Here's the problem...Sanchez unquestionably has more upside then Cassel does, so if we're having a debate about who's better today...that's a serious issue.

Unquestionably? Exactly why? Oh you must mean all the 300 yard games he's had. Oh wait.....

300-yard games mean nothing. Hell, Thigpen was a pretty decent fantasy QB last year.

It's not even an arguable statement to say that Sanchez has more upside. There's a reason that he was a top-5 pick. He has all the tools, physical and otherwise, to be elite.

Now, that doesn't mean that Cassel won't prove to be the better of the two (which won't happen, but for the sake of conversation...).

How do you know he has all the tools?

You can't possibly be serious? Oh wait....

The difference in the Jets so far is their defense giving up HALF the points they allowed last year. You're not going to lose often holding teams to 11 ppg. They're actually scoring 4 fewer points/game on offense this year than they did in '08, and heavily balanced towards the run over the pass (104 runs/84 passes). Which is exactly what you would want with a rookie QB, and Sanchez has done his job as well as any rookie could. I'd imagine if the Chiefs were able to do the same thing with Cassel, he's probably have really good numbers. Hell, he's completing 2/3 of his passes without a running game, a line or receivers.

The thing is, most of us that wanted to draft Sanchez alos wanted to go O-Line heavy in the draft (a deep O-line draft) and let Sanchex sit while the O-Line developed.

We wouldbn't expect him to be a savior behind this crap O-Line, and speaking for myself, I don't expect Cassel to be either.

However, I do expect Sanchez to be a much better QB over his career than Cassel.

This has got to be one of the most apt thread titles in Chiefs Planet history.

The Jets are winning because of that defense. Not Sanchez.

Sanchez is playing very well, to be sure. But he's not the sole reason that team is 3-0. The Jets are playing well as a team.

Oh it's absolutely a team effort. Everybody is pulling their weight, including the ROOKIE Quarterback.

Failure to recognize that Sanchez has made plays to contribute to the Jets winning is simply failure.
