Broncos acquire Mark Sanchez from Philly

[NWPATSFAN]

Name me 29 QB's in the NFL that are better than Sanchez.

Almost every other starter. Why do I need to list them? Much easier to list 10 he's better than.
1. Josh McCown
2. Brian Hoyer maybe?
3. Ok I'm out

Improvement at the QB position though isn't like this impossible task for the Broncos. Broncos probably won the Super Bowl with statistically the worst QB play of any Super Bowl in history. We were 31st in QB Rating combined of all players that played (Osweiler/Manning combined). So when I say things like even average QB play can win with this defense what I am saying is improvement at the QB position can win with this defense.

Yes I know all too well how quickly an offense or defense can go from great to bad. I mean look at the Broncos offense in 2013 being the best offense in NFL history to this past year bottom-10. Osweiler was a part of that offense being bottom-10. While I do think he showed some promise I also understand he still had some major struggles and some major red flags in his game that made it impossible to even come close to paying him what the Texans offered. Again I just think the Broncos can find an average QB that can win with the core of the team still intact for the Broncos.

So why in the hell were you arguing with me a couple weeks ago when the Eagles extended Bradford?

I'd hope a backup QB that Denver got to be a backup QB isn't better than any current starting QB's otherwise that's just sad.

You forget Mallett, McCarron, Taylor, Austin Davis, Keller Moore, Blake Bortles, Blaine Gabbert, RGIII and Zach Mettenberger.

IMO, Sanchez is a better QB than at least 10 NFL starting QBs.

You need to list them, because you said "Sanchez barely cracks the top 30. "

Sanchez is a bus driver QB if that IMHO

A "Bus driver" doesn't turn the ball over at the rate Sanchez does. it's not just Ints it is fumbles too. Throw in that he is one of the most inaccurate QBs in the league and he just sucks. You don't get a possible starting QB for a conditional 2017 7th round pick and making 25% of what still unproven guys like Osweiller and Cousins are getting. The amount of people in this thread not seeing that is mind boggling to me. Admittedly it Could just be me i of course, but I think I have seen enough of Sanchez's actual play to think I'll end up right on this one when all is said and done. Also don't think he will be starting in Denver anyway.

Where did Sanchez go to college?

Most of them you listed, likely all but I didn't look them up started less than 8 games. I don't consider them starters. Having said that I'd take Mallett, Taylor, Bortles Gabbert and Zack over Sanchize. Not that I would want to be stuck with those as my only choices for a starter on my team.

I'm not making a 30 name list, but Sanchez is not even close to the top 30 QBs in this league IMO. I don't think he is in the top 40. But, I've made my opinion on him pretty obvious in this thread, so I guess that shouldn't be a surprise to hear me say that

Before sucking in the pros, he sucked at USC...Well, for like half a season...

Fair enough. I don't think Elway has plans to have Sanchez as his starting QB.

I can respect your opinion.

MJ, you know where Sanchez went to college. Don't go dumb on me.

I wonder if your fandom of USC is coloring your lofty opinion of him..?

No way

Not really. Sanchez was a 1st round draft pick and went to the AFC Championship game his first two years. Those facts don't stand in my way.

I hope this is not true.

It is.

Good list, but I see Sanchez in the 18/20 range. Besides Elway doesn't plan to start Sanchez, unless he can't find another QB. Denver will pick up a QB in the draft.
