The Associated Press reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez was 10-for-29 for 119 yards with five interceptions Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills.

The Huddle Take: Sanchez is playing like a rookie, which is hardly a surprise since he is a rookie. But he'll need to be a better game manager to hang on to his starting gig, as the Jets are good enough to win with defense and their running game.

The Associated Press reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez was 17-for-30 for 171 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. He also had a 14-yard touchdown run in the game. Sanchez is the first rookie quarterback to start a season and win his first three games.

The Huddle Take: Sanchez continues to impress and build continuity with his teammates and fans in New York. He is clearly the quarterback of the future for the Jets and the future appears bright at the present time.

Jets Confidential, reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez (knee) was added to the team's injury report Thursday, Sept. 24. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Sanchez is fine and will start Week 3.

The Huddle Take: No worries here as the Jets appear to be clicking on all cylinders to start the year. Sanchez and the Jets could have another big day as they play against a Tennessee defense that has underachieved and given up many big plays during the early stages of the season.

The Associated Press reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez was 5-for-5 for 67 yards with a touchdown pass in his only series Thursday, Sept. 3.

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has named QB Mark Sanchez the team's starting quarterback. Ryan informed Sanchez and QB Kellen Clemens of the decision Wednesday, Aug. 26.

The Huddle Take: Sanchez will start the team's third preseason game, which is usually a good indication of who'll start the season. And the Jets didn't trade up and then pay Sanchez millions of dollars to be a backup. Rex Ryan saw first-hand with Baltimore last year how a rookie quarterback can steer a ship with a good running game and solid defense, which likely makes him comfortable Sanchez can do for the Jets what Joe Flacco did for the Ravens last year.

The Associated Press reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez�s first pass was intercepted for a touchdown during the team�s preseason game Monday, Aug. 24. His second pass was also nearly picked off, but he was able to rebound to finish 3-for-8 for 43 yards with a touchdown and interception in the game.

The Huddle Take: Neither Sanchez nor Kellen Clemens did a lot to separate himself in the Jets' No. 1 QB battle. Head coach Rex Ryan wanted to make the decision before New York's next preseason game, but now he may have to wait and give the battle one more week to play out.

NewYorkJets.com reports New York Jets rookie QB Mark Sanchez has been named the team's starter for their second preseason game. He will make his first start for the team Aug. 24 against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Huddle Take: Well that sure didn't take long to get Sanchez playing with the first team offense. Despite the news this will continue to be a long battle for the starting job as both Sanchez and Kellen Clemens will likely spar right up to the start of the season for the job. Clemens will likely win the job in the end but don't expect to see Sanchez sitting on the bench for long.

The Associated Press reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez was 3-for-4 for 88 yards during the team's preseason game Friday, Aug. 14.

The Huddle Take: Sanchez is poised to compete for the starting quarterback job in New York this season but as is the case with most rookie signal-callers he will likely have his share of setbacks along the way. Look for Kellen Clemens to get the nod for the starting job to begin the year with Sanchez nipping at his heels for the foreseeable future.

Dennis Waszak Jr., of The Associated Press reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez outperformed QB Kellen Clemens during the team's scrimmage Thursday, Aug. 6, possibly giving a slight edge in the team's quarterback competition. Head coach Rex Ryan said, "I wanted to see poise. I also wanted to see the accuracy that he showed. He really did show up." Sanchez was 9-for-15, including four dropped passes, for 70 yards while running the first- and second-team offenses. Clemens was 5-for-7 for 26 yards.

The Huddle Take: The Jets aren't paying Sanchez to hold a clipboard, so if he demonstrates competence he'll likely be on the field.

NewYorkJets.com reports New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said QB Mark Sanchez will receive reps with the first-team offense but there is no timetable for when that will happen. 'I think that�s something we definitely want to do. We�re not going to put a timetable on it. We�re just a couple of practices in. A big part of it - like any rookie or player - is that you have to earn those reps. So as Mark continues to get more comfortable and continues to grow, which he�s doing, we�ll make sure we give him some more work,' Schottenheimer said.

The Huddle Take: Seems there's conflicting information coming out of Jets camp. Yesterday it seemed Sanchez had drawn even with Kellen Clemens for the starting spot, now he's not even taking first-team reps. From a Fantasy standpoint, though, it doesn't really matter who wins the job. Neither one will likely make a Fantasy impact this season.
