Reasons for drafting Sanchez

[Paintrain]

It's really cliche, but Sanchez has the 'look' of an NFL star QB. He's got the swagger, he's got the poise, he's polished, he went to the big time college program, played on the big stage, performed well under that pressure. Campbell, as big a fan of his as I am, always seems like the awkward kid picked by his group to speak in front of the class.

As for a pure football analysis, despite Sanchez's 'inexperience'-which I think is overblown-he's got excellent mechanics, balance and his decision making appears to be outstanding. He doesn't have the rocket but his arm is adequate to adequate-plus. He can make the necessary throws and isn't afraid to take chances when needed. I don't think he's going to have the same learning curve that a lot of rookie QB will have only because he's had experience in a pro-style offense before and if we get him, he's not coming to a terrible supporting cast around him.

I'm not supporting this move, but if we make it, get him signed and into Redskins Park immediately because our future is tied to him for at least the next 5 years. The one upside of this move is this would be a Snyder driven pick so he's going to get much more leeway than any of the previous QB we've drafted this decade.
