>Sanchez only through 15 times but the 12 completions were mostly very good passes - and Braylon Edwards dropping the touchdown pass ( echoes of his Browns career ) kept those numbers from even being better. I really thought Sanchez looked good - but not nearly as good as he's going to look next year.

In Revis's case the term "shutdown corner" is apropos. Did you catch that thing they showed detailing the leading receivers he has held to 35 yards or fewer? Pretty impressive.

You may be right about Sanchez. Or not. He had some really bad rookie games earlier in the season. He wasn't benched for them, for which I tip the hat to the otherwise obnoxious Rex Ryan, but they have done better without him playing the gunslinger role. People forget how horrible John Elway's rookie season was.
