We really angered Jets fans when we wrote this last year, but Sanchez's rookie numbers (age 23) are virtually indistinguishable from JaMarcus Russell's numbers in his first year as a starter (age 23)... except that Sanchez had more than twice as many interceptions.
That being said, similar numbers do not indicate similar work ethics or similar appetites for delicious, delicious pie. Most highly-drafted quarterbacks take a big step forward in their second seasons, rather than stagnating like Russell. It's reasonable to suggest that Sanchez should improve this year and then improve even more next year. How good will he be eventually? I have no idea. As far as I know, no quarterback was ever drafted in the first round with less of a college pedigree than Sanchez, who because of all the talent on the USC depth chart only had one season as a starter before coming out of college early.
