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.

You're exaggerating like usual. I never said he "crumbles to the wagon" - I said there's a chance he would be less prepared than a similarly talented QB that did not play with such talented players.

Just like in real life, facing adversity and fighting through tough situations makes players stronger. If a player hasn't had the opportunity to face many tough situations or have the entire team's expectations on his shoulders, then the NFL could be a shock to him.

There is a reason why guys like Leinart, Vince Young, Rex Grossman, and Jamarcus Russell - guys that have come from football factories - have looked like busts early in their career. I don't think it's all just a lack of tools on their part.
