How well did he do once that defense didn't perform as well as it used to?  The Jets stunk.  He stunk in Denver, Philly and Dallas.

I thought about Sanchez in relation to what I said, but I think after looking at things, it was painfully obvious that he was just a placeholder on that team.  That being said, if you want to consider him successful based on those 2 years, I wouldn't completely dismiss the argument.  I guess I would change my original thought to no QB has come out with that level of experience and had sustained success and been considered a franchise QB.

By no means was I meaning to say I thought Sanchez was a good selection in the top 10 (or first round at all). But clearly some team thought he was, and he helped a team advance in the playoffs. While he wasn't the reason for getting that far, he also played well enough to get them there. There will be teams that think a guy like Sanchez or Alex Smith can get them into the playoffs. Whether that's the Super Bowl or not is another story.

If you're a team like the Texans or Broncos, a player like Trubisky likely isn't for you. It's pretty much conference championship game or bust. A single playoff win means nothing.
But if you're a really struggling team like the 49ers or Browns, Trubisky may seem worth it to reach your goals. Anything is better than the basement.
