Telling the fans "Don't worry folks. We don't really need an accurate quarterback."

Asked in an interview on the Jets’ website if there’s a certain completion percentage benchmark that he’ll need his quarterback to reach, Mornhinweg answered, “No, absolutely not.”

Mornhinweg went on to say that he has seen quarterbacks have great seasons without great completion percentages.

“Some of the great ones have really not thrown for such great accuracy,” Mornhinweg said. “Steve Young was astronomical accuracy-wise. Brett Favre wasn’t. Brett Favre, I believe won an MVP two different times out of the three times that he won it, throwing 58, 59, 60 percent, somewhere in there. So they all come in different shapes and sizes.”

Does Mornhinweg have a valid point or is this just desperate spin to cover for Sanchez' ineptitude?

It makes some sense. Alex Smith had a higher completion pct than Tom Brady. Flacco, Stafford, and Eli didn't have stellar completion rates and nobody would consider them innefective. Newton's perecentage is pretty bad but I'm sure the Jets would poo themselves to have him.

Something to consider...

If I recall correctly, the Jets are running a West Coast offense. The WCO actually inflates a quarterback's accuracy numbers because its bread and butter is short, high-percentage passes.

So if Sanchez were playing in a more conventional offense, it's no great stretch to think that his numbers might actually be lower than they are now.

(though to be fair, he does lead the league in buttfumbles)

He's right in the sense that it's silly to have some arbitrary number to shoot for. Completion % is a function of offensive style as much as QB ability. I think he is definitely wording his answer in deflective way- the QBs on their roster have little in common with Brett Favre or any other elite QB with low percentages.

They are moving to a WCO but neither Sparano or Schottenheimer were primarily WCO guys. Schottenheimer worked some of it in but Sparano not so much.

I know Mornhinweg is thoroughly West Coast, pure Andy Reid disciple.

If you go by lineage, Schottenheimer should be a Coryell guy, but I haven't watched the Jets enough to say for certain.

(have watched enough to know Sanchez is not so great, though)

Therefore we will not know until they make the switch whether or not it inflates Sanchez's completion percentage.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
