Sanchez Has The Early Lead To Be Jets Starting QB

Thus far this summer, rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez appears to have the upper hand on four year veteran Kellen Clemens. Sanchez has dazzled with his poise and arm this summer. In 11 on 11 drills on Saturday, Sanchez hit Jerricho Cotchery on a 40 yard pass for a touchdown.

According to several reports, Sanchez went 10 for 19 with two touchdowns and one interception. Meanwhile, Clemens struggled; he went 4 for 12 with another interception; Clemens now has seven picks in 11 on 11 drills compared to Sanchez's three.
