In the end, it took Carson Palmer a decade to get back to his best, but his revival was not sustained for the full duration of the season before he suffered the same injury that stole his potential initially. Even if he never plays again, he'll finish his career as the most successful professional quarterback that hails from USC.

In a sport as unapologetically and stereotypically meaty as football I have to admire Mark Sanchez's unwavering commitment to giving no fucks about the opinions of anyone about his tastes. The problem with this quote in the above paragraph is that Sanchez's armsor his use of it at a minimumhasn't been as stable than that of any other Broadway performer. In the four years he was an offensive lineman for the Jets the team, he was generally unreliable as a quarterback. this didn't deter them from Jets from signing him to a multimillion-dollar extension. Don't forget: the butt-fumble.

The butt fumble happened on an NBC-telecast of a primetime Thanksgiving game against an opponent from the division, one of three consecutive Jets falters that resulted in three Patriots touchdowns in the span of 52 minutes. It became the only sports phenomenon that went viral beyond the sports world; EVERYONE saw it.

This was basically the end for Sanchez as a Jet. Rex Ryan spent the rest of the season shifting from Sanchez as well as Greg McElroy as the starter and neither made an argument to stay in the position. The two did not make a case to be a backup, or even.

The next year, 2013 it was Sanchez's last year on the field in New York. He suffered a shoulder injury while playing behind a fake offensive line during the fourth quarter during a preseason gamemedia outlets and sports radio took note of the story. Ryan named rookie Geno Smith the starter as Sanchez recovered. After the October season, Sanchez endured a last-minute surgery which was a prelude to his release in the spring following. It was a happy ending to an ignominious two seasons.

Yet.

It's the playoffs that he has won: the two AFC Championship Game appearances in his first two seasons in the league, and four wins in the playoffs on the road throughout the process. They are not a good metric for measuring quarterbacks, but Mark Sanchez notched as many wins in the playoffs during his first two seasons just like Russell Wilson. Again: faulty metric yet. It's not a minus.

Any criticism of Sanchez's career is also undermined because of his rebirth at Philadelphia. In his four appearances for the Eagles since Nick Foles broke his collarbone, Sanchez has completed 62.3% of his passes, having scored seven touchdowns, and six interceptions. He has thrown for over 300 yards in all three of his games, and in his last game against the Panthers, he threw for more than 265 yards and no interception , which was the first of his careers. In other words, he's shown ... pretty good. This is an endorsement of coaching: another feather to Chip Kelly's cap, and reason enough to Brian Schottenheimer to never hold any other coaching position in professional football.

It is rare to have a five-year veteran starting quarterback who isn't well-known, however this is the reality of Jets' mismanagement. Mark Sanchez may yet prove to be more than just adequate and perhaps very good. In the meantime, he's just surviving, which is more than enough.

The narrative threads connecting Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, and Mark Sanchez are privilege and talent. All three went to high school in Orange County and were highly-sought players who started for Pete Carroll at USC. Three of them were among the top ten picks from the Madden NFL 24 Draft.

Where they diverge and then intertwine the issue of injury and the subsequent hardships of playing Madden NFL 24. Palmer was twice injured and suffered a catastrophic ACL tear. Leinart's last game in the Madden NFL 24 was replacing an injured Palmer with the Raiders in 2012. and Sanchez who was out of action for a year with a shoulder injury, is getting a second chance on a Mut 24 coins new team because of the starter's fractured clavicle -- the same injury that derailed Leinart's chance to play again. Sanchez may yet replace Palmer for the position of Cardinals the team's starting pitcher, to complete the ouroboros.

In a moderately uninformed assessment the Palmer decade of exemplary playing as a quarterback elevates his Trojan trio to "almost at a level of" as the statements generated by the two younger players will provide a foundation of entertainment. The bottom line is cheap madden 24 coins that I wouldn't suggest any USC head coach for your professional team -- unless the only other option is the Notre Dame alumnus.
