Apparently, Darrelle Revis likes Sam Bradford’s chances of keeping the Eagles starting quarterback job.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, the Jets cornerback reflected on his team’s back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances, and pointed at Mark Sanchez as the reason those runs didn’t go any further.

“We almost made it, and we didn’t have a quarterback,” Revis said, via the New York Daily News.

Perhaps realizing that that quote sounded exactly as he probably meant it, he circled back to add: “Mark was solid. He wasn’t elite.”

Maybe he was hacked.

No one’s arguing that Sanchez was great, but he’s also an easy piñata at this point for the Jets. Plenty of quarterbacks who weren’t elite won Super Bowls on similarly built teams, but blaming it all on one guy is probably an easier narrative to sell.
