I've seen people make this argument and to be honest I don't buy it. Yes there are a lot of similarities but theres also a lot of differences. For starters Sanchez didn't play in the QB friendly Tedford system that Harrington was in. Sanchez instead played in a pro style system.

On top of that Carson Palmer and Matt Cassel have proven that USC knows what they're doing when it comes to coaching up QB's. Matt Leinart on the other hand would be the Cardinals starting QB if he got his head on straight. Fortunately Sanchez doesn't have the party bug, at least not as bad as Leinart does.

"Sanchez has had no off-the-field issues since (sexual assault case where charges were dropped). He is a hard worker with excellent football character. He takes his responsibility as a role model very seriously and anyone who interviews him will find him to be one of the most impressive individuals in the 2009 draft class."
