MNF Open Thread

PrintThe other open thread is getting a bit too hefty so let's start a quick new one for the MNF games. The Vikes travel to the New Giants Stadium to take on the Jets in a fight of two teams that couldn't get more hype in the pre-season. The Jets are somewhat living up to it. The Vikings aren't, but have added Randy Moss to fix all their problems even though a lack of deep threats is pretty much exactly not what was ailing their offense.
I'm rooting for neither, but let's hope it's a good game.

Well that's not fully true
Daily Norseman is the only SB Nation blog I’ve seen that’s actually worse than Niners Nation. Their articles are petulant and combative, their thoughtful insights non-existent. They’ve pretty much turned me against the Vikes, single-blogedly.
Farve gave a tear-filled apology to the Vikings, before the game, saying:
“I need you guys to carry me tonight,” Favre told the Vikings, as related by Longwell to Tafoya. “I’m ready to go out there and give it my best, but I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Seriously, though
How many people attend the Superbowl because they’re interested in football? Isn’t it just an excuse for corporate partners to hand out tickets to people more interested in the half-time show?

Corporate guys would be the ones annoyed by the freezing weather
But I don’t get why normal fans seem to be complaining on behalf of those guys.
Well, normal fans and Peter King.
I have to rant even though it has little to do with FG comments
This is directed towards any Seahawks fan who believes in retrospect we should’ve drafted Sanchez – You’re a blithering idiot.
I am sick and tired of hearing this argument. The New York Jets were a game away from the playoffs the year they drafted Sanchez, already had an elite defense, and one of the best offensive lines in football. In other words, the Jets were ready to contend and the Sanchez pick was in no means meant as a “rebuild” pick.
There is no way Mark Sanchez would’ve succeeded as a Seahawk. For starters, the defense is/was below average and in 2009 the slow, plodding, piss-poor starts would’ve forced him to play from behind every week. With a minimally functioning running game and a shoddy offensive line Sanchez would’ve repeatedly hit the turf and would’ve been 1000 times as destructive as he was in 2009.
This still applies to 2010, as the Jets have a much better and more aggressive defense, a revived LT, and a superb offensive line. The people around Sanchez are already very good, hence why he would be ground to dust as a Seahawk.
I’ve had enough. Stop freaking saying “we should’ve drafted Sanchez” because while I admit he’s been very good this year, he has far better talent around him than he would’ve had on a rebuilding Seahawks team.

A.) Normally I’m restrained but I kept reading these arguments on other blogs (and I swear I saw one on FG) and then I saw one signature that went “should’ve drafted Sanchez” and had enough.
B.) It didn’t relate to Field Gulls, I figured this was the most intelligent place to rant.

While he's been good this year, I'm still unconvinced it's a structural improvement
He was terrible the first game. Something about the gameplan changed tremendously in the next games to fix that. He hasn’t been making tough throws, but he’s been getting the ball to wide open receivers.Greg Cosell said he’s being used as a plant-and-throw QB who doesn’t go through reads, at all. Just going “first read, get it out of there”. That’s not where you want to be with a QB, but Schottenheimer’s doing a great job of making it work – for now.
He was terrible the first game
It was also against one of the best defenses in football.
I think he’ll be in the “good but never outstanding” range.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
His ceiling could be Eli Manning.
Another QB I can’t stand who I don’t think will ever be “good.”
I don't think it's that black and white.
Saying that “There is no way Sanchez would’ve succeeded as a Seahawk” is just as absurd as people claiming that we passed on a stud franchise QB.
I just don't see it
The instant “success” he got in New York wouldn’t have happened in Seattle and with our rebuilding process it probably would not have happened.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Success was hardly instant, either
I remember a lot of shouting for his head during most of last season
It's only in the last few weeks that the training wheels have come off for Sanchez
And while I agree he would not have had the luxury of playing game manager in Seattle, who is to say that he couldn’t have posted big numbers on a losing team like Sam Bradford is on pace to do in St Louis?
Of course, If you’re talking about instant success in terms of wins and losses, then I absolutely agree that Sanchez would not have succeeded in Seattle.

Strawman
I told my wife yesterday, while watching MNF, that the Seahawks should have drafted Sanchez. it is not because I believe that he would have been particularly good in 2009 or 2010, or that he would make the Hawks better in those years or taken us to the playoffs ala Jets. it’s because:
*We need to draft a QB, just as we did in 2009.
*He had, and still has, great upside
*Aaron Curry, who we drafted instead, was not at a position of need, is not a pass-rusher, and hasn’t been particularly good.
- He’d almost certainly be a better backup than Charlie Whitehurst and we’d still have the draft pick we gave up for Clipboard Jesus. He’d also have better odds of developing into our starting QB than CW.
Any football fan with an sense knows that you couldn’t expect NYJ level success from Sanchez with the Seahawks supporting cast. But that doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t have been a better pick than Aaron Curry. I think it’s a perfectly reasonable position to say that we should have drafted Sanchez. I might even go so far to say that only a blitering idiot, given a chance to do it again, would take Aaron Curry and Charlie Whitehurst over Mark Sanchez and a 3rd round pick in 2011.

So the Vikings begged Favre to come back.
He did and has been the second-worst QB in football by DYAR and fourth-worst by DVOA a fourth of the way through the season.
Vikes fans blame lack of time with his WRs/lack of WR quality
And if so, Randy Moss would help.
I dunno, though, their O-line looked terrible in the pre-season, and indeed Favre had little time to work with his receivers. He seemed set up to fail.
Favre has always been a special case but on the other hand, something like 4 out of his last 6 years have been pretty terrible. It’s easy to forget but he is old, and not proven to be reliable in his old age.

Shonn Greene losing the starting job is the most surprising to me.
Thought he was going to have a breakout season.
Yes
My buddy is a huge Chargers fan, and while he still looked fast enough at times thought he would be done.
I on the other hand, thought that the Chargers were one of the worst run-blocking teams in football, while the Jets are one of the best.
On top of that…who was stupid enough to think that Greene had proved himself capable of carrying the ball 70% of the time for a team that ran 36 times a game last year, almost entirely spread between the top two backs?
More on Greene vs Tomlinson, Greene is not the better pass-catcher or blocker, so Tomlinson would be the safety valve as well.
Don't know if it shows, but him and I had a long argument about this.
In our fantasy league, he said I had no HBs worth starting, and I found a lot to back me up.
I actually feel a tiny bit sorry for Pace on that play.
Not really his fault he got the facemask, just got juked and was trying to get a hand on Favre.

inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Rob Staton does a nice breakdown at Seahawks Draft Blog:
Essentially, all three can now prepare for the combine. That could be a make or break situation for all. If they take for granted this time off and show up at Indianapolis in anything but peak condition – teams will just plant a red flag in their direction. If they can work hard and stay in game shape, that’ll be considered a plus. Dez Bryant (WR, Dallas) missed the vast majority of 2009 but remained a first round pick. He didn’t, however, go as early as some people thought he could do. For a guy like Quinn, not performing may not be such a terrible thing. People remember his 2009 performances which were raw but generally good.
