I agree that the book isn't written on Sanchez in Philly. Maybe he implodes or reverts to what he was doing in NYJ but for a start, he had a good one. No, he wasn't the difference in the game but how did he "look"? He was making some good passes, good reads and avoided pressure. He looked good. I think that's all anyone is really saying.
I dunno man. He looked good at times and bad at times last night. How many times have you seen a Rams QB get a good shake after a 54% completion rate? Never?
I seem to remember us making Sanchez look like a world beater as well. Carolina has been playing awful so I'm not one to say that Sanchez is a great QB and then take the HUGE leap that Schotty was what was holding him back. Sanchez has always had those two or three games during a season but he comes down to earth and plays like we all have seen him play. IMO, he was the same in college and with all the hype surrounding him, he knew staying in school wasn't a good option.
Maybe this Philly offense is a great fit for Sanchez. Think about how many offensive players Chip had in Oregon that are now lighting it up in the NFL. I think that number is zero. Chip has a great offensive mind. You think Foles starts anywhere else in the NFL?
I'm not going to defend Schotty. I DO think he has done some good things here with a constantly rotating cast. But the bottom line is results and the NFL is a results business. I'd like to see some results.
But if we are keeping this thread on track and about Sanchez - Sanchez is who we thought he was. And one good game against a defense that is struggling mightily doesn't really change that. Think about it. The Panthers are allowing a staggering 67% completion rate and they don't seem to be improving. Sanchez hitting on 54% isn't exactly an example of great QB play.
