I don't see how you can actually watch Cutler and Campbell play and think theyre equal. Theyre most certainly not. And Josh McDaniels, a guy who coached the best QB in the league, a guy who knows more about QBs than anyone here wanted Kyle Orton over Jason Campbell. If that's not damning for Campbell, then I dont know what is.
As to Sanchez, the Jets have far less talent on Offense than we do. That, combined with the fact that he's a rookie, makes his performance that more impressive. I'm impressed when i watch him and I respect Trent Diflers opinion on QBs and he's very high on Sanchez. In 5 years, or whenever Manning and Brady retire, Sanchez will be one of the top 3 QBs in the league. No, we were not in a position to draft him, but we should have tried harder to put ourselves in a position to be. Now we're gonna be stuck drafting one of the overrated QBs in the 2010 draft.

Even if that player talks bullshit every time he opens his mouth? Or, wait, let me guess, you didn't pay attention to Rodney Harrison before you heard he said this.
Fine, they're not equal. Campbell is a lot better this year. Or so the statistics say. Ridiculousness of the Kyle Orton fiasco aside, the guy (Orton) is badly outproducing Cutler this year. And well, since he's only completing 57% of his passes, no, that probably won't last.
It's not true to say that Sanchez doesn't have as much talent on offense as we do. Sanchez is playing behind the best, or second best OL in the AFC. That's a huge advanage over our line which lost our most veteran interior lineman a week ago. They have the best center in the league, we have one of the worst. In fact, the only position we are actually better at is LT.
The receivers are pretty comprable (Cotchery > Moss, Kelly > Stuckey, ARE > Clowney, Cooley > Keller, and all those matchups are pretty close), but don't you look longingly at that running game and wish you could get a piece of it?
Sanchez is working with more than either Cutler or Campbell, and now that Cutler has no OL, he's got a career high sack rate and 5 INT in 3 games. In many ways his early development was a complete product of the offensive environment in Denver, and he might be 3 years away from being a pro bowl QB for the Bears. I wonder if they will have the patience to wait him out :yeahright.
Your ability to selectively defer to the knowledge of only those who agree with you never ceases to amaze.
