Jets players done with Sanchez?
In the first two years of the Mark Sanchez/Rex Ryan regime in New York, the Jets made it all the way to the AFC Championship game. No matter how it happened nor how ugly it may have been, they got within a sniff of the Super Bowl in their first two tries. Tough to argue with that.
Unless it’s a year later and you missed the playoffs this season. That has seemed to change a lot of people’s tunes, especially when it comes to the ability of Sanchez and how the organization handles him.
“They don’t want to be truthful with him,” one prominent player told Manish Mehta of the NY Daily News. “They treat him like a baby instead of a man. He goes in a hole when someone tells him the truth.”
A team source also told the News that mounting criticism during the season caused Sanchez to un-follow every member of the New York media. You f’ing serious?
“So that should tell you everything,” the source said. “He just doesn’t have the mental toughness to be great… especially in New York.”
Others told the News that players in the locker room are getting pretty frustrated with the way the team treats him.
“They see the organization babying him,” said a Jets source. “They see him with a sense of entitlement. He’s been given all this and hasn’t done anything. They call him ‘San-chise.’ They make him the face of the organization. They gave him the captain tag. He’s not a captain. He should have never been a captain.”
The News says that none of the Jets players that they spoke to about this story agreed with Ryan’s decision to make Sanchez a captain. Wow.
Members of the team also said that they would love to bring in Peyton Manning next year, but someone inside the building says that that’s not going to happen.
“I don’t think that he’ll come here,” a member of the Jets organization said. “We have to change the perception of our organization. We’re not the organization that players said they wanted to play for a year or two ago. We’re starting to come across a little flaky. We talk the talk. We don’t back it up. We’re out of control. There’s no discipline. It’s a mess right now.”
Regardless, it sounds like the Jets need to fix a ton of stuff inside the facility there. Something’s broken big time.


This is not the first time I have heard that the team (i.e. coaches or owners, not players) have elected a Captain. Thought S. Holmes was also a captain? Since when did players get removed from deciding their captains?
