Sanchez is coming out

[smittysbar]

ESPN - Sanchez is entering the draft

[PunkinDrublic]

I hope like hell you're right.

[OnTheWarpath15]

YES!

[beer bacon]

Its raining men.

[Hydrae]

That is what I wanted to hear. I think he will look good in red and gold (again), :)

[Deberg_1990]

Hell yes! Let the Stafford/Sanchez debates begin!

[Micjones]

That all but guarantees us a chance to draft one of the top 2 QB's in the draft class.
Will Pioli pull that trigger?

[RUSH]

YES!

[journeyscarab]

Ghey

[warrior]

Good news

[The Franchise]

Sanchez......welcome to Arrowhead.

[the Talking Can]

awesome

we have a great shot at 2 good QBs!!

[Archie Bunker]

Stafford or Sanchez with no chance of Bradford

:rockon:

[88TG88]

This decision only makes me happy if he comes here. If not it will be a down year at Southern Cal.

[SCTrojan]

I'm bummed as a USC fan, but I'm excited at the prospect of having him play for the Chiefs.

<!-- begin story body --> <!-- template inline -->USC's Mark Sanchez (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=174154) plans to announce Thursday that he will forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft, sources close to Sanchez and USC told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.<!-- begin whole table -->
<!-- begin top part -->


<!-- end sidebar table --> The announcement will occur at USC's Heritage Hall, and Pete Carroll is returning from a trip to Hawaii to be at Sanchez's side for the announcement. Sources say that Sanchez has been discouraged from turning pro by family members and that Carroll asked his quarterback to wait until Thursday's NFL deadline for underclassmen to allow for a change of heart. If Sanchez submits his paperwork to the NFL on Thursday, as expected, he would have four days to change his mind, as long as he does not enter into an agreement with an agent.

That doesnt sound so good?

[Crybaby Power]

Hes better than Stafford, thats for sure.

[beavis]

That all but guarantees us a chance to draft one of the top 2 QB's in the draft class.
Will Pioli pull that trigger?

There was a guy on 810 this morning from Boston who predicted he'd trade out of the #3 to accumulate picks.

[cdcox]

Hell yes! Let the Stafford/Sanchez debates begin!

Either one.

My head will explode if they go 1 and 2. Scared to death that a team will trade up into the 2 slot if St. Louis decides not to take a QB. I was pretty cool about the Pioli situation because most every candidates name that was mentioned (except the TB guy) sounded okay to me. This one has me freaking out and it's only January. This is likely our best shot at a franchise QB for a few years.

If we land one of these two, this off-season will set the table for years and years to come.

[Thig Lyfe]

I can see it now... Sanchez-to-Gonzalez: The Mexican Conexican! WOOOO

[cdcox]

meh

You know meh backwards is hem, which is dangerously close to "herm". This isn't a meh.

[aturnis]

Its raining men.

ROFL

[Tribal Warfare]

Hell yes! Let the Stafford/Sanchez debates begin!

Their isn't one either/or are cool with me

[Spott]

Hell yes! Let the Stafford/Sanchez debates begin!

Stafford to the Lions and Sanchez to the Rams.

[KCChiefsMan]

thats a good thing, Bradford staying at OU and Sanchez or Stafford! One of those 2 will look great in Red and Gold!

[KCChiefsMan]

Stafford to the Lions and Sanchez to the Rams.

it would be our luck

[Micjones]

Stafford to the Lions and Sanchez to the Rams.

That would suck goat dick.

I think if that comes to pass we definitely trade back.

[007]

You know meh backwards is hem, which is dangerously close to "herm". This isn't a meh.Ok, I'll give ya that. He can't possibly be as big a failure as Herm.

[Mecca]

My friend keeps telling me the Chiefs are going to take BJ Raji cause thats the kinda thing the Pats do.

[88TG88]

That would suck goat dick.

I think if that comes to pass we definitely trade back.

yup

[Mecca]

You have to have someone who wants to trade with you....

[Micjones]

You have to have someone who wants to trade with you....

Absolutely, but I think we'd find a taker.
Someone will want an Andre Smith, Aaron Curry, or Michael Crabtree.

[Mecca]

Eesh, Smith I can see but those other 2 I doubt it..

[Buzzsaw]

My friend keeps telling me the Chiefs are going to take BJ Raji cause thats the kinda thing the Pats do.


Makes sense, Warren, Seymour and Wilfork are all 1st round draft picks. And they hit on all three as well, 3 for 3.

[Mr. Laz]

nice ..... as soon as Bradford went back to school, sanchez entered the draft.

hehe

[KChiefs1]

Will Detroit go with Stafford leaving us with Sanchez?
How bad would it suck if Detroit went Stafford & St Louis went with Sanchez?

Pioli love Nate Davis?

