That's different than what someone like Matt Ryan, Eli Manning, Jay Cutler, etc. had to deal with in college, and I wonder if that lack of adversity has limited his growth.

I'll agree that they don't have to play Oregon every week, and in the case of a lesser athlete the concern is a valid one.
That said, I scarcely doubt you put Sanchez behind the Chiefs O-Line as it stands right now, and everything he has learned just crumbles to dust as the wheels fall off the wagon.
I'm sure our rookies who came from winning programs didn't much care for going 2-14, but that's not going to make them call it quits and give up. If Sanchez becomes the Chiefs QBOTF, he'll roll with the punches and more than likely adapt faster than any other guy we could pick this year.
