The Leading Authority of the NFL Draft

N.Y. Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, according to the Newark-Star Ledger, completed just one of nine passes with one interception during 11-on-11 drills Thursday.

Mancini’s Take: America’s favorite GQ model found out that he’s not playing for SC anymore. There are going to be guys in his face all game long in the big leagues and he better get used to completing passes with defenders constantly breathing down his neck. Sanchez was clearly flustered yesterday. He’ll have to roll with punches if he’s looking to become the next Broadway Joe, Rosstradamus. Joe Willie might have been a pretty boy to some, but he took an unbelievable amount of punishment and valiantly kept fighting, knee injuries and all.

Mandel's Take: He did indeed roll with the punches after his shaky performance. He spoke about how helpful it was to play against such terrific defenders and also readily admitted that he had miles to go before he's ready for prime time. He gets it, and it's a good thing--Sanchez is going to be the starter when the curtain rises for the 2009 season. He'd better learn quickly because teams will be throwing the kitchen sink at him from the first snap. He'll be taking plenty of punishment Rev, don't worry.
