    If Mark Sanchez's $8.25 million wasn't guaranteed this year, he would almost surely be released but the Jets are rolling with him because they have no choice.

    Around the League asked Rex Ryan if Sanchez is his starting quarterback, like in past offseasons. Ryan's answer:

    "No. 1, you heard about what John talked about, the competition. Bringing in competition at every position, not just the quarterback position. ... That is what we want to do. So to say Mark Sanchez or this quarterback or that quarterback, I think there's clearly going to be competition."

    Ryan's confidence in Sanchez has waned. There are no more strong statements about Sanchez's ability to get over the hump. But Ryan remains hopeful.

    "I always think a young player can improve," he said. "I don't think there is any doubt. I think if you look at Mark, what is he, 25, 26 years old, in the life of a quarterback, I don't believe that's over the hill by any stretch."

    I've never believed in Sanchez as more than a game manager on a great team, without a great team hes awful.

    they should admit they were wrong to re-sign him and cut ties with him
