The general belief is, and I've said this before, "Hey, we all love Jason. He's a great guy. And we can win with him. We just don't know if we can win because of him"
And they still like Colt but think he's two years away at best.

Exactly. I dont know why some people argued so hard with me before that Zorn was genuine in his support for Campbell after the Cutler trade. Publically, Zorn had to support Campbell. Otherwise, they completely alienate Campbell.
This report that Zorn is pushing for Sanchez paints a very clear picture of why we pursued Cutler and why we're pursuing Sanchez now:
Zorn doesnt believe Campbell can succeed in his system.
Since we brought Zorn here, veryone who knows anything about football (paid professionals) have been saying the same thing: Campbell is a poor fit for the WCO. Even a hack like JLC was saying it from the beginning, although he spun more along the lines of "JLC is awesome, so why the heck did this stupid FO bring Zorn here? They should have kept Saunders and Williams but theyre idiots."
Like it or not, if the Skins get what they want - and by Skins, I mean Snyder, Cerrato, and most importantly, Zorn - Campbells days in Washington are DONE.
I don't know much about football compared to the paid professionals. Not to be rude, but neither do any of you. (While many of you know much more than me, your knowledge still pales in comparison to the people that are paid to do this 24/7, and who have been doing so for years). The reason I bring this up, is because of this fact:
The vast majority of the paid professionals think Sanchez is the real deal. Trent Dilfer compared him to Tom Brady and said he's the best, most ready to start QB in this draft AND the next. The only thing he's been criticized for is entering the draft this year... and its not because he's too raw to start in 2009 - its because he's losing millions of dollars because if he came out next year, he'd be the consensus #1 pick. (ok, of course he's been criticized for other aspects of his game, but no more than other prospective 1st round QBs entering the NFL).
If JLCs most recent "reporting" is correct, its possible Sanchez can be had (via a trade with the Seahawks) for no more than two first round picks (this years and next) and possibly for as low as a 1st and 3rd. Jason Campbell has failed. If he hadn't, then Zorn wouldnt be pushing for someone else. Zorn beleives in Sanchez.
Everyone has been screaming that this team needs consistency. Well, the best way for this TEAM to be consistent beyond 2009 is for Zorn to keep his job. The best way for Zorn to keep his job, and have a third year of being a head coach, is for snyder to give him the quarterback he wants, and then give him
two years to work with him. The best thing for the Redskins is to draft Mark Sanchez. The most it will cost us is two first rounders, and we'll recoup some of that by trading Campbell. This is a deal that has to get done, and if it gets done, some of you might not like it now, but when Sanchez and Zorn are taking us to the playoffs year after year, we'll all be glad the Skins made the move in 2009.
