Jets want Peyton, not Sanchez

Even with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer out (even though coach Rex Ryan said he’d be back unless he becomes a head coach), some Jets players want to see more changes on offense.

As Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News explains it, “several key Jets players and members of the organization” have concerns regarding the ability of quarterback Mark Sanchez to do the job.

Some even want the team to dump Sanchez and replace him with Peyton Manning.

“Come on. That’s a no-brainer,” one Jets source told Mehta. “If you have a chance to get a healthy 36-year-old Peyton Manning and you don’t do it, then you’re stupid. If I could get a healthy 36-year-old Peyton Manning, then, hell yeah, I would trade Sanchez.”

Sanchez did ok for a couple years...is he lazy, a partyer, full of himself? I thought he might be decent and I still don't think he sucked this year because of lack of talent.

Remarkable on how the Jets can't seem to keep their mouths shut about each other.

Showing just how fractured the Jets locker room might be, center Nick Mangold wrote on his Twitter account that the New York Daily News story wasn't true, but he also ripped his own teammates.

"If 'unnamed sources' want to attack Mark, man up and put your name to it," he tweeted.

Ross Tucker of ESPN.com raises an interesting possibility. Could Chad Henne follow Sparano from Miami to New York to provide competition for Mark Sanchez
