Reasons for drafting Sanchez

I think you summed it up. He looks like a good QB prospect. I guess you can quibble with his lack of experience, but it does seem like his game will translate well to the pros.

I still think Campbell is a little too slow in his progressions. Of course, he's entering his second year of Zorn's offense (when Hasselbeck "got it") and figures to do much better.

Sanchez seems bright, but who knows if he can execute Zorn's reads quickly. All I know is Sanchez wouldn't do appreciably better than Campbell if we don't get the RT spot resolved.

I think you and Matty both make good points. And I guess the thinking is Sanchez would do a better job of masking other deficiencies (weak RT spot for example) than Campbell could.

I wouldn't be so opposed to getting him, I just hate to give up a ton for him. I think the kid is gonna be bad@ss.

Exactly. What's the net effect going to be of getting him, that's the big question

I totally agree with the people saying it's because we jilted Campbell enough that even if he tears it up, it'll be another Boldin situation.

For me, it's not that we lose Campbell and maybe some draft picks, it's really the whole big picture. Gmanc and I were talking about it today and basically it's you have to be in one mode, rebuilding, a piece away or a dynasty. You can't be a combination of any of those.

Sure, we as fans are part of the problem since we're notoriously impatient, but seriously, sometimes we have to let management know that we're willing to wait and let the team be BUILT the right way.

Wow, hate to quote myself, but basically I just saw the thread about the same thing and I truly agree with everything said there.

Listening to endless hours of this stuff....but this might have some truth. "Sources" out at the park say they are disappointed in JC's ability to extend plays, "make things happen", but MOSTLY his lack of leadership. AND do not believe that will change...
They believe that ALL these things are strong in Sanchez

That's one thing I don't trust though. For all we know, a "source" could be a dude who empties the trash and could email Jason La Confora (who sucks).

Yup. It's like I've been telling you guys for several weeks now. The general feeling inisde Redskin Park "We all like Jason. He's a good guy and a solid QB that we can win with, but we're not sure we can win because of him. And when we have injuries, etc. like we did last season we need a QB who can carry us over those types of obstacles. We're not convinced Jason is that guy."

I can see that, certainly. I'm not totally convinced that Sanchez is that guy either though. But he definitely carries intangible qualities that Campbell seems to lack.

It's really cliche, but Sanchez has the 'look' of an NFL star QB. He's got the swagger, he's got the poise, he's polished, he went to the big time college program, played on the big stage, performed well under that pressure. Campbell, as big a fan of his as I am, always seems like the awkward kid picked by his group to speak in front of the class.

As for a pure football analysis, despite Sanchez's 'inexperience'-which I think is overblown-he's got excellent mechanics, balance and his decision making appears to be outstanding. He doesn't have the rocket but his arm is adequate to adequate-plus. He can make the necessary throws and isn't afraid to take chances when needed. I don't think he's going to have the same learning curve that a lot of rookie QB will have only because he's had experience in a pro-style offense before and if we get him, he's not coming to a terrible supporting cast around him.

I'm not supporting this move, but if we make it, get him signed and into Redskins Park immediately because our future is tied to him for at least the next 5 years. The one upside of this move is this would be a Snyder driven pick so he's going to get much more leeway than any of the previous QB we've drafted this decade.
