(Mandatory Credit: Debby Wong-US PRESSWIRE) How many loses and inexcusable turnovers does it take a coach to make a quarterback change? Apparently for Rex Ryan seven loses and 18 turnovers (4th most in the league) are not enough for his likening. Remember the likes of Joey Harrington and Kyle Boller, both of whom were first round busts that were given 3-4 years to succeed, but they flat out could not. It appears that Mark Sanchez might be at that point in New York, his struggles this season have placed him 32nd out of 34 quarterbacks in quarterback rating. “I just think when I looked at everything, the biggest thing that I kept coming back to was what I had mentioned before about who gives us the best opportunity to win, in particular, this week.
