The New York Jets didn’t ask much of the QBs in 2009
The Jets just wanted their QBs to manage the game and that’s exactly what they did in 2009. 23-year old rookie QB Mark Sanchez started 15 games for the Jets this season and he completed 196 of 364 passes (53.8%) for 2,444 yards with 12 TD passes and 20 INTs (63.0 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 36 times for 106 yards (2.9 ypc) with 3 TD runs this year. The Jets hope that Sanchez has learned from his mistakes this year and hopes he won’t repeat them in 2010.
26-year old Kellen Clemens started 1 game for the Jets this season and he completed 13 of 26 passes (50%) for 125 yards without a TD or a INT (63.8 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 12 times for 1 yard (0.1 ypc) this year. Clemens has now played in 24 games in his career with the Jets and he has completed 146 of 282 passes (51.8%) for 1,680 yards with 5 TD passes and 11 INTs (59.7 QB Rating). Clemens has also carried the ball 44 times for 119 yards (2.7 ypc) with 1 TD run in his career. The Jets might want to upgrade the back-up position for 2010 as they seem to have little faith in Clemens rushing Sanchez back to the field after he was injured.
