08/26 — Word is filtering out that rookie Mark Sanchez has been named the Jets’ starting quarterback for opening day, Sunday, Sept. 13, when the Jets open their Rex Ryan era against the Texans at Houston.
ESPN1050 New York and SNY are both reporting today that Ryan met with both quarterbacks this morning and told them that the decision has been made that Sanchez has gotten the starting nod over fourth-year veteran Kellen Clemens.
Sanchez was the fifth overall selection in the April draft. He and Clemens began their quarterback competition shortly after and have been at it into the first two preseason games.
Ryan will talk about his quarterback decision and other Jets matters with reporters after today’s open practice at about 2 p.m. That news conference will be streamed live on newyorkjets.com. Ryan will also be interviewed on ESPN1050 at 5 p.m. today.

Wed, August 26, 2009 - 9:42am ET"There was no good reason to do this. Ryan should have waited until after the Jints game to make the decision. If Sanchez flops again this week it could undermine the team the rest of the year. He was awful this weekend and Clemens out played him not by much but he did. Why the rush? He is definitely no Matt Ryan and there is more risk of long term damage than good doing it this way."
Mike Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 9:42am ET"Randy, what effect do you think this will have on Clemens at this point? I imagine he will want to be traded after being deemed #2 once again with the Jets. I think Ainge is also ready to step up into that #2 position. Maybe we could get a WR for Clemens & some draft picks? Pizzotti is back on the roster after all & can probably be the #3."
OriginalJetFan Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 9:55am ET"Namath--Todd--O'Brien--Easison-Testaverde-Pennington-- and now Sanchez. all the rest were fill ins, place holders, Boomer and Vinny are only included because they're Long Island boys. Favre doesnt exist. take us to the promised land Mark, it's been 40 yrs of wandering in the desert."
Brian I Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 9:58am ET"I am glad the decision was made, I didn't see a significant enough lead for Clemens to get the job. With four years in the system he should have blown away Sanchez....Let him get his reps with the first stringers and LETS GO JETS!"
Row Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 9:58am ET"Stupid move. The guy throws a pick 6, botches a few snaps, gets delay of game calls, forgets how to hand the ball to a RB, and you promote him because you paid him 40+ million and drafted him high.. I see the next Chad when it comes to injury. I think Clemens knew all along that it wasn't going to be him, thought he outplayed Sanchez in preseason though. Upset Jet Fan. Gonna be a long season. "
Joe Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:03am ET"Great news! I think thats the right decision. Sanchez may not be perfect, but he won't back down or fold under pressure."
Coops Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:06am ET"Excellent news. Gives #6 almost 3 full weeks of first team reps to get him ready for opening day in Houston. Got to get on the same page as his O-Line and Cotch, Keller, TJ, Leon and whoever is behind the door as wideout #2."
Ira Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:06am ET"Rex made the right call. GO JETS!!!!"
80 Fan Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:17am ET"Excellent choice! Id' rather go 8-8 with a rookie, than 8-8 with KC. He had his chance. In fact, he had a number of chances. He just does not have the juice. I would start grooming EA to take the number 2 spot now and part ways with KC. Send him to the Browns to reunite with his clueless leader Mangini. "
Howard Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:17am ET"congratulations to sanchez as i would guess most fans thought this would happencan wait to get to the practice today anf get a good look anf the next starting qb of the nyj LETS GO JETS AND MARK SANCHEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"
Neil T Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:17am ET"Not a historical Clemens fan, but it seems like he did not get a real shot on Monday Night. He was thrown in cold to run a two minute drill from inside the 20 against the Ravens defense. Having said that, if Sanchez has better skills then I am glad they made the decision early."

Shep Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:24am ET"Ok, we finally got that over with. We all knew Sanchez was going to start, so now at least it's official. Now let's put our efforts into getting Leon and TJ signed to new deals, naming Clowney our #2 receiver, and trading one of our QB's for a big time wide receiver. I would trade Clemens and keep Ainge myself, but that's just me. Anyone else's ideas? Good luck Mark, I'm behind you buddy."
