Mark Sanchez May Be Out Longer Than Hoped

As the Jets were in the midst of Geno Smith's NFL debut, word came around that their former starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez could have a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder.

The report has been disputed by several sources, including CBS' Jason LaCanfora, who said the Jets don't believe the shoulder is torn.

If Sanchez does have a torn labrum, he could be out for a very, very long time.

It's not as if Jets fans really care right now. They are basking the glow of Geno Smith's first victory as New York's quarterback, and most fans never want to see Sanchez take another snap for the team ever again.

If the shoulder is as badly torn as reported, then Jets fans won't have to worry about seeing Sanchez on the field ever again in a Jets uniform most likely.

This also would explain why the Jets went out and signed veteran flame-out Brady Quinn to be the team's third quarterback behind Smith and Matt Simms.

For Sanchez, the injury could be a cruel end to a nightmarish career in green and white.
