And if the "IT" factor was the selling point, don't we just hold out for Tebow next season? I mean, that kid has the "IT" factor x about a billion.

He was so well developed that before last season he was nearly released...

This is why people think you're stupid.

How did he detect this "it" then? Telepathy?


PhilFree:arrow:

was he though? and if they were going to release him it was only because they DRAFTED a younger guy(remember they draft a qb about every year)

But he wasn't and then he showed why they made the right decision in keeping him. Sanchez is such a long shot to make it in the NFL and if you don't realize that then you aren't the draft guru you think you are. Just ask one of the local historians they'll tell you.


PhilFree:arrow:

No offense to opinion or anything but Matt Cassel is not physically better than Mark Sanchez if he was he wouldn't have gotten picked in the 7th round even without playing.

There are 3 things at play here, he's the guy the Chiefs traded for so obviously some people will put rationale aside to believe in him. He's safe in the minds because he's been in the NFL and was with the Patriots so he's not a college QB. Sanchez is the QB we'll likely have a shot at so he will be ripped to shreds repeatedly.

This fan base does not like the idea of drafting QB's it's been apparent for a long time.

I'm sorry, a long shot, what do you know about him? How much have you watched him?

Do you understand how sound he is? He's very pro ready from many many points yet you call him "such a long shot" meanwhile I get to read how you think Curry can be a rushbacker.

This fan base, full of reeruns.

Sanchez does not have a better arm. In fact, that's one of the slight criticisms about him by the draft guru's - that his arm strength isn't great. Good, and I think it's more than adequate, but it's not any better than Cassel's and looks to be a little less.

His footwork in the pocket is horrible. He has happy feet and dances like he's standing on a hot plate. I think that's correctible, but I see it as a potential problem/red flag.

And Sanchez had the best defense in all of college - by a considerable margin to fall back on, and I don't think that anyone is going to say that USC's offense in D1 wasn't at least moderately comparable to what Cassel had up in NE in the NFL.

Oh, and thanks to Hamas for helping you out a bit there. Nice assist H.

mecca i was(and still am) on the sanchez bandwagon(i would be fine with him) BUT all you guys talk about draft value right? well if cassel and sanchez are so close(which i'm assuming of course but with what you use as analysis and differences on ther physical traits they are pretty equal) isnt it better value to trade a 2 for cassel than use the #3 overall for sanchez???

Anyone who thinks Sanchez has bad feet is a total dumbass, really you should be banned for that statement.

You know what? You can just go **** yourself.

You're steaming pile of shit masquerading as a human being.

**** off.

I don't think they're all that similar to be honest...I think Sanchez physically is better and is 5 years younger...I'd put a 27 year old Sanchez league ahead of where Cassel is today.

I don't hate Matt Cassel but the trade would look great if you could bait the Broncos into trading for him....

i dont think that. he has good footwork, actually IMO MUCH BETTER than stafford, stafford is the guy who gets "happy feet"

Yeah, and Tyler Hansbrough should be the #1 overall pick.
