Since the bust rate of taking a QB in the NFL in the top 5 is the highest of any player, and that your propspect is one with only a years experience, making him a high risk prospect is a risk he would'nt take if he thought there was an actual player that stood more of a chance of being successful. Given we have so many needs.

I'm just guessing though.

Here's the 64K question:

Next year's class has no viable prospects from pro systems.

Are you going to burn another high pick on a guy like Bradford, who will have an even greater learning curve from college to the NFL than Sanchez?

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?
