But even if he never returns to the field, he'll still finish his career as a top professional quarterback from USC.

As a sport as indefatigably and stereotypically meatheaded as football, I can't help but admire Mark Sanchez's dedication to not care what anyone thinks about his preferences. The problem with this quote in the above paragraph is that Sanchez's arms -or the way he uses it, at leasthasn't been as efficient than the average Broadway player. While he was a player for the Jets the team, he was generally not a great quarterback, however, that didn't stop them from Jets from signing him to a multimillion-dollar extension. Also, lest we forget, the butt fumble.

The butt fumble occurred on the national network's primetime Thanksgiving game against the rival of the division, one from three Jets errors that led to three Patriots touchdowns within the space of 52 minutes. It became a rare sporting phenomenon that was viewed as viral in the realm of sports enthusiasts; EVERYONE saw it.

This was basically the end for Sanchez as an Jet. Rex Ryan spent the rest of the year alternating among Sanchez in the absence of Greg McElroy as the starter,  Madden 24 coins and neither made an argument to stay in the position. They both made arguments to be a backup, at least not really.

The following year, 2013 was Sanchez's final year on the field in New York. He was injured in his shoulder playing behind a improvised offensive line during the fourth quarter of a preseason gamethat's when the tabloids and sports radio were awed by the story. Ryan named the rookie Geno Smith to be the starting quarterback while Sanchez recuperated. On October 1. Sanchez was treated for a season-ending injury, a precursor to his eventual release in the spring of next year. It was a merciful ending to an ignominious two seasons.

And yet.

It's the playoffs that he has won: Two AFC Championship Game appearances in his first two seasons in the league, with four road playoff wins on the way. They are not a good metric for evaluating quarterbacks, however Mark Sanchez notched as many playoff wins in his first two seasons like Russell Wilson. A different metric that is flawed But still. This isn't nothing.

Anyone who criticizes Sanchez's career is also undermined by his rebirth in Philadelphia. In four appearances for Eagles after Nick Foles broke his collarbone, Sanchez has completed 62.3 percent of his passes which includes six interceptions and seven touchdowns. Sanchez has thrown over 300 yards in all three of his games. Against the Panthers the other night, he completed over 265 yards without an incident for the first time ever in his professional career. In other words, he's done ... kinda good. This is an endorsement of coach: another feather to Chip Kelly's cap, and reason enough to Brian Schottenheimer to never hold another job as a coach in professional football.

It's not common to have an experienced quarterback with five years of experience who's an unknown quantity, yet such is the severity of Jets' mismanagement. Mark Sanchez may yet prove to be more than adequate possibly even very good. For now, he is an enduring character, and that is enough.

The narrative threads connecting Carson  mut 24 madden coins Palmer, Matt Leinart, and Mark Sanchez are privilege and talent.
