Reasons for drafting Sanchez

p.s. is anyone else extremely excited (or worried) for Saturday so we can finally move on, in whatever direction that may be?

Yes. I still think this Sanchez stuff is all smoke and so I'd be happy move on to other topics of discussion. I hope that soon we are discussing how Oher or Ayers is gonna make the team better and Denver fans are talking about Sanchez.

I hope we get a linemen no matter what side of the ball at this point. The only USC guy I want is a LB!!!!!

We talk a lot about defensive prospects being less likely to bust here because the environment is good for young defensive players. Well, we're actively working to create the opposite effect for a skill position on the offense. Kelly and Thomas are way more likely to bust when there is no stability at the QB position, and Sanchez simply isn't going to succeed where Campbell failed.

Here's the thing: whatever is good with Sanchez' developmental curve won't matter because it's not like we're all going to be patient with him all of a sudden. Matt Ryan was successful as a rookie because the Falcons spent years, and years trying to put an offense around Vick, and you got Chris Redman in there, and Redman enjoyed some success, and Ryan just happened to be a lot better than Redman.

But the pieces were already in place: two young receivers, a young-improving OL, and a new-refreshing coaching staff. I realize Kelly and Thomas could help with a guy like Sanchez, but they need all the help they can get right now themselves. Sorry, this move has like a 0% chance of success if we pull it off.

Hell is freezing over. I agee with Gtripp!!!!!!!! I am with you here bud!!!!

You are right on. This year is a bad qb year and next year looks different.

Apart from Sam Bradford, what other college QBs are coming in next year?

Sorry, off topic question, but can someone tell me what time the draft starts tomorrow? Samoa is 7 hrs behind eastern time so I hope it does not start @ 12.00pm noon or I will have to get up at 5.00am to catch it live.
