From the little I know about Sanchez he appears to be more of a true gunslinger and definitely a more vocal leader. It looks like he throws on the run pretty well, he doesn't have a cannon arm but he looks like he can certainly make all the throws, and he's played in a pro style offense at USC. Experts say he has sound mechanics and fundamentals and is very coachable. Plus he's very accurate and makes good decisions.

What are your thoughts?

You have a comment under your name saying "f it draft sanchez". You're not in favor of it?

I LOVE his infectious attitude. He's always happy and willing to get others pumped up to play. Of course, this is great in college, but doubt it works that well in the pros. Still a great attitude will do well no matter what. He has the best attitude I have seen through all the qbs available. He would CERTAINLY become the face of the Redskins.

I've accepted it seems inevitable, I'm just saying F it, put us out of our misery already. It's not like we have any control.

Well, we said the same thing about Cutler - that it was inevitable. I think we both made comments along the lines of, "get used to him, because it's going to happen."

I honestly think he's going to Seattle at #4, and I don't think we have as much ammo to make a move as teams like the Jets and Bucs.

If I had to make a prediction I'd say we stay at #13, and end up picking one of the big 4 tackles or the best LB or DE available.

If we stay at #13 and Orapko is gone I'd expect us to trade down, maybe twice (Jets or Bucs for Freeman at #13 and once more into the late 1st). Imagine the outcry from the fans if we actually accumulate picks!!!

This would make my day - assuming we draft a good T along with Mack..

I like getting extra picks and all, but I haven't seen much reason to trust our talent evaluation later on, though the 13th pick really isn't a strong position, whoever we could get there we could probably get at 18 or 19, or someone just as good, the first round talent just isn't that deep it seems and really drops off around our pick, save maybe the USC LBs but who knows. We've only pulled a couple guys in the 2nd and mid rounds worth much of a mention.

Speed, leadership, college system, football IQ, accuracy, fire. I love Campbell's class. It's just that class doesn't fire up your teammates in the 4th quarter with the game on the line.

Very true. But we certainly act like it with all these threads.

The only reason for drafting him that I can think of is, he is supposedly well suited for Zorns type of offense. Goes through his reads well, throws on the run well etc. I just wonder if he hasn't done as good a job of marketing himself as Brian Bosworth and Tony Mandarich. He hasn't done that much really and there seems to be more hype on potential than substance.

Wasn't Matt Lienart more celebrated coming out USC and he sucks. I just don't want t have to start all over at QB and have gaping holes in other areas. This is a mess.

Ok why dont we just trade for the other USC QB in Arizona then. LOL

The Goat · 04-24-2009, 12:16 PM

I don't think it has anything to do w/ Sanchez per se...i mean Snyder's behavior here. Snyder went coo-coo for cutler, a very different kind of QB from Sanchez, and when that didn't work he just moved on the new sweatheart. This is about Snyder not wanting JC IMO, not about what Sanchez or whoever else brings to the table.

...so i guess my point is it's only silly speculation what reasons there are to drafting Sanchez, because it doesn't appear to have anything to do w/ him in the first place.

So much of this Sanchez talk is almost identical to five years ago...Why are we giving up draft picks for Campbell when we've already got Ramsey? If Campbell is gone, as a Redskins fan I can only hope he finds the same success in the league as Ramsey has.

Good point, I hadn't even thought of that.
