I look back at a 2010 Jets team that made it to the playoffs. Led by Sanchez Yes, but really led by that defense. He was pretty sub par that year on a 11-5 Jets Team, that made it to the AFC Championship Game.

He had a weak game to get by the colts in the wild card, but he did show up for the upset in New England, 3 TD, 194 Yards Road win to take his squad to the AFC Championship...

He had his chance to be the come back kid against the Steelers that year but fell short.

This 2010 Jets team was the best team Sanchez has played on, look at the numbers, nothing exciting to me.

2010- 16 Games Played

YDS

AVG

TD

LNG

INT

FUM

QBR

RAT

3,291

6.49

17

74

13

5

49.2

75.3

Then you look at his numbers the next season and on paper look better, but a lot of that was garbage time when the Jets went 8-8 in 2012 and didn't make the playoffs..

Yea this eagles team has weapons no doubt, but good old Butt Fumble Sanchez has had a great supporting cast and was just sub par... I wouldn't get your hopes up... He had a huge contract for 20+ Million back in 2011 on a 3 year deal and 20 mil was guaranteed. Has just been coasting since that deal... This this is probably his last shot at getting looks as a starter so maybe if he has been training hard and waiting for this moment he will shine.

[BennyBigNuts]

Great post.
I'm not rooting for him.
I just feel like he's in a system he can do well in and also Foles has been a disappointment so he has a chance if he performs well.

3-1 hahhahaha come on really Stinkchez 3-1
Most likey he goes 1-3 beating only Tenn the other games not much of a chance with this clownHow qickly they forget

[klemopixx]

I think this offense is a good match for his skill set. He needs to work on his exchange with the RB's and all of the fakes and progressions which are key. He won't be under center, so no butt fumble and he can run a little better than Foles. It will be interesting to see how Chip Kelly tailors the play calling to fit Sanchez, he throws a better deep ball and has a quicker release than Nick. With three healthy RB's, and the O-line getting the starters back, there won't be a ton of pressure to throw all day. This offense could start hitting on all gears like last year, should be interesting!

That's because he was on a Shitty Jets team and he is more than capable of having a level of success at Philly.
But the goal is to win the Super Bowl and Foles or Sanchez will not get it done.

[jose21_us]

2-2 at best....

[ByeShea]

El Sancho 4-0, book it. Rex Ryan will have a heart attack.

[opie1988]

I saw several posts last night where guys were saying Sanchez will actually be a "better fit for Kelly's offense."

I love the fact that guys watching SportsCenter and posting on SBR feel confident that they have seen something that Chip Kelly and staff have apparently missed through training camp and the first 9 weeks of the season.

Yes, clearly Sanchez is a better option than Foles. Those morons on the sidelines and up in the booth are just too ignorant to see that.

[jjgold]

This offense suits him well and he will definitely hold his own this is a quarterback that has been to two AFC championship games

But what does being under center have to do with how he fumbled?

He's been to two AFC championship games? Really?

Come on man! You think Carolina comes in next Monday and wins? Even with FOLES the two away games were gonna be tough. And I agree with Benny, FOLES has had a somewhat subpar year so far. The system kelly runs will allow him to produce. With that being said, 2-2 seems logical. Dallas D not a good as everyone thought. 10-6 wins this divison anyway.

[jjgold]

He's been to two AFC championship games? Really?

Sanchez, who led the New York Jets to the AFC championship game in his first two seasons in the NFL, quickly scored after entering the game. He set the touchdown up with a 52-yard pass to Jeremy Maclin, then scored with an 11-yard pass to Jordan Matthews.

Sorry Opie, but I never watch Sportscenter or ESPN for that matter unless its an actual game obviously.
The only time I witness that joke of a network is when forced to watch it in the break rooms at work.
Don't know if you remember, but this preseason there were plenty of ppl around the team that wondered if Sanchez should start. But they gave Foles a ton of money and there was no way he was going to lose his job before at least losing it himself in the regular season.
It can happen.
Foles is garbage, I'm not saying Sanchez is great, but he could be a better option. Not to mention great playoff experience.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

lets remember, Vick was starting QB Kelly picked last year. Foles only inserted bcause of Vick injuries. Of course you're not going to sit a guy who had 27TDS and 2INT last season. Foles is product of Kellys system. Hoping Sanchez can do the same.

Not including you in my analogy, pal. It was in a few threads from last night. I personally am afraid this may work out ok for the Eagles. Sanchez is clearly a better option as a backup QB than POS Brandon Weeden. Pisses me off.

