Sanchez injury - Good thing/Bad thing

[JohnnyLV]

I truly dislike Sanchez and think he needs to sit, but in my view anyone voting for "good thing" is an a$$hole. Something "good" may come from it, but a serious injury to any player is never ever a good thing.

This can be a good thing, not that I want Mark hurt. The Team can go total rebud mode with the media also. Q.B lost for the year, Rookie Q.B etc.

Bledsoe injury---Good thing/Bad thing???

This was I was going to use as an example to the "how can an injury be a good thing ever?" type comments.

Sanchez is not on death's door and it seems unlikely this is career-threatening. So with that out of the way, the question is whether or not this is a good thing.

I'd say it depends. If they use this as an opportunity to bring in a veteran 10x more useless than Sanchez behind center then it is bad. If they use it as an opportunity to truly see what they have with guys who would never get a real shot, as well as a more extended look at Geno, then it COULD be good (if any of them pan out, of course).

But if you were a Patriots fan in 2001, Bledsoe getting injured was CLEARLY a good thing. Ditto Trent Green on the '99 Rams.
