08:03 AM ET 11.23 | How do you like that, Mr. Sanchez? [Rex Ryan] turned to a motivational ploy this week to spark quarterback Mark Sanchez: Ryan has given backup quarterback Mark Brunell reps with the starters in an attempt to light a fire under Sanchez. Ryan did the same thing last December after the Jets lost two in a row. Months later, Sanchez told GQ he wanted to fight the coach for doing it. "I know Mark Sanchez extremely well," Ryan said. "I know how tough, how [much] fighting spirit he has. If it takes me to do this and take a punch in the nose I don't care. I'll do it." ... Sanchez said he was not mad but gave very short answers about Ryan's move. "I guess maybe last year it did [motivate me]," Sanchez said. "That's Rex's deal. I don't know."

Bring back Richard Todd. That'll really put a jump in his start.

Kyle Orton anybody (if he makes waivers to the Jets)? That would motivate more than Brunell...

Motivate him all you want, it doesn't change the fact that he sucks.

Not sure about that, Sanchez's "lock-on" will always be his downfall and it isn't going to change at this point.

a "lock on" mentality in a QB could be a sign of not being entirely confident with the offensive scheme or plays being called....he doesn't seem to believe in the ground and pound

A couple of problems, Sanchez can't throw accurately, so giving a defender more time to get under one of his dying quails won't work out well, and he also has a tendency not to be able to look off a receiver and hit another one.

Who's a worse overall QB right now, Sanchez or Tebow?

It's pretty obvious by now that this relationship is not going to work out. The question is whether Rex and Sanchize go down in flames together, or does Rex get bold enough to realize that his job will be on the line as a result of his QB's inconsistencies and ineffectiveness.

Well, right now Tebow is winning more games than Sanchez. Sanchez is 2 for 2 making it to the AFC Championship, but you could also make the argument that the defense was the reason.
