I don't know that I'd want Eli Manning or Derek Anderson either one.
I would consider Manning a disappointment, for what that's worth. I think he's been pedestrian to this point in his career, although he showed some signs in '08, at least statistically. I've never been particularly impressed by his play, and I think the Chargers made out like bandits on that deal. |

I'd be less hesitant with Stafford than with Sanchez. I just don't think Sanchez has enough experience. One year starting is not enough of a sample size for a top-5 pick, there's too much he's going to have to learn on the job at the professional level, and, while I don't remember the specifics enough to post in any detail, I think history demonstrates that quarterbacks that leave early without a certain number of starts under their belt generally fail. In any case, with Sanchez you're making a shot in the dark based on projection and potential instead of actual production, and I just don't think that's a wise move at the top of the first round.
I don't think you draft a quarterback later than the first round if you intend for him to be your starter. You may end up with one that exceeds expectations and starts, but I think if you're looking for a qbotf in the draft, you do it in the first round. That's where the franchise quarterbacks are. Later picks are for backups and players with flaws that you try to work out in time. If drafting a quarterback is not an option, then you have to find a way to trade for one. There's the obvious talk of Cassel, but I'm not all that enthusiastic about him. Maybe there's another alternative. I don't think there's going to be a solution on the free agent market. However, all that said, for the first time in my tenure as a chiefs fan (10 years now), I have enough faith in the front office that I'll gladly acquiesce to whatever decision they make in the end. If they see enough in Sanchez or in Stafford or in Cassel or even in Thigpen, then, well, I have more faith in that decision being a good one long term than I ever have. |

That Lewin thing is a GUESS, just like anything else he tried to come up with a guessrate formula it is not flawless or correct all the time.
And please stop with Derek Anderson he got himself benched. |

Only morons believe that fantasy stats somehow correlate directly to the effectiveness of a quarterback.

****! It seems that the majority of the fan base would love the QB of the Chiefs to lead all of the Fantasy Football categories instead of actually winning on the football field. Only "True Fans" would take Derek Anderson over Eli Manning or Drew Brees over Ben Rothlisberger. What the ****?? |

Yeah people don't realize it takes time to develop most 1st round QB's.

As good as Big Ben is, I'd like to see Brees in the Pittsburgh offense.
