Could someone post next year's schedule? It looks brutal, so

Stafford is what, 21? And how old is Sanchez, 21 or 22? 5 or 6 years is a big difference.

Just my opinion...

Quarterback is not the position for this argument. Most of them don't even start to click until they're 26 or 27 and it's not at all unusual to see QBs playing into their mid- to late-30s.

To use a rookie as an example, this would essentially be like trading for one of them after they've been groomed for 5 years, skipping the developmental stage and landing them right as they rise into their prime career years. Sort of like what New Orleans did with Drew Brees.
