So I don't have ten replies and can't start a thread, but is there any way the people who really believe in Jason Campbell as the future of the franchise can get together and somehow protest a potential Sanchez trade/show JC our support? I'm not really good with website design but would be happy to produce content. The way the front office is handling this situation is absurd, and before we piss away two more draft picks, perhaps we can rally broad fan opposition to this as well as show Jason Campbell that Snyder may not believe in him, but we do. Seems like a winner on both fronts.

This won't work unfortunately, since there are people here that write hundreds of words against Campbell all the time. People get pissed off that we spend money on Haynesworth and wasted picks for Jason Taylor, but were very willing to give up two first rounds for Jay Cutler.

People are assuming Sanchez would play the first year, even if he was drafted he wouldn't play. And how could Sanchez be rated better then Colt, he only played 16 games.

One went to USC and the other didn't, that's the media's point but is that a serious question??

Yes a very serious question. The only reason Sanchez is so high in the draft is because he is the second best QB to come out(and lately great interview, good pro day), not because he is a better valued player then the OT's, LB's, RB's he will get picked over.

How can you say that if none of them have played a down in the NFL yet???

None of the players are a given, but its been proven over the past 40 years that Line positions are less of a risk in the draft. Of course Sanchez could go on to be a great quarterback. We all know if he gos 2nd or 4th or even 13th, its because there werent many QBs available and not because he was considered the best football player available at that spot.

Yes line is a "lesser" risk but just as equal failure (see Robert Gallery) This isn't 83 there's hardly ever "many" QB's available and people were saying that Jay Culter should not have gone as high as he did but once again, Sanchez is not a better situation than Campbell.

Because Colt played in a video game system, played mostly against second rate competition, has poor NFL mechanics, is small and light.... Need I go on?

And Sanchez played with tremendous talent around him, never was pressured, and threw to wide open receivers. So while im not saying Colt is the greatest, i don't see how sanchez would be viewed that much better. Having a great Proday should not move you up this much in the draft.

Trust me, I'm no Sanchez supporter and am sickened we're even considering a QB with all of our other needs but (sorry for using a Cowboys reference fellas) but we're talking Troy Aikman/Steve Walsh here. One is just flat out superior in every way.

I probably didn't make myself clear, i think picking Sanchez at 13 is a mistake. I don't want him at all. So if were so concerned bout getting starters out of our first two picks we don't pick up a overhyped backup quarterback.
