Which is exactly what you would want with a rookie QB, and Sanchez has done his job as well as any rookie could. I'd imagine if the Chiefs were able to do the same thing with Cassel, he's probably have really good numbers. Hell, he's completing 2/3 of his passes without a running game, a line or receivers.

The thing is, most of us that wanted to draft Sanchez alos wanted to go O-Line heavy in the draft (a deep O-line draft) and let Sanchex sit while the O-Line developed.
We wouldbn't expect him to be a savior behind this crap O-Line, and speaking for myself, I don't expect Cassel to be either.
However, I do expect Sanchez to be a much better QB over his career than Cassel.
