Mark Sanchez and Eli Manning
Mark Sanchez knows he needs to start winning, and he needs to start now,
"That fourth year, I think he threw one pick in the playoffs when they won that Super Bowl. One," Sanchez said Monday, referring to the Giants quarterback's postseason success in the 2007 season. "And I think he might have thrown 20 in the regular season."
The man is rattling off Eli's stats like he has them memorized. He also knows that he can turn it around just like Eli has done, winning the Super Bowl twice, being MVP both times.
Both had surprisingly similar numbers during their first three years:
Manning amassed 8,049 passing yards, 54 touchdowns and 44 interceptions
in 41 games (39 starts) for a passer rating of 73.2. Sanchez had 9,209
passing yards, 55 TDs and 51 interceptions for a rating of . . . 73.2.
What happened after Eli's 3rd year? One of the biggest upsets in NFL history, that's what. Now does Marky Mark have the defense that Eli had? Maybe. The weapons on offense? No.
Eli's 3rd regular season TD/INT: 24/18 ... Mark's 3rd regular season TD/INT: 26/18
Hate to say it, but Jets fans, and coaches, gotta have a little more faith.