[88TG88]

CP maybe

Pioli has to be smarter than that.

[Mecca]

I don't think they're gonna go 1-2...

The Lions especially and even the Rams may shy away from the QB position just due to where they're coming from since they both just promoted people from within.

[ChiefsCountry]

Hell yes! Let the Stafford/Sanchez debates begin!

No debate from me, either one would work.

[Chiefnj2]

I can't wait until the massive meltdown when Pioli passes on Sanchez.

[Mecca]

I can't wait until the massive meltdown when Pioli passes on Sanchez.

And if he does take him here will be a meltdown from all the people who love Tyler Thigpen.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I can't wait until the massive meltdown when Pioli passes on Sanchez.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he passes on Stafford/Sanchez and takes a guy like Davis, Bomar or not take a QB at all.

[Mr. Laz]

at least i will have some kind of trust in Pioli's ability to evaluate which Quarterback to pick.

if trade down and then draft a nate davis in round 3 then i guess Pioli saw something.


i would never have that trust with Peterless ....... never

[Mr. Laz]

personally i want Chuck Cook fired almost as much as Herman Edwards

[Buehler445]

I don't think they're gonna go 1-2...

The Lions especially and even the Rams may shy away from the QB position just due to where they're coming from since they both just promoted people from within.


Why would they shy away from QB? If either of the two would shy away I would think it would be St. Louis because of the Bulger contract.

A #1 QB not working out will get you fired especially when you are an in house promoted guy and not a completely new person..

Take say Andre Smith is a supersafe pick. Some people do think about that, Carl always did.

[RUSH]

I'm stating the obvious, but after all these years, it's about time things start going our way. We got the best GM available and now we probably have an opportunity to snag a QBOTF (pull the trigger Scott). You can't help but feel good as a Chiefs fan.

[evolve27]

His recievers are always too wide open for my liking after watching game tape, even though he can run out under center. Lacks experience. Stafford is a better talent.

[DaneMcCloud]

Dane was right

[DaneMcCloud]

Talk radio in SoCal has Sanchez going to the Chiefs at number three.

"They" say that he's 5 times the athlete that Carson Palmer was and that he'll be a stud NFL QB.

We shall see...

ROFL

[HMc]

For the 3 or 4 seasons that I've been following draft talk, it seems to me that the guys being tossed around as the top 10 in january bare very little resemblance to the top 10 that actually gets picked.

Remember when Leinart was supposed to go in the top 3? Then he dropped to 10.

[Buehler445]

A #1 QB not working out will get you fired especially when you are an in house promoted guy and not a completely new person..

That's fair. Thanks for the follow-up.

Just saw on ESPN that his father said he's still undecided

This.

First:

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, to the matter at hand. Clark has stated that he wants a Franchise QB. Clark has stated that we are building a Championship Team through the draft and minimal FA.
We are getting a drafted, franchise QBOTF.

Print it!

[notorious]

There is still this little thing called the "Combine". Players will fall and players will rise after this small event. There is still a lot crazy things that are going to happen between now and the draft.

Ah, the Combine...

Those silly little numbers that determined Brandon Flowers wasn't 1st round, and landed him right in our grateful laps...

Thank you Combine! :D

[Basileus777]

Excellent. Sanchez at 3 would not upset me at all.

ALL HAIL MCCLOUD!!!!! PRAISE HIS GREATNESS!!!!:rockon::toast::thumb:

Seriously, did you ever have one of those weeks where every day is better than the one that preceded it, and all the stars have aligned in perfect support of your greatest desires?

I'm getting SO fucking plowed this weekend.:D

[jjchieffan]

I like Sanchez' upside. He looks like a great pro prospect, I just don't like his lack of experience. If we get him, Thigpen HAS to be the starter next season. From listening to talk about him on Sirius, the consensus seems to be that he needs another year in college to develop, because he is not ready yet. My biggest fear is that Stafford/Sanchez is the next Manning/Leaf, and we end up drafting Leaf. You can't help but wonder if Ryan Leaf's career would have been better had he just stayed in school one more year.

[eazyb81]

Good deal. The more talented prospects available, the better for us.

I still have Stafford ahead of Sanchez, but wouldn't be disappointed if we end up with the Mexican Assassin.

I agree. I think any reasonable football fan would too. He has to do his "clipboard holding internship" for a minimum of one season, and get acclimated to the process, the players, and the system.

Jesus Christ we're at such a great place right now!

Dirty Sanchez?

Leaf didn't fail because he needed more experience. Leaf failed because he was a freaking head case (and always had been).

[SAUTO]

And if he does take him here will be a meltdown from all the people who love Tyler Thigpen.

