Bradford got to make a ton of easy throws that was my issue with him.

That is a fair point.

I admit I haven't watched much of USC except in a couple of games so how was their O-Line and did Sanchez get hit or sacked alot?

Someone quickly point out what "dominant" WR he was throwing to...

That's the main reason I actually prefer Sanchez, even though I'm in the minority.

Seems like the first thing they mention about him are the intangibles, quick decisions, intelligence, passion, right before they mention the limited amount of starts, only playing from behind in one game, and the wrong decision to come out early. Then they usually say, "If this guy stayed in school, he would probably be the #1 overall pick next year".

Well, shit, draft the guy at #3 and let him sit and learn. Is he going to lose talent by learning in the NFL? Experience means a lot, but geez, won't experience learning to adjust how the NFL plays be more valuable?

He got hit more than anyone would realize without watching...he will hang in and take hits to make throws pressure doesn't phase him..

Let me put it to you this way the best lineman on the USC line is a true sophomore center...every lineman was an underclassman but the LG who had been injury plagued throughout his career...

They had numerous sophomores playing it was by no means an experienced or great unit.

I think the thing no one mentions that's important is practicing everyday against the most talented defense in all of college football, and anyone that knows anything about SC knows how intense practices are.

You literally can not find a knock on Sanchez other than experience. Top intangibles, physical talent, leadership, smarts, confidence. It's all there.

Thanks and that makes me feel a little better. I just don't want a situation where we draft a QB and they can't take a hit or they haven't faced alot of adversity because in the NFL that happens on a weekly basis not one or 2 times a season.

In the UCLA game he hung in to complete a pass and took a helmet to the chin...when the drive was over he got patched up on the sideline and didn't miss a play.

That is what I want to hear. No more Brodie Croyle's please.

That is probably why alot of people like Thigpen, he took alot of shots and kept on ticking.

Dude there is no question that he's tough, he dislocated his kneecap and didn't miss a game.

Didn't he miss three weeks of practice?

Frankly, the more I learn about the guy... I am beginning to think he is a head case.

I initially liked the idea that he was going to throw at the combine.

Now, I think he may be a little too arrogant.

I am sure you know about his arrest, I think in his redshirt Sophomore year because the girl said no and he wasn't hearing it.

Now, he has one good year in college and Pete Carroll tells him he should stay in school and he's not hearing it.

Just have to wonder if he thinks he knows better than everyone else, and has this self titled attitude.

Don't need that on this team.

I was really hoping to find out more about him and get sold on him.... nothing so far.

And now we're right back to this "pac 10 sucks" argument, people need to get over that.

How are you able to watch every USC game? They are rarely on TV where I live.

I'm all for Sanchez, but you don't have to be a nationally dominant WR, you just have to be significantly better than who you're playing against.

And USC WAS significantly more talented than the teams they play at probably every position.

DeezNutz 02-20-2009 11:20 AM

Good grief. Now he's arrogant?

After reading stories about Sanchez coming back from injuries and hard hits, the conclusion that is reached is that...........he might be arrogant and a head case.

Ok.
