New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan better hope that rookie quarterback Geno Smith is able to provide team management enough hope that they hang onto the coach for another year, because the coach's dumb preseason decision to bring starter Mark Sanchez in the 3rd quarter of a game with an inexperienced offensive line protecting him looks a great deal dumber now with the latest bit of news. While Sanchez was initially listed as day-to-day, it's now being reported that the quarterback may need shoulder surgery which would force him to miss all of the 2013 regular season.
Sanchez initially said he wasn't going to second-guess his coach's decision. While understandable since he was listed as day-to-day at the time and hoped to start for the Jets early in the season, I wonder what he'd say if he were asked that question today. If he simply repeated what he said the first time, all I'll say is Sanchez better hope he doesn't have to say that while taking a lie detector test.
As for Rex Ryan, the the guy better hope that at least six more teams hand him games like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did in their first. If he wins at least 7 games with a rookie at quarterback, that may be enough to save him one more year. If his team finishes 6-10 or worse, then good luck. Next on the team's slate is the New England Patriots tonight. While the Pats are more banged up than a nude hockey player playing in the Stanley Cup Finals, Tom Brady and company are typically less giving than Greg Schiano's Buccaneers.
