Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

[quote=freddyg12;546027]Yeah, JLC is blogging that the danny now is "smitten" w/Sanchez. This is unusual in that usually JLC has the scoop first. I started hearing the sanchez stuff from the warpath via Kiper. I don't recall JLC posting anything about sanchez, e.g. inside sources say Snyder & Vinny want to draft Sanchez.

Regardless, Kiper & now JLC are saying Sanchez. I'm sadly inclined to defer to their professionalism (which I respect in both); there must be some truth to the Danny's desire to draft Sanchez.

I'm hoping that some team in the top 10 nabs him, or that finally the FO actually fools some teams & pulls off a major trade to get more picks.[/quote]

Yeah, there's probably some truth to it i would guess. Multiple people reporting this. I didn't hear what Kiper said, but if he reporting the Skins interest than there is some truth to it. Now, the draft has got to play out. It's almost like the DS dinner w/ AH's agent or the Cutler infactuation rumors...both were just rampant speculation..cough cough.

Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

Let's put it this way. If Snyder and Cerrato decided that they want to go after Sanchez why would they tell a single other person about it?

They wouldn't.

It's just bad business revealing your hand like that. Snyder is a smart businessman.

As the de facto GM all these years not so much.

Its a subconcious cry for help and negative feedback.

We may very well be interested in Sanchez, but history shows 1) he's unlikely to be there at 13 and 2) we aren't likely to go up and get him.

I doubt it would be DS leaking this. It's most likely as innocent as JLC/Kiper talking to one of their FO friends. Kiper/JLC may have asked how the Sanchez workout went. The reply could have been that they really liked what they saw. They were really impressed.

Doesn't necessarily mean they will draft him. There is definately some interest on the skins side thought i would think.

As the de facto GM all these years not so much.[/quote]You're right that it doesn't make sense. However, they made it known that they wanted Cutler when it made no sense to, thus risking any long term future with Campbell regardless of how he does this season. In both cases, I don't know if it's something that Snyerrato did on purpose or if it was leaked, but either way it doesn't really help them unless its a bluff to try to get someone like the Jets to trade down for the pick.

Then again, this whole thing is starting to remind me of a couple of years ago when everyone thought that Snyder had a man-crush on JeMarcus Russel and that he was preparing to trade up to the top spot to get him. At that time the team just said they were doing their due diligence, which may also be the case now with Sanchez.

It's a big org., they can't hide from everybody. The skins have a poor history of trying to keep secrets. Most stuff leaks well before there is an 'official statement' on it.

I certainly questioned the reports that they would go after Haynesworth, although they did a good job of keeping that one a secret until the few days before free agency.

Since they have this rep. they are in a perfect position to put up a smoke screen (hopefully not a "cheech & chong smoke screen" as Dirtbag said!).
I hope that's the case

This & the "cheech & chong smoke screen" - LOL, Larry Michael should invite you on to Redskins Nation!

Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

Still nothing from Florio. While I hate him, he's come to signify the black cat to gloom & doom news about the Redskins. If the team is indeed going after Sanchez, he would have posted this all over his site (among other hateful stuff).

Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

I guess you can look at it a couple of ways. Either they are not happy and are wanting Sanchez if he fall to them to be the future of the team a long with Colt or Someone leaked the info in hopes it scares some of the other teams that need a QB and want Sanchez and makes them want to call DS prior to the draft in hopes of working out a deal/trade. Perhaps trading players or trading draft picks giving us more picks. I tend to lean towards the latter.

I really hope this is the case, it's just that with the whole Cutler deal, I've become very paranoid about DS' tantrums.

Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

I dont think this pick in any way would mean that Zorn is on his way out. He is the perfect west coast offense quarterback. If you watch USC you will see they run a west coast offense and Sanchez is well suited for it. Also, to anyone who thinks Campbell still deserves a chance, this will probably allow him to play this year. If he shows that he is a star then we should be able to sign him. If nothing else we could trade Sanchez if we are stuck with two superstar Quarterbacks. This way is better than the Cutler trade for Campbell lovers, because if we got Cutler JC was history for sure.

Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

At this point I'm having a hard time imagining that Campbell will re-sign with us even if we don't draft Sanchez. I think he'll play as hard and as well as he can and then he'll get the hell out of Dodge.
Basically, he'll do what what Cutler should have done - keep his mouth shut, play the best he can, and earn the right to decide where he wants to go.

Very logical approach. We could even franchise JC after the season. However, that kind of approach makes more sense for a team w/some depth & a no. of picks to play with, e.g. San Diego when they drafted Rivers & already had Brees. If neither guy looks good in 09, then you have very little trade value & you've already used 2 1st round picks on 2 qb's within 4 years.

For the skins that approach is so much more of a gamble, because they have other major needs w/few picks & little salary cap space. I know 2010 might be uncapped, but for the time being they're in a postion of really needing immediate starters from the draft.

Like I said in the other Sanchez thread. I don't see any of them available when we pick due to , to many teams needing QB's. however if we did pick him I see him sitting on the bench learning the offense atleast for the first yr. Meaning Campbell will play getting to show if he's worth another contract.

What better way to make other teams scared that your looking at a QB they want then to get involved in a QB trade talk and making sure it falls through due to a horrible offer. It screams of DS trying to make other teams believe we are not happy with JC and are looking for something else to make the other teams want to possibly give us better trade value when #13 comes up. If the other teams think we want him they would have to offer something substantial to sway us out of picking him and trading with the team so they can move up and take him. Hmmm. Sounds like DS.

I bet the talk with JC was all about this posturing and how he had to put on the act as well.
