When the Jets lost this past Sunday to Buffalo, word was mentioned about Mark Sanchez never having played in cold weather before, that that's why he had problems throwing the ball.
Having played his whole life in California, and at the University of Southern California, this would make some sense. Trouble is he had no problem throwing the ball.
To the other team.
A pro QB has to be able to throw the ball anytime, any weather, and make the adjustments necessary. This is the National Football League. Not Pop Warner. He can practice in the cold. Put him in a refrigerator. Bring in big fans that spew ice-air in his face and shrink his hands. Make him deal with it.
Regardless of all that, he'll be back in sunny California to hurl pigskins, so there should be no question of weather being a factor.
I'm not worried and don't mean to bust his chops. He's going through the most important growing pains anyone can in any new job. We've all started jobs and screwed everything up. That's how we learned not to screw them up again.
So long as he remembers his team will be in white, the Raiders in black, he should be golden.
Have at'm, Sanchez. Give'm heck.
