I wouldn't break anything in my house if we took Mark Sanchez

Disclaimer: I am not saying if it were up to me I would take a QB at 10, because I'd prefer we didn't. I'm just saying that I wouldn't freak out about it. While it isn't going to be a huge help this year, I could get used to seeing him in our new (hopefully cherry red) uniform for years to come under coach Sing.

1. I think he needs more experience, but I feel that Mark Sanchez is really good. better than Stafford. Let him sit and learn for a year.

2. We have a lot of holes to fill and we won't fill them all this year. I am excited as anyone about Singletary and how he has turned this team around. However, I think everyone is getting a little ahead of themselves. This team + Everette Brown instead of Parys Harrelson is not necessarily going to be the difference in not making the playoffs or winning the Super Bowl. We can still address other needs in the Draft. I think it is going to be a 2 year process any way.

3. Trades. This is all secondary. Maybe if we take him, and both top QBs are gone, somebody lower in the 1st is willing to trade their 1rd and another pick for him. As in, they wanted him and thought he would fall to them, but taking him at 10 forces their hand. Or maybe the Bucs or someone else trades a 3rd rounder for Smith.

So before everyone freaks out, let me reiterate that I'm not in favor of picking a QB at #10, but I'm not the GM, owner or HC so it's not really up to me. If that's what they do I can get behind them on it. It wouldn't be indefensible.

Beware Designer QB

Flourished against teams like Penn State that don’t know the blueprint to slow down Carroll’s offense.
Arizona in recent years have give the Carroll boys trouble, this year being no different.
Sanchez was 21/36 that game with 216 yards 1 TD 1 INT
In 2007 Sanchez was 19/31 threw for only 130 yards 1 TD 2 INT
Against Stanford
John David Booty threw 4 interceptions(Stanford ended up winning this game)
In 2008 the game against Stanford was close until USC dominated them in the 4th quarter)
Sanchez was 11/17 this game 2 TD No picks only 136 yards (50 of those yards coming off a Deep pass)

Title Edit:I would break everything in my house if we took Mark Sanchez

I understand you don’t approve of the move, and its not like we are getting a really crappy player, I just believe that if we truely believed that a QB is a need, then wait til next year where the draft will be long on very skilled QB’s, most more skilled than either Sanchez or Stafford.

Blind devotion.

I agree, if we do need a QB then we should just wait till next year. Hill is a good QB for the present. Our O-line should be our top priority

Exactly!

Think about this…how would Stafford or Sanchez rank if they were part of next year’s draft? Not the top 2. Besides, by taking a QB that high they would basically be giving up on Alex Smith and I don’t think they are ready to do that. In fact, I think McCloughan and Sing both still believe that Smith will be the franchise QB.

If the team takes a QB...

and keeps changing over OC’s every year, that QB WILL be the next Alex Smith. I feel bad for Smith. How could he succeed? (Really, I don’t feel that bad for him. He’s an NFL QB, filthy rich and has a hot wife. Life could be worse)

Never forget Bill Walsh.

I like Sanchez, I think he is going to be a great great pro...

probowl quality. BUT we have other needs

It was "mascot night" at the Rose Garden, which apparently translates to a dozen inflatable versions of various NBA mascots being chased around the arena by Portland's "Blaze", which is some breed of rapist dog. -PostingandToasting

There really isn’t a bigger need than a pro-bowl quality quarterback when you don’t have one, though. I think if anybody thinks that Sanchez is likely to fulfill that destiny, they would be crazy not to want to draft him.

I don’t want Sanchez because I don’t think he will be one. Or, at least, to be more fair, I think the chances are stacked pretty heavily against him.
