Thu, 24 May 2012 10:46:28 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez said he is a fan of new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, particularly his approach with players. "Coach Sparano is very matter of fact, to the point. There are no gray areas," Sanchez said.
Mon, 14 May 2012 05:33:52 -0700 New York Jets quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh said QB Mark Sanchez must make better decisions if he is to cut down on costly interceptions in 2012. "There were turnovers that were not his fault that were credited to him," Cavanaugh said of the quarterback. "But there were enough that, playing that position, he needs to cut some of those down. Most of them came from just poor decision-making."
Sat, 12 May 2012 10:29:40 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez said he would like to get a little bigger and stronger this offseason to help him stay relatively healthy during the season.
Sat, 12 May 2012 08:42:15 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez wants to get bigger and stronger in 2012, which will help him take the punishment at quarterback over a 16-game season. "Just starting with this first couple of weeks, one of these things is in the weight room, to really push myself and get a little stronger, a little thicker and maintain my agility, my speed and things like that. That was No. 1 physically," Sanchez said.
Fri, 11 May 2012 14:49:25 -0700 New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes said his disagreements with QB Mark Sanchez have been overblown by the media and the two have never had any serious disagreements. "From my perspective and Mark's perspective, everything was blown out of proportion," Holmes said. "We never had any real serious disagreements. All that stuff was just blown up from other people. We let it be. That's why we never talked about it… That's why we never cared to share anything about it, because we know nothing happened."
Thu, 26 Apr 2012 05:20:42 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez and WR Santonio Holmes were booed loudly during the New York Knicks game Wednesday, April 25, by the Madison Square Garden crowd.

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:37:42 -0700 New York Jets WR Jeremy Kerley said QB Tim Tebow has more velocity on his passes than QB Mark Sanchez does. "Different than Mark, different than Mark," Kerley said. "[Tebow's] ball comes out a little bit stronger, but he's accurate, he's more accurate than what I thought he was going to be."
Sat, 21 Apr 2012 05:45:48 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez said he has been bulking up this offseason to endure the rigors of a season. "That's been one of my goals this offseason - putting on a little more muscle mass. I've taken a beating during the season," Sanchez said.
Sat, 21 Apr 2012 05:28:24 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez said he is pleased with QB Tim Tebow's effort in the team's offseason conditioning sessions so far. "He's been as advertised, as good of a guy, if not better, than anybody said," Sanchez said of Tebow. "So, he's been a great addition so far. I'm thrilled to work with him."
Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:24:52 -0700 New York Jets OG Matt Slauson said the team will essentially have two different offenses this year with QBs Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow being mixed in. Sanchez will be the starter, but the team plans to use Tebow as an H-back, fullback and running back. Tebow will also be used as the "personal protector" on the punt team. "You guys will be really surprised by what Mark's going to do this year," Slauson said. "The way we're going to be running things plays right into Mark's strengths, running the ball. It'll be very similar to what we did in Rex's first two years, very much a style like that - heavy run, heavy play action and whipping out a deep ball every now and again. That's all the stuff Mark does really well."
Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:01:47 -0700 New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan confirmed that QB Mark Sanchez is the team's starting quarterback at the start of the team's offseason workouts Monday, April 16. "Of course, Mark's the starter," Ryan said. "There's no question about it. That's how we look at it, but we know that Tim can help us, too. There's no doubt. ... Mark is our starting quarterback. We've said that. We understand Tim is a backup quarterback, but we also recognize the fact that this guy's an excellent football player and we're going to use his abilities."
Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:05:17 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez and WR Santonio Holmes are working out together in Orlando. They are working with longtime trainer Tom Shaw, spending the week training and throwing together. TE Dustin Keller and WR Patrick Turner are also there, and RB Joe McKnight might join the group later in the week.
Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:50:32 -0700 Denver Broncos CB Champ Bailey, a former teammate of New York Jets QB Tim Tebow, said Tebow will be challenging QB Mark Sanchez for the team's starting quarterback job. "Oh, he's going to challenge him, absolutely," Bailey said. "Sanchez can't feel too comfortable in his seat. If he keeps playing well, he doesn't have to worry about it. But if he doesn't play well, we all know what's going to happen next."
Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:20:17 -0700 New York Jets TE Dustin Keller thinks QB Tim Tebow will push QB Mark Sanchez, and the competition will be friendly and productive. "He's not coming in just thinking, 'OK, I'm the backup quarterback,'" Keller said. "Every quarterback wants to go in - or every position - and wants to be a starter. He's definitely going to push Mark (Sanchez), so I think it's going to be friendly competition there." Keller is confident that Sanchez won't crack under the pressure of Tebow being in town.
Mon, 02 Apr 2012 08:11:56 -0700 New York Jets TE Dustin Keller said QB Mark Sanchez does not need anyone pushing him to become a better quarterback. "I don't necessarily think he needed a guy pushing him," Keller said. "I think he gets a lot of criticism he doesn't deserve."
Sat, 31 Mar 2012 09:23:29 -0700 New York Jets owner Woody Johnson said QB Mark Sanchez is the unquestioned starter for the team this season. "I'm going to be very clear: Mark Sanchez is our starting quarterback. Period. That's it," Johnson said. "He's our starting quarterback. He's going to be a good NFL player. Just like he's been. There's no reason to suspect that Mark will be any different this year than he's been the last 10 years he's played the game. He's been a very consistent performer his whole career."
Sat, 31 Mar 2012 08:53:14 -0700 New York Jets QB Tim Tebow said the goal for him is to improve as a quarterback and help the team win games. "My plan is to go in there and try to be the best quarterback that I can be," Tebow said, when asked if his goal was really to be the backup quarterback behind QB Mark Sanchez. "To try to win football games, however that is, and reach my potential, be the best quarterback, the best teammate, best football player that I can be and just add something to that locker room."
Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:47:52 -0700 Former NFL RB Marshall Faulk said New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez has only himself to blame for the arrival of QB Tim Tebow. "If I'm Mark Sanchez, and they bring in Tebow, it means I hit one of those spells that I always hit," Faulk said. "He's just - Mark hasn't been consistent throughout the flow of games. He went weeks at a time and not looked good." Faulk singled out last season's clash between the Jets and Denver Broncos in Week 11 as proof. "The pick-six that Mark Sanchez threw against Denver, that they ran back for a touchdown and, in turn, gave Tebow an opportunity to drive down the field with the game-winning touchdown - Mark Sanchez? Yeah, all this is on him."
Tue, 27 Mar 2012 09:56:46 -0700 The New York Jets did not consult with QB Mark Sanchez before agreeing to trade for QB Tim Tebow as the backup. "Mark's job is to play quarterback, not be the general manager," head coach Rex Ryan said.

