Eli sat for half a season.

Other than Palmer, none of the others were top five, much less top 10.

No, but between #3 and #11, there is a considerable drop.

Did you read orange's assessment of the expectations surrounding Cutler, who was also the #11 overall selection?

Any QB selected in round 1 is going be under pressure and intense scrutiny. Unless he's 1/1, it's all going to be relatively similar. There's not going to be a big difference between #3 and #11 or #15.

Kitna was a decent starter, Palmer was brought in to ride the bench.

Favre was a HOF, Rodgers was a BPA pick.

Plummer had taken the Broncos to the AFC Championship the year before.

Maddox had a couple of decent years prior to the Steelers drafting Big Ben.

The Giants were the only team that didn't have a QB, and acquired one specifically to sit Eli behind.

The Chiefs do not have a good veteran Qb option. Their situation is more like the Falcons and Ravens of last year.

I hadn't read it.

I think top five picks are held to a different standard. They are paid a lot more, and honestly, when you get out of the top ten, there is less pressure for the organization to start them early due to financial considerations.

QBs taken at #11 overall are under no pressure to perform.
Teams could sit them for 5 years and none of the fans would complain, because he was not a top 10 pick.
Just ask me, I'm Sensible, I know.

I can see him going #10 to the 49ers.... local kid and all that. I just don't see how he goes in the top 10 otherwise.

It will be interesting to watch.

Its not just about the fans. It is about the money that they give these guys. It is about getting a return on your investment. This is a business, you know?

ROFL

But what about all that pressure? Isn't that the biggest issue?

Mecca says we should draft sanchez because his brother went to Yale

Why is the sexual assault thing consistently brought up when it was completely thrown out at laughed about by the cops? The DA wanted to pursue this and they laughed and so go ahead and try there's nothing there.

And that is not remotely what I said there Zombie but hey don't let that stop you. People were questioning why his brother was working on his behalf and I brought that up nothing more nothing less.

Gilbert Gottfrieds take on Mark Sanchez:

Some have said that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman.It is shocking and terrible that some are saying that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman. If anyone has any evidence that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman then they should come forward with that evidence that Mark Sanchez raped a young woman.

I think the only knock on choosing his brother to represent him is that agents do a lot more these days than just figure out your press time and contract. I hope and presume that he has all his ducks in a row though. Hell, maybe this even means he's concentrating on football and not worrying about signing with the biggest corporate fish in the pond...

I believe he's also working with David Dunns firm so it's not just his brother and no one else.

Drew Bledsoe was an underclassman by the way.

Drew Bledsoe. The standard mecca hopes sanchez lives up to.
