Jets linebacker and former Raven Bart Scott compared Mark Sanchez to Kyle Boller in quotes from an article in the New York Daily News. “Come on, man. I played with Kyle Boller for six years,” he said.
Scott was reacting to the recent offensive issues the Jets have faced in their last two games that caused head coach Rex Ryan to tell the media that he nearly benched Sanchez against the Dolphins.
“You think I haven’t seen anything like this before? I’ve been on teams that struggled offensively. It’s not my job to farm their land. It’s my job (for opponents) to not put points on the board.”
Scott also insisted he supports Ryan despite the coach’s critical comments about the defense.
“Things don’t always go the way you want to, but you don’t stop believing,” Scott said. “I bought in. I bought that ocean-front property. I bought into Rex, and I’m in it for the long haul.”
Things aren’t so fine and dandy in New York. No Cliff Lee and the Jets true colors are emerging. I can’t say that I feel bad, do you?
Not exactly a fellow sympathetic figure in the sports world here (a Bostonian), but believe me, this song and dance happens every year.
Everything the Jets touch turns to gold and “this is the year”. Then it turns out, it’s not. The team is absolutely overrun with gigantic egos, they resort to underhanded tactics (everyone does a little bit, but the Jets have shown to be an extreme case), and their golden boy QB is being outted right before our eyes with a very simple truth: he does not have the physical qualities to be competitive in cold weather
I have a feeling he’s going to struggle again vs. the Bears, and the suddenly 9-5 Jets will be feeling a lot of heat.
