JMJ Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I know this is a "highlight video," and a lot of the guys he is hitting are wide open (not all, but hey, he's finding the open guy), but I'm really impressed with watching this kid play the QB position. He moves well both running and in the pocket, he throws well on the move, he steps into his throws, always keeps his eyes downfield, strong arm, accurate, etc. This looks like some real good QB play here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 He does have good escapability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untouchable Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is exactly why I love Sanchez as a pro prospect. His pocket presence is top notch. He can sidestep defenders and elude the rush. He isn't phased one bit with pressure in his face. I'm still shocked that so many are willing to pass on him in favor of Ratliff/Clemens who are both longshots to even be starters in this league, much less franchise material.

Darth Vader Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 He won't be there at 17. If he is it would be a massive heist IMO. QBs like that don't grow on trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The three best things about Sanchez, which make me like him quite a bit, are 1) His lightning fast delivery 2) His comfort playing under center and reading defenses as well as 3) His ability to move outside the pocket and throw on the run. It really would be a steal if he were there at 17, which I don't think will happen because either San Fran will take him or someone will jump to the 9 slot and grab him.

Darth Vader Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 This franchise has become disillusioned on drafting first round QBs lately. It is really the way to go peoples. If Sanchez is there, snag him. And if you don't you better hope that Ratliff is going to rip the arms out the QB competition. Cuz Clemens won't be a Jet after next year (unless he rips the arms out of the Superbowl) and Ainge is so far fetched it's absurd. And I agree - I love Sanchez's delovery and mechanics. His ball will fly nice in the meadowlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I think I'd prefer a defensive beast if available, but hopefully the GM's from 1-16 are big believers in Lewin if DV is vouching for him.. Isn't this the guy who couldn't beat out Booty last year and when he played for him was very average.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this the guy who couldn't beat out Booty last year and when he played for him was very average.. The same guy, but that doesn't take away from what he accomplished this year and his physical attributes. Keep in mind that he was only a sophmore, while JDB was coming off a pretty good 2006 season; 3347 yards while completing 62% of his passes while throwing for 29 tds and surrendering only 9 ints. That's gonna be pretty hard for a sophmore to compete with. It took almost all of the season before Matt Ryan replaced Quinton Porter during his sophmore season. That was because of Porter's poor play and not outstanding play by Ryan. The difference in conferences is not even worth mentionting. Thus, I don't think him not beating out Booty says anything about his game. He has top notch tools as well as intangibles, the only thing hurting him is his lack of experience. That having been said, if he's there, I don't think we should pass on him. I would prefer an elite WR, but you just don't pass up on a franchise QB if he's there.

slowmoe57 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Not for nothing - But if this guy is ready to be a franchise QB now why was Pete Carroll so against him declaring early for the draft - It gives me some doubt but then again I don't think he will be available and I definitly don't see us trading up for him - Just askin...

neckdemon Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 if this guy is there you have to take him. anyone saying they'd pass cause he's a junior....well i'm glad you're not our GM and i hope they don't feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in a matter of speaking Carrol was being a selfish prick - Got it AS for starting from scratch and not knowing USC bench but they usually have been replacing their starting QBs pretty well the the last 8 years or so... just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's not gonna be good, only time will tell. BUT!! He only played 16 games! With possibly the BEST college players in the nation!! That's like putting Tom Brady on the field with Randy Moss and Wes Welker! :rolleyes:I don't know man, you put him back there getting knocked around the way Favre got knocked around, could kill the kids confidence.

Stonehands Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 yeah cause aaron rodgers really sucked this year. In his 4th year in the same system, he finally pays some rewards. That's a long time to wait for a 1st rounder. Sanchez is merely one of the top QB's in this draft....in other drafts, he would be a 3rd rounder. Not worth the pick, there is better value at other positions in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I wouldn't hate if we picked Sanchez but I wouldn't be too high on it either. It really would be a wait and see situation with him before any judgements are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