Anthony Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:25am ET"I think this was the right move. Throw him to the wolves so he can learn and now the chemistry will get better with the recievers. Now that this is out of the way..lets try to get a reciever.... I still am going to put BOWE from the Chiefs out there...lol Word is he is not happy in KC."
BGB Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:27am ET"My only hope is that this decision was made because he truly was the better QB, not just because we paid a ton of cash for him. GO Sanchez, play smart and all of Jets nation will be behind you. "
Charlie Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:43am ET"I am not sure what game the coaching staff was wathcing but as a Jets fan Sanchez looked frazzled the whole time. Uncomfortable position and looked terrible with a pass rush. Clemens looked more composed and the better of the two. Sanchez needs a lot more time under his belt to make any Jet fan comfortable. Any team out there that saw his lack of composure will blitz him like white on rice."
HDR Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 10:44am ET"Well, I was pulling for Kellen, but I guess Money does rule. I thought we had a better chance with Kellen this year, but I do understand that Ryan wants to go in with his QB, something the previous two coaches didn't do. Hopefully we have a Joe Flaco, or Matt Ryan. but we'll probably have to wait to get to the dance. I'm glad ryan didn't make us wait either. He can now move on and get ready."
Ira Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:04am ET"Sanchez gets a good team to open with. It will be a tough place to win,season opener and playoff expectations. But Houston's secondary is their weakness. This will be a very good game for Sanchez to kick start his career."
Dirty Sanchez Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:15am ET"Heck yea! Clemens had three years to evolve from being mediocre and it never happened. Nice to see we got a new face. "
JoE C Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:19am ET"I think Sanchez have the tools to be a good Qb but he still have to learn some more at the position!! well i guess we could just hope for a good outcome. Lets go Jets>>>>"
Troy Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:23am ET"I really hope this D gets it together by week 1 ,Houston can score ,and unfortunetly this is probably our most winnable game of the first 4 ,I really thought Rex should have gone with K.C to start the season ,though not great he played alright in 07 beating Pitt had team in position against Wash (D let up with 17-0 lead) Marks just not ready,but this team is ready to win Just not seeing right now "
chrisfaceoff Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:31am ET"I'm glad this was made and now too. There is no doubt in my mind sanchez will deliver, quickly but until then im a firm believer in birth by fire. throw him in and let him loose, you can only learn so much on the bench, all pieces will unfold in playing hands on. Go Jets!!!!!!"
Jay Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:39am ET"I'm all for this decision. I do hope Sanchez picks up the pace and understands that he's now in the NFL and if you're going to struggle in the pre-season, the regular season is going to be very long and tedious. I do feel bad for Clemens as he has spent a lot of time with this team and has not had a chance to start (with this newly added offensive line). Good luck Sanchez!"
cowbzfan1 Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:43am ET"With a little more protection coming from the o-line and more running plays, Sanchez and the Jets should have a good season this year."
Ed in Tucson Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:44am ET"I think that the best thing that the Jets can do for Kellen Clemens is to trade him to a team that needs a solid QB. If a WR is available, cool. If not, take the draft picks (3&4?). The rook didn't out play him by much but he's the future. Ainge looks more like a solid #2 than a "super 3rd QB," or however Rex put it. Go Jets!"
stuart johnson Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:45am ET"I feel bad for Clemens,he seems as if he would be a good qb. but year after year he comes up just alittle short! but, i guess thats football! GO JETS!!!!"
NJPhones Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:50am ET"Randy-can't you snoop around a bit and find out some more? We should be hearing the official (or un-official) news from you, not ESPN or FOX!"
