Basically .. the Ravens were one top flight QB away from being the best dynasty around.
And because of incompetent qb play - what do they have to show for it? Just one Super Bowl ring ... and the key to that lone Super Bowl ring was thanks in part to them blocking a short range field goal against the Titans and returning it for a TD .. basically a 10 point swing play in a razor thin playoff road game against a team who they lost that years divisional crown to.

i might be missing your point but this seems to be an arguement in favor of the jets.
if all they're missing is competent play at qb, i don't see why sanchez in his 2nd year can't improve over his rookie year as an nfl qb. if the jets can win games with 17-21 points on offense, that takes a lot of the pressure off snachez to make plays and reduces the brett favre like forced throws into coverage.
i think this is good news for sanchez. he won't put up great fantasy numbers but he won't need to for the jets to win games.