Now my hope is that he flames out like a motherfukker, and takes the Eagles down with him.

[jjgold]

Sanchez would of won superbowl with Dallas

Rex fuked him

[USCPHILLYGUY]

uscphillyguy prob blew a load in his pants when foles went down

actually no. Although I have alliance to my Alma Mata and my hometown, I'm also a realist. Both players have their limits and the injuries keep piling up for the eagles. Ryans will be a big loss

[KRIT]

All it means is a shit ton of media coverage on Sanchez and the Eagles now. Media loves this guy, they won't be able to get enough.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Foles is still playing on his relatively cheap rookie deal.

Sanchez is not good. A walking turnover machine. There is enough talent on offense around him to keep them in games. They should be ok in division since the team behind them is still Dallas.

[AZ*SUN*iBET4FUN]

Great post.

I wouldn't be surprised if he could cover 1-2 of those games, I would hope a Tennessee cover at home and maybe Carolina, but GB and Dallas will be hungry at home.. And he's been on the back burner for so long, really depends on how much work he's been doing since end of 2012.. I think he got benched his last game that season in the 2H and the injury in early 2013 he's been doing nothing for a while... Just depends on how you train and live day to day.. Look at McCoy you can tell he's been waiting for his shot all season since RG3 went down, Weeden on the other hand just looked god awful against the cards, like he hasn't been preparing for that opportunity.

Didn't they dump a bunch of money into Foles last year? Coulda sworn I saw him sign a hefty deal?

[Dollars2Donuts]

First off Benny, good post. Definitely should lead to some good discussion (or as good as possible on SBR)....and to Opie as well....

Sanchez actually had an awesome preseason. I am not sure if Kelly would have ever considered starting him no matter how great he was and how badly Foles stunk it up, but he must have opened his eyes a little bit. And of course once the season started and the Eagles started winning there was no way that Foles was coming out....but, was Foles the reason they were winning? I doubt anyone would be led to believe that.

Dont get me wrong...I hate Sanchez, BUT I think he could be a good for here. The pressure is finally off, it is a better system for him to actually show his talents AND he has no doubt matured. He is still young, and my feeling is that he comes in and does well.

I think 3-1 is possible and maybe even likely, yes I said likely!

[jtoler]

Dont think it will pan out good, a success in my eyes would be 3-3 over six weeks thats without even looking at the opponents, I dont think he will go .500. But they have a few weapons and he's nothing more than a game manager so we will see.

[klemopixx]

Foles is on the last year of his rookie deal. This kills his chances at a mega deal, unless he comes back at years end and tears through the playoffs. QB drama in Phily, sports talk radio loves this stuff! As for Sanchez, can't wait for next Monday night!

[KRIT]

You guys think the media loves this now? Just wait a month for Seahawks vs Eagles. Pete Caroll vs the beloved Sanchize. Espn will probably do a 30 for 30 on it.

[byronbb]

The real question is do I play Sanchez or Vick for Luck's bye week........

Sanchez and it isn't even a question worth asking.

[jimminn]

Sanchez is a better quarterback than Foles . Foles won't be starting again. He is done.

[EaglesPhan36]

This is Deja Vu from two years ago when Foles stole the job from Vick. Very similar situations. Vick got scared feet and poor mechanics because he was playing behind an OL that was decimated by injuries early. Foles came in with a quicker release and was fearless in the pocket.

Turn to this year, Foles now has the scared feet and poor mechanics because he's been playing behind a make-shift OL for several weeks. I think as with Vick in 2012, it got to be a mental thing for Foles and he let it effect his plays, reads, etc. Enter Sanchez like Foles did and perhaps you have a fresh approach with someone who is again eager to claim the job as Foles was in 2012.

I think Foles will be out at least six weeks. Looking over that stretch, if Sanchez goes 4-2 and the offense is productive, I think it will be tough to break up the chemistry. If the offense continues its turnover prone ways though, even if they are winning as they are now, I think Foles reclaims the job - but I also don't think he's back in until 100% healthy.

I am looking for McCoy, Sproles and Polk to start getting the ball a bit more than they have and for the running game to get re-established as it should have been weeks ago to help keep pressure off the QB and really open up things.

[Otters27]

Sanchez should fare well in the Eagles system. Then he will get traded and suck for another team.

[laclippers504]

He WILL Throw SOME Deep Bombs BUT Also WILL Throw SOME picks

Who is 3rd string on Philly ...tell him to start warming up Stinkchez wont be there lone