Tom Spicer Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:50am ET"This is great news lets not waste the year let him take his lumps this year & hit the ground running next year. If we did not play him this year he would not be ready to go until 2011. "
Randy Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:51am ET"I told you last week RYAN was in for the tickets.This is because NY jets fans are so dumb. If you would have stood up a said give Kellen a chance. Dont act like he ever had one. He would have settled in and kicked some butt.Now would you please at least get him traded.As for your new coach GOOD LUCK. By the way I dont like chicago but they will go to the all the way this year. JETS WONT"
AOKP Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:52am ET"hey randy who is the jets QB coach? i think how the brought chuck smith in to show the defensive players a few tips and tricks, they should bring a hall of famer QB in to give some knowledge to Sanchez"
Hogan Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:53am ET"Well I think its the wrong way to go, but I hope I am wrong. Hope he does not get to beat up and become scared and or lose his confidence. KC never looked the same after that injury. If we had the talent around him when he stepped in we would not be here. Lets hope the rest of the team can keep this kid safe and winning. BIG RISK, thats rex though."
Travis Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:54am ET"Now let's watch him prove they made the right choice!!!! Go JETS"
Jake Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:57am ET"Good for the rook - I just hope they make Clemens a role that makes him feel like an important part of the team - I think he is a solid quarterback and can be a great influence on the team, even if he is the backup."
Moshe Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 11:58am ET"I'm not sure I like that decision. The first four games on the Jets' schedule are going to be very difficult. If MS doesn't play well during those games, his confidence will be shot and he'll be criticized by the fans and media. Start KC for those games, and if he doesn't blow you away, then put Mark in."
Bob Kole Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:00pm ET"If true good call. Kellen has nothing to teach Mark that Mark can't learn from being in the hot seat in the pocket."
russ Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:03pm ET"No surprise here..Facts are that passing is more critical during first 8 games than last 8 games based on weather in Northeast..that being said if we can go 3 and 3 while training continues with astrong run game after Nov we should be right in the chase! With that optimism stated...we are still in first place!!"
Greg Giraldo Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:08pm ET"ABOUT TIME START OF THE SANCHEZ ERA!!!!!!"
Charlie D Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:10pm ET"I am very excited about this decision. Mark has shown that he has the "whole package" and will be very successfull as our new QB. He will take some time to grow and we need to give him our support! I think experience is the best teacher and we need to get this guy on the field this season. Go Jets! Thanks Randy, Charles "
J-E-T-S in burbank Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:24pm ET"Who didn't see this coming? Good move to name a starting QB, time to get the chemistry brewing. MS showed good poise after the rough rookie start. Get it out of your system, I always say!"
MrJetGreen Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:27pm ET"OK, good move by Rex and Shott to firm up the QB spot now to get the 1's practicing full time as a unit. I thought Sanchez went into the Raven game with huge butterfly's (to be expected) but he showed the poise and where with all to make plays after the sloppy start. I expected Clemens to be more refined but he made some mistakes that hurt him in the competition. "
commentman Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:31pm ET"i think its alittle too early to name a starter but i believe Rex will make the right decision"
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:33pm ET"All hell breaks loose! My two cents: Neither of these guys looks great so far. But it's worse for KC because if he was that good, it would've been no contest. Since he didn't blow MS away, Rex has no reason to keep the ball away from the high-priced rookie. Ironically EA looks intriguing but as Ray says, too late for that now. I'd put him in at mid-season before KC, though, if MS can't step it up."
Ira Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:37pm ET"Everybody is entitled to their own opinions and i respect that. But this choice was not based just on the ravens game. Sanchez had the upper hand since camp started. Not by much but he did have the better camp. I feel he took the job for good after the Green and White Scrimmage. Will there be growing pains? Of course lets hope not many. He is the future and was the right choice. GO JETS!!!!"
