The Importance Of Success Post Payton/Brees

Didn't Mark Sanchez take them to 2 straight AFC championship games? one of those seasons beating the Patriots in New England in the playoffs?
Mark Sanchez didn't "take" any team anywhere. He sucked.

The years you're referring to are 2009 and 2010, the "Sanchise's" rookie and sophomore years.

In 2009, Sanchez threw for 12 TDs against 20 INTs.

In 2010, the numbers were 17 TDs and 13 INTs.

Sanchez sucked.

Pete Carroll was proven right when he said that Sanchez wasn't ready for the NFL after starting one season at USC.
