News: Mark Sanchez was officially selected as the team's starting quarterback by coach Rex Ryan on Wednesday, making him the first rookie to open a season under center for the Jets.

Beats Out Clemens
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)-Rookie Mark Sanchez was named the New York Jets' starting quarterback Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the decision.Sanchez, the fifth overall draft pick out of Southern California, beat out veteran Kellen Clemens with a solid training camp and will be under center for the Jets' season opener at Houston on Sept. 13. The person requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the decision. (AP)
FF Today's Take: The Jets wanted this day to come since they traded up in the draft to select Sanchez. He does not have the best supporting cast of receivers and HC Rex Ryan will likely bring him along slowly. Sanchez does not have as much experience as most rookie quarterbacks so it is unlikely he will be able to consistenly produce steady numbers making him a backup fantasy quarterback entering 2009.

Sanchez named Jets' starter

(QB - nyj) | 0 comments.
According to the Twitter page of ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Jets have named Mark Sanchez as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. The team was informed of the decision when they arrived at the facility on Wednesday morning.
Our View: We can't say we are surprised, as Sanchez has been thought to be the favorite since camp opened. Kellen Clemens would have had to significantly outplay the rookie to get the nod, and he just didn't do that. Sanchez has been decent in the preseason, but the Jets figure to be a run-first offense this season. Sanchez should only be targeted as a backup fantasy quarterback in drafts, but that could change if he shows he can handle NFL defenses early in the season.

Clemens still fighting for QB job
Source (CBSSports.com)
(QB - nyj) | 0 comments.
News: Mark Sanchez scrambled behind the line of scrimmage, his eyes locked in on the end zone. The New York Jets rookie quarterback reared back, zipped a pass into Brad Smith's hands for a touchdown and celebrated as if he'd just won a game. Sanchez did it again on his next pass a few minutes later, capping another solid training camp practice Thursday. "The last play of the game, you've got to have it, win or lose," coach Rex Ryan said. "He had to scramble on both of them. Found an open guy, showed good vision downfield and then threaded the needle." Sanchez, competing with Kellen Clemens for the starting job, was having a good practice until kicking it up a notch with his last two tosses. He finished 7 for 14 in 11-on-11 drills, while Clemens was 4 for 7 with two interceptions on the day before the team wraps up camp at SUNY Cortland. "In all fairness to Kellen, he's been around here a long time and if I'm going to play, I need to earn it," Sanchez said. "That's the right thing to do. I thought that was the right thing for the organization to do. That's what I've done, just competing like crazy to give Coach a reason to put me on the field, and when I get my opportunities, try and make the most of it." [...]

The Associated Press is reporting that the Jets will start rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez in their next preseason game against the Ravens on August 24. Sanchez outplayed veteran Kellen Clemens in the team's first preseason game.
Our View: This isn't a huge shocker since the team wants to see both quarterbacks with the frst team, but it is a bit telling that they announced it so soon after the previous game. Sanchez is impressing everyone, and it looks like he will be the starter come Week 1.

Our View: It's starting to look like Sanchez has the startin job in the bag, but the team hasn't announced anything yet. Sanchez was impressive in the first preeason game, moreso than Kellen Clemens, but he will have his share of struggles if he doesn start for the team this season.

Our View: It looks like Ainge is still in the race for the starting job at quarterback, even though Sanchez and Kellen Clemens are considered the top candidates. Ainge does not garner fantasy attention as of yet though.

(QB - nyj) | 0 comments.
According to John Clayton of ESPN.com, Mark Sanchez will be the Jets starting quarterback this season.
Our View: He has apparently already built a sizable gap between himself and competitor Kellen Clemens. The decision isn't final, but Sanchez would have to drop off dramatically and Clemens would have to do some amazing things to get the job at this point. So it looks as if Sanchez will be the Jets QB to target in fantasy drafts. He should still be a last ditch or backup option for fantasy squads though.

Jets | Sanchez now working with first-string offense
Dave Hutchinson, of The Star-Ledger, reports New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer told QB Mark Sanchez he will begin alternating reps with QB Kellen Clemens with the first-string offense. Sanchez worked with the starters first during practice Saturday, Aug. 8. Sanchez hit 10 of 19 passes, with two touchdowns and one interception. His tempo with the offense was crisp and he got the team in and out of the huddle quickly. Clemens will work with the starters first in the afternoon workout. During the morning, he hit four of 12 passes and was intercepted once. He almost was picked off two other times. Head coach Rex Ryan said he feels Sanchez has taken a step forward in the last few practices. "He's confident. He's moving around and he's not moving around like a deer in head lights. He's poised. He can make all of the throws. He's taking a step forward," Ryan said of the team's first-round pick.

Our View: The Jets are expected to name their starting quarterback following the third preseason game August 29. Sanchez has far more upside and potential than Clemens, but would not likely be consistent enough to trust as a starting fantasy quarterback in his first NFL campaign.
