Matt Cassel hadn't started a game since high school. While I wouldn't want him as the QB of the Chiefs, it's one example of a guy stepping in and playing well. Drew Brees had his ups and downs but was certainly ready to start for the Chargers after being drafted in the second round.
You're forgetting the fact that Sanchez was at USC for four years. He's not a true junior, he didn't bounce around from school to school. He played very well at USC.
So what if he's not ready to start in 2009? Very few QB's are ready to start their first year in the NFL. If he's not, sit him for year. But honestly, I don't think that'll be the case. I think he'll start immediately for whomever drafts him.

Cassel sat for three years. Are you okay if Sanchez had to sit for two years?
