I never looked at it this way, but does Drew Bledsoe have a point?
Mark Sanchez helped lead the Jets to back-to-back AFC title game appearances in his first two seasons. Then it all fell apart.
Is the quarterback position for that franchise cursed? Former NFL gunslinger Drew Bledsoe believes that being a Jets signal caller is the ultimate sacrifice.
Bledsoe told Colin Cowherd that playing quarterback for the Jets is like being a “sacrificial virgin,‘ dumped into a volcano.
“You know, I’m just so damn happy for Mark Sanchez,” Bledsoe told Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio. “I mean, going to play quarterback for the Jets, it’s kind of like you know when they used to like take the pretty young virgin up to the edge of the volcano and just throw ’em in? That’s kind of what it is when you play quarterback for the Jets. It just feels bad.
“And Mark had to live with that for a long time. And people threw him under the bus like he was the whole reason for the demise of the Jets. To see him be able to come on the field in a good system with good talent and perform well, I’m just really happy for him.”
The comparison was harsh, but the Jets have the same amount of All Pro at quarterback, that they do Super Bowls since Joe Namath retired.
That would be zero!
