How do you feel now about Sanchez and Freeman at QB?

To take it a step further, I'm actually not sure the Chiefs would have even made the playoffs with Sanchez at quarterback, because as bad as Cassel has been during the regular season, he's been worse. The only way they (meaning the Jets) have even gotten in at all was because the defense has been strong enough to carry the team during the regular season, which has not so far been the case here.

There is a difference in QB play from Sanchez to Cassel, though. They both run a similar offense but only one has been proven to lead a game winning drive and win playoff games.
