I'm sorry, but there's no way Sanchez was in as tough a spot as Ryan was at BC. Maybe he didn't have top prospects around him like Leinart did but it's freakin USC they recruit like nobody's business. BC on the other hand...not so much.
I would much rather be taking a guy from I-AA Delaware who wasn't surrounded by one of the best teams in the country.
Look at the record
last year Flacco from Delaware, Ryan from BC both are instant hits.
2007 Jamarcus from powerhouse LSU hasn't done much, Brady Quinn at Notre Dame, I know they have been sucking, but they still recruit very well.
2006 you have Vince Young from Texas, Matt Leinart from USC, and who's the successful one? Cutler from Vanderbilt..
Eli went to Ole Miss, a good team, but in a strong SEC, he was certainly tested.
Rivers went to NC State, they're not that great.
Roethlisberger went to Miami of Ohio.
Kyle Boller went to CAl, Rex Grossman Florida. Not so good.
Carson Palmer is the exception.
Recent history doesn't favor the QBs from top schools.
