In the world of second-guessing and revisionist history, former Jets coach Rex Ryan might be the king.

Ryan, who predicted three Super Bowls while with the Jets, has previously said he wanted to draft Odell Beckham Jr. and trade for Tyrod Taylor when he was the third-stringer in Baltimore. Now he says he always knew Mark Sanchez wasn’t the quarterback the star-crossed franchise longed for when the Jets drafted him in 2009.

“With Sanchez, I knew he wasn’t going to be a franchise quarterback, but I thought he’d be good enough to win with,” Ryan told ESPN’s Rich Cimini. “The guys coming out in this year’s class have a much higher rating than Mark had — and Mark was OK.”

Yes, the same man that Ryan once referred to as ‘The Sanchize’ and tattooed on his arm, never had much potential in the former head coach’s eyes. If that was the case, then why the heck did the team mortgage its future by trading up 12 spots to get him in 2009?

“With Sanchez, we just couldn’t have it anymore,” Ryan continued. “The boneheaded interceptions, especially in the red zone, it was mind-boggling. Unfortunately, Mark never really got better. I think that was the disappointing thing to me.”

New York hasn’t taken a quarterback in the first round since Sanchez. However, that could change this offseason.

With no long-term answer at the position, the Jets will almost certainly take another quarterback in the 2018 draft and could be in a similar position as Ryan and the previous regime was in 2009 when New York was slotted to pick 17th overall. In other words, it may require a lot of ammunition to go up and get one of the top quarterbacks.

If that’s the case, Mike Maccagnan and company must pick the right guy, unlike Ryan did with Sanchez.
