Even after Sunday’s 16-13 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills, the New York Jets Coach Rex Ryan still sticks with rookie Mark Sanchez as his starting quarterback, just as he has done since Sanchez beat out Kellen Clemens for the starting job in the preseason.
“I just think we’ve got to do a great job at looking at what we’re asking this young man to do,” Ryan said. “Do we need to cut things back? Are there things that we could do to put on somebody else’s plate to take some things off his plate? I have a lot of confidence in Mark.”
Sanchez is tied with Carolina’s Jake Delhomme for the league lead in interceptions with 10, and his 56.7 quarterback rating is higher than only Oakland’s JaMarcus Russell and Derek Anderson in Cleveland Browns jersey. But his performance was miserable on Sunday. He was only 10 of 29 for 119 yards and failed to lead his team to a win even though running back Thomas Jones had a franchise-record 210 yards rushing. However, Ryan is just as confident that the quarterback will bounce back from frustration.
