Reasons for drafting Sanchez

I think this gets overblown. These guys are professionals and they know it's a business. They aren't going to sabotage themselves and their careers because they have some sort of irrational devotion to one player.

I don't know that they revolt, but if they feel Campbell wasn't treated right (and if this really happens - he wasn't), and Sanchez comes in and mucks it up (as he very probably would), then the locker room could implode. Tempers became short at the end of the season, and if we do nothing but get Sanchez, and Portis finds the line breaking down again, yes it could end up going bad.
Mainly, because we did not NEED to do this this year.

edit: really I just vented because of the irrationality of going after him this year over obvious needs.

Poor JC. He has so many impatient haters.

Just what does everyone think of Sanchez now?

^ Although he has a bright future, I'm still glad that we didn't get him. We would have given up too much in terms of players/picks to move up and we would not have gotten Orakpo.

He's on a team with a pro bowl offensive line, a great running game, very good wideouts, and has a true top 5 defense. Of course he's going to be successful. In here he would have turn into the next David Carr. So let's drop this stupid argument.

There you go. Any questions?

If we had an offensive line and a decent wideout corp I would've loved to have drafted him. Honestly, if he had been here it would've been a waste.

Exactly. People may scream that he would have been a great pick up for us, but he's playing mediocre football right now. And that's after the Jets used a couple of first rounders and big money free agent dollars making that Oline the beast it is.

The kid is blessed to have two vital elements essential to being successful, he has a good defense and a good running game. Just the average QB will take thse two anytime. It's not often a rookie QB will get to the championship game, my hat's off to Sanchez and the Jets. "Good Luck!!" in Indy next week.

How about that OL? If only we could have a line like that, they led the NFL in rushing all year.

Apparently having a Pro Bowl tackle, guard, and center is not a big deal

...then again we are Redskins fans

[Dirtbag59]

It reminds me a lot of Michael Vick. Personally Michael Vick got way to much credit for being at the right place at the right time. With that said I think it's safe to say that I gave Vick the benefit of the doubt for a while so I'll easily do the same thing for Sanchez. In the future though Sanchez is going to need to play a lot better week in and week out. I think he can do it, certainly the pieces are around him to do so but only time will tell.

You're on point dude, that O-line is what makes that running game go. Hope we're taking note and can eventually develop a line like that we can call our own.

Best offensive line in the NFL, best running game, #1-ranked defense...these things can make ANY bad QB look great. Look at his pathetic stats. 20 INTs was second only to Jay Cutler. He had only 12 TD passes. His meager 162 yds/gm was near the bottom from starting QBs, ranked just behind the RAMS' Marc Bulger and just ahead of the benched 49ers QB Shaun Hill. Even the Tampa Bay QBs (Leftwich/Johnson) were way ahead of him in that category. How do the Jets win with such a bad QB? Simple, they don't rely on him and run as much as possible to avoid putting him in situations to fail.

The Jets have FOUR 1st-round draft picks on their offensive line. It shows.

If he had been our QB, he would have far out-mistaked Cutler with probably 35 INTs, IF and this is a BIG IF...he had survived to play all season with our offensive line, or lack thereof. We would have been a 1- or 2-win team...maybe, if we had Sanchez all year (and Collins seeing action when Mark is in the hospital).
