A Mark Sanchez scouting report

For those of you who couldn't resist the allure of "Dating in the Dark," here's a summary of Mark Sanchez's Monday evening against the Baltimore Ravens. The New York Jets heir apparent had a less-than-stellar night. Here are the stats: 3 for 8, 43 yards, a touchdown, an interception returned for a touchdown, a dropped interception that should have been returned for a touchdown, two delay of game penalties, and a fumbled hand-off attempt.

The good folks at ESPN were singing Mark's praises when he was done, but if I were the Jets, I would not be elated with his performance. If they wanted a quarterback with a tendency to throw the ball up for grabs when the going gets tough, they could have stuck with this guy.

Everyone has an opinion, and here's mine: Draft Sanchez with caution. And if you've already drafted him, pray to the Supreme Being of your choice that he doesn't get obliterated Saturday, when he will face another top-notch defense: the New York Giants.
