If you can't see the upside in someone like Stafford, Sanchez or Clausen, then frankly, you have no idea what you're looking at/for.

Who hates young QBs? Was Sanchez even average, let alone close to perfect?
I can see some upside, but Sanchez was dropped into the perfect situation and failed. So I don't see how anyone can already say we made a mistake. Maybe he proves down the road that we made a mistake, but not right now. He had top defense and top running game and while he flashed at time still had a horrible passer rating on a good team. He was 28th in the league in passer rating, the next worst QB in passer rating for a team that made the playoffs was 16th (Palmer). The Jets won inspite of Sanchez, not because of him. Again not saying he won't improve, but you can't say right now that it was a mistake to pass on him, but you can't say it was a smart move at this time either.