Mike Semple Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:42pm ET"What did Rex see in Sanchez that was better than Kellen Clemens? I thought Sanchez looked like a deer seeing headlights! Should have been a second touchdown int. with Ray Lewis. One decent pass to Leon Washington, but otherwise a rookie, plain and simple. I thought we may have a chance at a 500 record this year; but with Sanchez, we will probably be between 4-12 and 6-10. Bad choice! "
cd Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:45pm ET"I guess Ryan and the Jets couldnt resist the 50 million reasons to go with Sanchez. This will be the downfall of Ryan has a head coach, he understands defense but has no clue about offense. He has put the trust in OC Shotteinhemer and just think how bad our offense has been with him as the OC over the past 3 years. Looks like a 6-10 season at best."
the jetfighter666 Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:50pm ET"Sanchez never makes the same mistake twice .He is our hope for the future. Let's get our future started now! "
BLD Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 12:56pm ET"I don't think the Baltimore game was a good indication of why Sanchez was named the starter. To be quite honest, I've seen some of the best QB's in the NFL look stupid against the Ravens D. Mark has great intangibles that I'm sure we will see through the season. But damn, let the kid grow. Good luck Sanchez!"
armando Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:12pm ET"It is absolutely the right decision and smart for Ryan to get on with it and get things moving forward. Clemens had to play outside himself to get the job and he didn't. Frazzled or not, Sanchez showed very good instincts at times against a Ravens team fired up to play their old coach. He's a leader. And Ryan is smart enough to know that a good defense and a strong running game is the key."
PurpleFlash Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:13pm ET"I think this was the right move. I think that an NFL team has to have a good QB starting AND a good Backup. I think Kellen will fill the back up role. (Not too many years ago, I think the Jets went through 4 or 5 QB's due to injuries). Personally I'd like to see going back to the old Idea of getting your backup playing time (during garbage time etc)> so they are ready when needed. "
momo Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:15pm ET"Sanchez demonstrated talent on Monday. I think he is the type of player that will get better with every snap. I think hes the next Flacco=)"
Scott Hall Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:15pm ET"Rex had no real obligation to Kellen and Kellen didn't have a great training camp. He threw 12ints. Mark is the future. Let's know hope he's not a Blair Thomas------"
Shep Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:20pm ET"After reading the comments, I would have to agree that KC will want out now. Now need to hang around for a fifth year as a back up when someone out there might give him a shot. Trade him now, make EA our #2, and let's get ourselves a premier wide out. I like our current guys, but an established #1 wouldn't be a bad thing. You've got the job Mark, now show us we made the right choice."
Harv Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:21pm ET"Still think where better off with clemens but whatever is best for the team."
Frankie Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:29pm ET"Well, I think we all expected this. Glad it was done now and not weeks from now. All i hear about is how bad he looked in a preseason game. This was the right decision and he can only get better from monday night. Anxious to see what this kid can do in the real season. GO JETSSSSSSS!!!!! LETS GO MARK!!! "
Rick Roberts Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:31pm ET"I thoiugh Sanchez look nervous aat the outset of the game, but began to settle in by about his fifth posession. That's what preseason is about. Let's not forget that opening 48 yarder last week. THAT was hot! His aquisition was perhaps the bright spot in this year's draft. Give the kid a chance - I don't think we'll be dissapointed."
Alex Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:34pm ET"I don't understand why nobody's giving him a chance after the ravens game. Ravens make everybody look "frazzled" and "uncomfortable." They have a pressure defense, and it's called a pressure defense for a reason. Sanchez will be fine. He'll have his O-line back to good health, the defense will have their starters back. Everything will be fine. No need to worry!"
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:36pm ET"Fascinating to see hardcore, knowledgeable Jet fans like Row and Ira disagree totally on this decision. I'm with 80 Fan, though, on moving up EA, grooming CP, and unloading KC soon. KC never fully got his chance here but I'm a lot less worried about what he'll do on another team than I am about what EA might do. And as HDR hints, I'd rather find out sooner about MS than waste more time on KC."
