Klecko73isGod Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Wait... Really? Not really, only in terms of if he was suddenly used in a completely different way than he currently is and probably never will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Really, he's the same height as Clemens and is actually 4 pounds heavier. 6-2, 225 isn't exactly little. He's 6 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Leon Washington and I don't hear anyone worrying about Leon's durability. First of all comparisons to Clemens don't help at all. The only time that guy got extended action Richard Seymour almost broke him in half. Also, almost everyone worries about Leons ability to stay healthy. Not so much me, I think Leon could handle the load and do a great job. I also think Sanchez will be fine, but I can understand Chan's concern, he just doesn't look very big. Not to mention he played at USC where he was rarely hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Not really, only in terms of if he was suddenly used in a completely different way than he currently is and probably never will be. Well, if Leon is used in the same capacity, something that Ryan promised was not going to be the case, than he'd be getting significantly less touches than Sanchez, so the comparison falls flat, especially when you consider the fact that the main reason people seem to think Leon doesn't get more touches is that he wouldn't hold up.

Also, I'm not going to lie. pretty boys just don't strike me as tough... brady's atleast 6'5, and being 6'2 myself, I've stood next to 6'5 people and there's a pretty big difference..

SMC Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 This. Also, I'm not going to lie. pretty boys just don't strike me as tough... brady's atleast 6'5, and being 6'2 myself, I've stood next to 6'5 people and there's a pretty big difference.. Brady's official Combine measurement was 6'4 3/8" to Sanchez's 6'2 1/8" inches. So there is a 2" difference. As to the toughness, we'll just have to see.

As to the toughness, we'll just have to see. Over 2 inches and Brady didn't start until over a year in a pro weightlifting program, including the offseason period when bulk is added.

124 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I hope Sanchez has "it". So far, he's looked VERY good and has made me do a 180 on him since Draft Day. I'm excited to see what he will do over his rookie campaign, a 16 game season, taking all the snaps, with no vanilla offense and no vanilla defense. Just REAL football. Sunday we get our first taste.

SMC Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Over 2 inches and Brady didn't start until over a year using HGH and other PEDs which added bulk. If i had to guess, Sanchez looks 210-215 now Fixed. In any event, I was just pointing out the correct height difference. I don't know what he weighs, but he did weigh in at 227 at the combine. Like I said, we'll just have to see how tough he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klecko73isGod Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Joe namath didn't face lb's that were 260lbs of muscle running a 4.5 Boy, there isn't a point that can be made that doesn't fly right over your head, is there meat? The point is that size is relative. Namath looked like a big QB in his day and was brittle, damn near missing almost as many games as he played in his career. Drew Brees is listed at 6-0 209. He hasn't missed a game in five years. Tom Brady is 6-4 225. He missed all of last season. Chad Pennington is 6-3 230. Need I say more? Your boy Big Ben is 6-5 241 and he's missed more games than Brees the last five years. Sanchez has no history of injury. He has an outstanding offensive line to protect him. Your concern is completely irrational. Edited September 9, 2009 by Klecko73isGod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the fact that bigger guys get injured, some how proves to you that Sanchez won't. Ok.. Sanchez has no history of injury. He has an outstanding offensive line to protect him. Your concern is completely irrational. The dude dislocated his knee cap in practice a year ago and then hurt his knee again 2 months later. His "history" without injury consists of 16 college game where he was barely touched. Your assertion that he history dictates otherwise is irrational. Listen, I hope I'm wrong, but to suggest the concern is completely unfounded isn't realistic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't worry about it. Injuries are a part of football. As the old coach saying goes: "the best way to avoid injury is to play hard." I don't think that's gonna be a problem with this kid.

FWIW, this is violent sport and every single player that takes the field is exposing themselves to injury. I dont necessarily think just because Sanchez looks skinny, short or what have you...makes him any more susceptible to injury then anyone else in the game...especially at the QB position. You learn how to take hits. Your favorite all time player Brett Favre isnt exactly this huge Adonis and never missed a game. Its not like he's in a position where he takes on monsters all the time. He is occasionally going to get hit, its a part of the game and to go on worrying about every little hit like the guy is Chad Pennington, will be very stressful on your soul. And you dont want that CTM, stress takes years off your life and you are already a Jets fan. Edited September 9, 2009 by JiF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ben Roethlisberger is a monster who looks like he can run through a Mack truck and he gets hurt a pretty decent amount. The point is that injuries will happen.
