Not So Fast, Mr Sanchez

, The offense\'s contribution will still have to come mostly from their rushing attack. The combination of Shonn Greene, a rejuvenated LaDainian Tomlinson, and one of the best offensive lines in football should help the Jets control the ball and add to the effectiveness of their defense.

This isn\'t to say the Jets won\'t need to throw the ball. This is the NFL for crying out loud. You have to throw the ball with success at some point if you want to win the Super Bowl (And the Jets have every expectation of celebrating in Dallas come next February). This doesn\'t mean that they should hand the reigns over to Sanchez so easily and start slinging the ball all over the field, though.

Yes, the Jets did add some new weapons to their passing attack - Most notably Santonio Holmes, who despite being a Super Bowl MVP has really flown under the radar as one of the best receivers in the game. But New York must be wary of not allowing Sanchez to negate the work of the defense with bad turnovers caused by forcing the ball and looking for the big play too often (Something he has been prone to do at his early age). By and large, the Jets won\'t have to rely on big plays on offense to win.

Again, you need to throw the ball in the NFL. But Sanchez is NOT ready to be given the responsibility of throwing more than 30 times a game if the Jets have any shot of making it to Dallas at the end of the year. No doubt, Sanchez will be much improved from a season ago. No doubt he will make a few more plays. And no doubt he has more weapons to take advantage of. Yet the Jets must keep in mind that Sanchez IS NOT Peyton Manning. He isn\'t Tom Brady. He isn\'t jets sanchez jersey Drew Brees, jets sanchez jersey Brett Favre, Philip Rivers, or Aaron Rodgers. At this point, he isn\'t even Kyle Orton. He\'s a second year quarterback with above average talent and little experience.

Sanchez\' main responsibilities this year will be protecting the ball and moving the chains (The Jets don\'t need to score 30 points a game to win). He will still need to be put in advantageous positions to throw the ball in terms of down and distance in order to have success. He is not ready to be leaned on. And if the jets sanchez jersey Jets find themselves in too many obvious passing situations or behind late in a lot of games this season, Sanchez\' vulnerabilities will be exposed, and a Super Bowl title will be out of the question.
