The thing that you just don't seem to get is that the draft isn't the lottery. You don't just buy a ticket hoping to win. You have to have faith in the guy you draft. That doesn't make you 'scared'.
Now, if YOU were GM, and YOU drafted Sanchez, I couldn't bash you for it, because you clearly believe in the kid. But, to bash someone else for not believing in him or Stafford is silly.
Personally, I believe in Stafford. I would have liked to see the Chiefs draft him. In fact, with every loss, I thought 'we are closer to Matt Stafford'.
But, even though I personally think he is going to be a great QB, I understand the concerns and the questions about him. I don't think those people are 'scared'.
And, it would be dumb to draft a QB over a guy that you thought was better just because he was a QB. That is rationalization and hope.
I know that runs rampant on this board, but it isn't a way to run a franchise.
