Awesome news although it wasn't a surprise.

It's good to see when rookies get drafted, sign quickly and have the opportunity to have big roles on their teams which Sanchez has done.

We should probably calm our expectations of him though, rookie QB's aren't supposed to do what Flacco did last season let alone the real prize of last draft. Sanchez will probably have growing pains, rely heavily on the running game, and has to deal with a pretty weak WR core. I think Jones/Washington's fantasy values just skyrocketed though.

Just </= 10 interceptions and he should be solid. Just gotta try to limit the turnovers.

Yeah I hope he just manages the game makes a few plays here and there and doesn't turn the ball over. We have a solid D and running game so that should help. So pumped for this season to start.

^That's all we want, we know we're gonna win games through running and D

Saw him in person for that one drive last night, and I have to say...the kid was poised and did work. Made all the right decisions and kicked ass. His arm strength and accuracy are a sick combination, just tight spirals all day. He had two 20 plus yard passes and it was because both were just perfectly placed. He did it against a second string D, but I'll say just the way he throws is a huge step up.

Ainge officially >>>>> Clemens in my book btw...and Woodhead did EVERYTHING. He ran, received and Kick returned effectively. I realize we have three big name RB's now...but Woodhead needs to be on our depth chart.
