Mark Sanchez will be the starting quarterback for the Jets next season, says general manager Mike Tannenbaum. Sanchez struggled this season and New York missed the postseason despite Super Bowl aspirations. "We'll look at every position, if we can tweak or change it, and we'll look at the quarterback position as a whole, but as far as the starter goes, it's Mark," Tannenbaum said. "Mark's body of work speaks for itself. Is it perfect? No. But his characteristics are any GM's dream. The guy really wants to be good. ... And I think he’d be the first to tell you he needs to get better." The Jets reached the AFC Championship Game in each of Sanchez's first two seasons, but lost four of their last five contests in 2011.
