Jets Vs. Patriots: Why The New York Jets Can't Win With Mark Sanchez at QB

NOTE: This article was first seen at PatriotsPlus.net.

The most important position position in football is the quarterback. If you want to win, you need to have a talented quarterback. However, the New York Jets quarterback, Mark Sanchez, is just average. 

Sanchez' performance has been up-and-down this year for the Jets, and he's been very inaccurate. 

He has completed only 54 percent of his passes; you can't win with a quarterback who throws an incomplete pass half of the time. It's that simple. 

The last Super Bowl winning quarterbacks have been Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. 

All quarterbacks are and were considered elites in league, and Sanchez is far from being considered elite.

The game has changed over the past five to ten years, and it's now a passing league. It's a quarterback's league.

You can't get it done with a quarterback who is very inaccurate and when the offensive coordinator tries to "simplify" everything for the quarterback. You just can't win like that.

Sanchez and the Jets will come into Foxborough this Sunday, and Sanchez has not fared very well when he pays a visit to New England. 

In two games here, Sanchez has been an interception machine. He has thrown seven interceptions. That's right, seven. 

Sure, Sanchez is young and still learning, but the game is next Sunday, not in three years. 

On top of Sanchez' very inconsistent and average play, he has been suffering from an injured right shoulder. However, he says it's the best it's been in weeks, but who knows. 

I just can't see the Jets getting anything done with Sanchez right now. He might be too young and inexperienced or he just might be not good enough. 

All in all, the Patriots will take care of business this Sunday, no doubt.
