I find it funny how the NYJ can trade a bunch of players and picks to move up to number 5 to get Mark Sanchez, a guy with only 16 starts and the whole world applauds them on draft day. We stay put at number 8, get a solid QB with 19 starts and whose head coach is our OC and is familiar with our system and we're looked at as being desperate.
Now you'll say "16 starts for USC is way more difficult than 19 with Texas A&M" and with that, I challenge you to name a starting franchise QB that came from USC. Carson Palmer? Matt Cassel? My assel. USC is a powderpuff program that is all glitz and no guts.
The bottom line comes down to perception. The Jets made a great move because people wanted to say it was a great move. The dolphins are desperate because that's the narrative that's been created for us (and by us) for the last decade.
Only our wins and losses columns for the next few years will truly determine the value of this pick. Until then, haters gonna hate. But if Tanny's greatest knock is his experience in number of starts, I would simply point to Sanchez and ask "Then why the hell was that such a great pick?"
