I don't care if Sanchez is drafted or if he wins the job. I just believe that every rookie needs to fight for their job, and that too often the fans and the media put too much pressure on them to start even if they're not ready or not the best option. I just believe that in this stage, you need to force a guy like Sanchez to prove that he's worth a starting job and you need to give Thigpen every last chance to succeed before you give up on him. Just my thoughts.

Uh, option D is option B with different words thrown around.
Like I said, he has to show he's proficient in a pro style offense.
No one is saying that Sanchez should be given the job without competition, but considering who we're dealing with in Thigpen, I think a lot of people are assuming he'll beat him out fair and square - or that Thigpen will show he's not capable of running the offense, and Sanchez or a vet (Huard will not be here) will have to step in.