"We've been friends, we text back and forth, we've talked already, and we're going to have a great relationship, a great working relationship and a lot of fun together."

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 08:43:55 -0700 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez described the anonymous criticism he has received from teammates as gutless. "It is a gutless thing to do," Sanchez said. "You don't put your name on what you're saying, then you don't speak for yourself, you don't speak for your team. That's how I've always felt about that." Sanchez said that if he had an issue with a fellow teammate, he would discuss it with them privately. He did say, though, that the comments didn't have much of an effect on him. "I think that kind of stuff happens, guys get frustrated," Sanchez said. "We have a bunch of professional players, and (if) that's the way somebody chose to do it, that's fine. It really didn't bother me."

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 05:06:32 -0800 New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said the team did have discussions about free-agent QB Peyton Manning (Colts) before extending the contract of QB Mark Sanchez. "We looked into that possibility as someone to add to our team," Tannenbaum said of Manning, declining to characterize the level of interest. "We had discussions internally. We monitored the situation. As events continued to unfold, we kept pushing the extension with Mark."
Sat, 10 Mar 2012 05:03:36 -0800 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez said Friday, March 9, he was never distrubed by speculation the team would pursue free-agent QB Peyton Manning (Colts). "Not at all," Sanchez said. "The best part about it is, they chose to stick with me. I'm going to be their starting quarterback for the next few years here and that's exciting.

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 05:11:20 -0800 New York Jets impending free-agent RB LaDainian Tomlinson said if the team were to sign free-agent QB Peyton Manning (Colts), QB Mark Sanchez would ask to play elsewhere. "I think he would probably go in and maybe ask to be released," Tomlinson said. "Because here is Mark Sanchez's gripe: 'I took you guys to two straight AFC Championship Games; yeah I didn't get it done last year, but my first and second year I took you to two AFC Championship Games. How can you turn around and just bring in another quarterback right now?' Rightfully so, he would be a little mad. That's all a part of it. But at the same time, if he could grow up a little bit and try to learn from somebody like Peyton Manning, then maybe in a couple of years – two or three years – if they did decide to go with Peyton Manning, he could learn from that and then also be the quarterback again."
Sat, 03 Mar 2012 07:34:36 -0800 New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez has been working free-agent QB Chad Pennington (Dolphins) to learn offensive coordinator Tony Sparano's scheme.

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:03:49 -0800 The New York Jets will look very carefully at the quarterback position in the offseason, even though general manager Mike Tannenbaum said QB Mark Sanchez is their starting quarterback. The team will not rule out Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning if he does hit the market. "We don't need to bring in another guy to make Mark Sanchez great. Mark Sanchez wants to be great because that's who he is," Tannenbaum said. "With that said, we're looking at that position very carefully and I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the day, by September, that position group as a whole looks a little bit different than it did at the end of the 2011 season." Asked directly if the Jets would 'kick the tires' on Manning, Tannenbaum replied, "It's really important that we always try to improve the team. With that said, I expect Mark Sanchez to be our quarterback next year, but when we have opportunities to improve our team that's what we're going to do."

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:04:36 -0800 New York Jets TE Dustin Keller said QB Mark Sanchez and WR Santonio Holmes have talked since the season ended and he does not believe there will be any problems in the locker room next season.
Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:07:23 -0800 New York Jets impending free-agent WR Plaxico Burress offered very little when asked to comment on the play of QB Mark Sanchez.