CTJETSFAN Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:36pm ET"I felt that Kellen had a better game. I think that there are other factors influencing this decision. With both being pretty equal Sanchez is better for marketing. I would like to keep Clemens on the team should Sanchez turns out to be a flop. Thank God we have a good offensive line to give Sanchez more time when they get healthy. With all said Clemens was my choice but Jets need to sell seat"
kevkage Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:38pm ET"Sanchez owes Leon Washington a steak for not making him look awful...I will never, ever understand the Jets QB decisions"
uncle joe Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:40pm ET"Now there's 2 more things todo,both 2 fold.1,give Gholston his garenteed money & send him to Philly to settle the Shepard trade & give Wesserman,Murrell & Cummings as many reps as possible.2,give Leon,VG's contract & ride him to the Superbowl!Rex is not responsible for the VG blunder so the organization can take it on the chin & move on.Clinskdale gets a pass because he got us LW"
GMF Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:43pm ET"With our defense holding down the fort Sanchez and running back by committee will be a manageable feet. I think this season will progress slowly for our passing game but with a nasty defense to practice against and weaker defenses to play against we should be great full for having a young competitor whom is not afraid to show adversity and gumption. KC is a good QB but needs to approve accuracy."
Carlos Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 1:57pm ET"While sanchez did appear rocky, Kellen was against the second defense and faired no better. He has been in the system with the same coordinator for three years "Times Up""
AZ Jets Fan Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:01pm ET"I think KC looked better on MNF, maybe not by a lot, but take away a few dropped passes and his stats would would have been a bit more glaring. I want to win now and I think KC gives us the better chance to win now. I just hope Sanchez can surprise me and be the Matt Ryan or Flacco of last year. "
azduck Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:04pm ET"Starting Sanchez is going to ruin his long term developement. He will become another gun shy wanna be, hasn't been, washed-out millionaire ex-athlete. The Jets are hoping for a dream season, what they are going to get is a nightmare. Sanchez will be on the bench or injure-reserve by game 4."
dougmc Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:07pm ET"Tough start for Sanchez but it was good to get kicked in the teeth early and by arguably the best defense.Clemmons needed to play much better to change mindset.J-E-T-S...jetsjetsjets...win the AFC east !!!"
bkjetfan Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:07pm ET"yes sanchez has alot to learn, but the only way to learn it is to get thrown into the wolves and let him learn it the hard way. im glad he got beat up against the ravens but he showed alot of heart and responded after getting dinged in the head. wake up call. if sanchez flopped against the ravens, what did clemens do to take that starting position with his 4 yrs of experience with the jets?"
J-E-T-S_jets Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:16pm ET"This was the right move at the right time. Now things are clarified and they can get more focused on what they need to do to win this year. Sanchez will learn a lot from Monday night. Kellen did decent but he faced the mostly 2nd string defense in the 2nd half. Sanchez faced arguably the best defense in football full-strength and recovered well late. He's still learning but the talent's there."

Frank Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:19pm ET"I think this is a huge mistake. He is not even close to being ready he looked completely lost and frazzeled out there. There will be tremendous pressure on him this is a veteran team built to win now. Starting Clemens would give him more time to develop and would be an easy transition if the team starts off poorly with Clemens and replacing him after the first 4 games which are going to be brutal."
Drew Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:37pm ET"The King has returned!!!! How has the blog been?? We will be just as competetive if not more with Sanchez starting as we were with KC. I am a KC fan but he has had plenty of chances to take this job... under Mangini and this summer. The PSL's and contract have nothing to do with this decision. Sanchez basically played even with KC with 4 years less experience. The choice should have been easy."
Tom Spicer Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:38pm ET"Now we have to name Clowney the number 2 WR & keep Stuckey in the slot & we are ready to rock J-E-T-S jets jeTS JETS!"
jet80 Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:43pm ET"This had to be done and was the best move.Even if you had started KC and sat MS a yr to learn would you sign KC back in a yr when he hasnt done anything for you.your future would be ready and KC would need a knew deal or would want to go play for a team that would show him some love(better look to the UFL)."
