Darrelle Revis rips Mark Sanchez: ‘We didn't have a quarterback'

Share

Before joining the Eagles, quarterback Mark Sanchez took his share of flak when he was a member of the New York Jets.

But it was mostly the fan base and members of the media dishing out criticism. 

Now, you can add Darrelle Revis to the list of Sanchez critics. Revis was recently profiled in a Sports Illustrated cover story and didn't speak too highly of his former teammate.

You may recall Sanchez was the signal caller for the Jets when they reached back-to-back AFC Championship games in 2009 and 2010. During the SI interview, Revis, who was a major reason for the team's success back then, recalled the two losses.

"We almost made it [in 2009 and ’10], and we didn’t have a quarterback," Revis said (via FOX Sports).

Burn.

Revis softened his original statement, though. Maybe he realized he was being a bit harsh.

"Mark was solid," Revis said. "He wasn’t elite."

It's worth noting that, despite subpar performances in the regular season, Sanchez actually had respectable numbers in the playoffs as a Jet. In six career postseason starts, he went 4-2 with a 94.3 QB rating. He also completed 60.5 percent of his passing attempts and had nine touchdowns to just three interceptions.

If Sanchez winds up winning the starting job in Philadelphia, Week 3 should be interesting as the Eagles will travel to MetLife Stadium on Sept. 27 to take on Revis and the Jets.