I AM a thigpen supporter but i feel as though sanchez is a guy you cant pass on. and now with a guy who might ACTUALLY be able to see talent i have faith that PIOLI (FEELS AWESOME TO SAY THAT) will do the right thing. so what ever he decides i'm rollin with until he shows differently

[SAUTO]

Leaf didn't fail because he needed more experience. Leaf failed because he was a freaking head case (and always had been).

on one of those draft bust countdowns they blamed it on the chiefs KICKING HIS ASS

I have officially achieved "Faith In Franchise Competence"-boner.

'Tis a strange, new, and wonderful feeling!

You may be right, but I just thought he was immature.

If ever there was a time when a team would find value moving into the top 5 of the draft, it is this year. There are a litany of teams who may covet one of these young men and make the move necessary to enlist their services. It's not like it's never happened to this franchise before.

It's Official.

LOS ANGELES -- USC quarterback Mark Sanchez will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Sanchez and Georgia's Matthew Stafford, another junior coming out early, are considered the top two quarterback prospects in the draft. Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford of Oklahoma decided to return to school next year.

Sanchez is coming off a spectacular Rose Bowl against Penn State. The fourth-year junior went 28-for-35, setting a Rose Bowl record by completing 80 percent of his passes. He threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns, and also ran for a score in the Trojans' 38-24 victory over Penn State.

[eazyb81]

This week simply can not get any better.

good enough for me pahtnah WOOOOOOHOOOOOO

[Mr. Laz]

with Stafford and Sanchez both coming out there just isn't any realistic chance that we don't have a viable QB to draft at #3

[eazyb81]

Kiper is already predicting Stafford to Detroit and Sanchez to KC.



This is too good to be true. We may finally - FINALLY - have our QBOTF.

[DeezNutz]

Sanchez to Gonzalez has a good ring to it.

[BigRichard]

You know how I know your gay? Your coming out.

[evolve27]

Sanchez to Gonzalez has a good ring to it.

It would have been even better if that Mexican Tackle, Ramiro Pruneda, was blocking for them.

[BigRichard]

Sanchez to Gonzalez has a good ring to it.

We can have a trick play from Sanchez to Gonazlez and call it the Dirty Sanchez... Oh wait...

[eazyb81]

with Stafford and Sanchez both coming out there just isn't any realistic chance that we don't have a viable QB to draft at #3

Let's not jinx ourselves. You never know what the Rams will do at 2. Even if they don't take a QB, someone could trade up in front of us to steal Stafford/Sanchez.

[the Talking Can]

well, I wish we were picking second to make sure...but this is still great news....

[the Talking Can]

Let's not jinx ourselves. You never know what the Rams will do at 2. Even if they don't take a QB, someone could trade up in front of us to steal Stafford/Sanchez.

in which case we need to be willing to trade up as well

[eazyb81]

in which case we need to be willing to trade up as well

Yeah, that's a possibility.

All I know is that this place is going to have an absolutely epic meltdown if one of Stafford or Sanchez is there for us at 3 and we pass....

[OnTheWarpath15]

Yeah, that's a possibility.

All I know is that this place is going to have an absolutely epic meltdown if one of Stafford or Sanchez is there for us at 3 and we pass....

I'm almost counting on it.

Damn, Pete Carroll almost sounded pissed that Sanchez was coming out. I realize he's disappointed, but I thought he would at least fake like he was more supportive.

[Tribal Warfare]

Let's not jinx ourselves. You never know what the Rams will do at 2. Even if they don't take a QB, someone could trade up in front of us to steal Stafford/Sanchez.

My lucky Chiefs T-shirt hasn't failed yet this offseason, so it's keeping the bad mojo away.

Mitch Mustain.... Couldn't beat out Casey Dick at Arkansas ROFL

[kysirsoze]

Stafford to the Lions and Sanchez to the Rams.

man, can the lions organization be that dumb to dump another rookie QB into the worst team in the league without building around him first?

I guess the answer is yes but hopefully they have 'what alcoholics refer to as a "moment of clarity"' and not a Harrington relapse.

[alanm]

Stafford to the Lions and Sanchez to the Rams.If that were to happen this place would melt down. I figure the Chiefs would then draft the LT from Alabama and move Albert back to the right side.

[kysirsoze]

*Cough*

:LOL:

[DaKCMan AP]

Mitch Mustain.... Couldn't beat out Casey Dick at Arkansas ROFL

As a true freshman while stuck in an offense that featured the wildcat formation as a staple.

Damian Williams struggled his freshman year too so he sucks also, right?

Meanwhile, Sanchez couldn't beat out John David Booty.

[kysirsoze]

Carroll looked like an asshole in the press conference. He acts like he was a freshman and not in his fourth year.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Stafford to the Lions and Sanchez to the Rams.

Detroit to the Super Bowl and St. Louis to the Super Bowl, and the Chiefs with thumb up ass.

Yayy!!!:rolleyes:
