Lotus:

I have to disagree with your analysis of Scenario 1. IF - I said IF - Sanchez is/becomes a great QB, then this move would ultimately be a brilliant move. When Peyton Manning joined the Colts, they had more holes in that squad than the current Skins do. But over time, the team became a perennial playoff team because they had a GREAT QB.

So the issue is whether or not Sanchez will be a great QB - - because that is the only way that Scenario 1 makes even a shred of sense.

For the record, I would not make that deal. I think Sanchez excelled in a program where just about every player on the USC side of the ball was better than the guy who lined up against him in the "other colored jersey". It would be difficult for a QB not to look good under those circumstances.
