Where are you, Sanchez?

Mark Sanchez, the Jet's QB, is the biggest reason for the Jet's failures the past season. His inconsistent play took the Jets out of many games, and left the fans scratching their heads. Can this guy win us a Super Bowl? Is he the QB of the future? Throughout all the interceptions and mis-throws, I defended him. I claimed he was still too young to give up on and I blamed it more on the offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer. 

Jets QB Mark Sanchez

However, when his own teammates started to publicly doubt him, I knew there were deeper problems. The quarterback is supposed to control the locker room and be the leader. No one should be calling him out, everyone should be behind him. 

 
Now, with all the fans calling for the Jets to get Peyton Manning to be the team's QB and even having the owner of the Jets not rule out the idea of getting Peyton, it is time for Sanchez to step up. As a diehard fan, it would be nice if Sanchez would come out and say to the media, "I am the quarterback of this team, and no one is going to take the job from me." That is the confidence that I want to see out of the quarterback of my favorite football team. Instead, he has remained quiet, not talked to the media, and for the first time in 2 seasons he did not go to the Super Bowl to talk to the media. Is he lacking confidence? Or is he just trying to stay out of the spotlight? Since Mark Sanchez joined the Jets in 2009, I have never questioned his confidence, until right now. He must do something, and do something soon, to show me and the rest of Jet Nation that he has what it takes to be the face of this franchise.
