You do realize that Sanchez can sit and learn, yes? That no one on here is advocating him starting opening day?
Do you also realize that this team has 7 playoff wins in history, 6 of which were by HOF QBs. The other one came against Todd Marinovich.
The list of QBs who have beaten us in the playoffs in the last 20 years is a laundry list of HOFers.
It also takes a QB 3 years to develop. By the time you build this fictitious team and then get the QB, what do you have? At best, the 2008 Ravens, a solid all around team whose QB isn't yet good enough to make a drive when they need one.
Does everyone really want the 1990's again?

If I personally picked Sanchez it would be out of desperation. Not because I thougt he was the best player. Is that the way to build a winner?
I'm in my mid 40's and have been a Chiefs fan for all of those senarios you guys speak of. But a knee jerk reaction is not the answer either. I've also seen how that works out.
I realize you think the guy will get it done in the long run. I don't. That's the difference.
You want to keep throwing up the history of the Chiefs in my face as a valid arguement of what not to do. However, you skate the same way of evaluating the player you want. If you look at history, Sanchez will bust.
Does that make it 100% absolute that it will happen? No. But there is no QB that has ever been taken that has succeeded under these circumstances.
Not drafting a player like that doesn't make you scared, it makes you dilligent.