Ira Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:43pm ET"Other QB's in their 1st year as a starting QB recorded these QB ratings. Elway 54.9, P.Manning 71.2, Brees 76.9, Montana 87.8. I feel Sanchez will do well when all is said and done at the end of the season. He will get better week by week. There will be bumps along the way but in the long wrong it will all pay off."

Ray Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 3:04pm ET"Rex did the right thing by naming his starter now. Agree with who he chose or not, the decision was his, it's his head on the table. They want to give the week one starter alot of work this week, they can't do that if they are still evaluating. Let's get it on!!!"
Govybear Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 3:05pm ET"If the quarterback battle played to a "tie" and Kellen has the edge on experience and knowing the "system", doesn't that give him the advantage to be the starter? He should have had 2 TD's on MNF and nobody mentions Sanchez' fumble. Its all about the $. Kellen will get his chance when someone hands Sanchez his head in the backfield. "
Skeptic Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 3:06pm ET"I think this: Clemens should have been given the start on a short leash. Develope Sanchez and put him in mid season if clemens blows it; however that was not the call by Rex, so now I can only hope Sanchez has what it takes. He has to perform well against the Giants...has to show poise. GO JETS! Lets get to the post season with this kid at the healm. GO GANG GREEN!"
Jets1/12/1969 Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 3:15pm ET"I guess alot of you are taking the easy route and complaining about this choice. That way if we have a bad year you can say you were right, but if great things happen, you still win. A true fan will just hope for the best either way. GO JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
cd Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 3:27pm ET"Rex Rex Rex, work with me here. Was it the 50 million reasons you had to make that decision, oh by the way you still dont have a WR. So lets think about this real quick we put 9 in the box stuff the run, QB has no one to throw it to, well thanks for jinxing us again REX the curse got you to. I am tired of being a miserable JETS fan."

Wed, August 26, 2009 - 4:52pm ET"cd no one is forcing you to be a jets fan. you have no faith in our team and obviously not the players that we have. so shut up and save it for someone who wants to hear u complain"
the real t.o. Said:
Wed, August 26, 2009 - 6:03pm ET"CONGRATS SANCHEZ ON WINNING THE JOB! I KNEW HE WOULD. HES GOT THE GOODS. AS FOR KELLEN, HES A CLASS ACT. GREAT GUY. SORRY HE LOST OUT BUT WE GOTTA DO WHATS BEST. IF MS GETS GOOD PASS PROTECTION AND ANOTHER SPEEDY WR, HE'LL DO GREAT. HE CAN PUT THE BALL ON A DIME. I WOULDNT MIND TRADING KC FOR A WR AS LONG AS WE DONT GET RID OF EA! !!HES GONNA BE AMAZING ONE DAY TOO! GO JETS! GOOD JOB REX!"

Wed, August 26, 2009 - 8:02pm ET"For those of you who don't understand this decision, it was Kellen'sjob to loose and he lost it. He looked very average for a guy who was gonna win the job cause of experience in Schotty's O and the few NFL games he played in. If Jeff Garcia was picked up or someone like that than it would be different but Kellen is not what I called a experienced QB. It's Sanchez's team lets move into a new era."
Ed in Tucson Said:
Thu, August 27, 2009 - 12:38pm ET"Denver has pro bowl WR who wants to be traded & they seem to be in need of a QB, hmmmm Let's make a deal?"
jets fan 45 yrs Said:
Fri, August 28, 2009 - 4:00am ET"Ok so Kc isnt starting and rex brings in the million doolar kid..... Over rated over payed and is scared out of his mind. Talks big talk but hey KC kept his comments down hes been there MS is dead meat. KC just needs a good O line and we can win. He has a head on his shoulders listen to him speak he is one player who isnt full of himself but willing to help others. "
