Mark Sanchez at 13th?

[Ruhskins]

Are you starting this thread because Mike Florio put it in one of his "one-liners" or is it because the other thread about Mark Sanchez working out for the Redskins wasn't enough?

[The Goat]

sure... as trade bait.

[53Fan]

Nah, I don't think so.

[Eknox]

No thanks

:smashfrea
just one question, why?

[70Chip]

Well it's high time we had SOMEBODY named Sanchez on the team.

Didn't Pete Carroll say he wasn't even ready to come out? Or is that just thought of as a coach trying to keep his player?

Both. Carroll used objective evidence to show Sanchez that he was making the wrong decision. Reportedly, even Sanchez' parents feel he probably should have had another year. Sanchez is pretty much alone in trying to cash in.

That's the reason I suggested last year to avoid DT, guy wants a payday first, a strong career second. Sanchez, flat out, came out because he felt he could be a first round draft pick in a "weak class". If any team spends a first round pick on him, they've 1) proved him right, and 2) deserve what they have coming.

I remember Carroll being pretty adamant about it. I personally want nothing to do with him and don't expect much more than a backup out of him. Supposedly he reads the field pretty well but forces things at times resulting in TO's. I think a lot of QB's could have done well with that team.

Well, he completed 64% of his college passes to Staffords 58.something%. In that respect he's a better prospect. Except that, over one single season of data, who cares? That 64% is meaningless without large sample context. Then there's the talent bubble that is U.S.C.

This guy had a really good comp% in college, you know, he of the 57.3% NFL figure.

Vince Young Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com

If this guy (of 54.2% fame) had been able to declare after his Sophomore year, he would have been viewed very differently as a prospect, that's for sure:

Rex Grossman Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com

So basically, guys need to be good, but they also need to do it in a large sample.

I love watching Matt Stafford throw balls down the sideline, but if he only completes 58% of his passes, well, I know as an NFL GM, I can do better. In Sanchez' case, well, you probably had a better offense at USC then you'll have in the NFL, so I'm gambling a ton on that adjustment.

Yeah, 65.6%. Not bad. I guess he should have pulled a Sanchez and came out then. Of course whoever drafted him high would still be kicking themselves today. Edit: I just saw he was the 22nd overall pick by the Bears.

I thought taking a break from the site would get rid of all the dumb posts. Guess nothing has changed in 2009

Thanks for killing my glimmer of hope. Everything is the same down here, except the global recession hits third world countries like Jamaica pretty bad, so everyone is pretty much suffering.
