If not its going to be like Jim Schaff selected Blackledge over Marino.

Here's the thing: it's all a frigging crapshoot. The Patriots drafted Drew Bledsoe #1, and it was a toss-up between him and Rick Mirer, who went #2. Peyton Manning, #1; Ryan Leaf, #2. Tom Brady: 6th round... passed over a shitload of times by many teams, INCLUDING the Patriots.
It wasn't as much about whether or not Sanchez was for real; it was more about whether or not it was worth the RISK that he was for real. To use a pick that high, to pay him all that money when he'd never taken a snap in the NFL.
And, again, let's not line up to play tonsil-hockey with Sanchez's danglies just yet. It's two games in. And that last one, the Patriots played such piss-poor defense that my dead grandmother could've made those throws. Sanchez's uni was whiter than Conan O'Brien's skin. He had a bigger pocket than Tom Arnold on a NY subway train after eating ten Taco Bell burritos. It's easy to look great when you have all the time in the world and no pressure. Let's see what happens over the course of a season before we carve his bust for Canton.
