In the interview I did with the scouts both of them talked about how their teams prefer QBs that haven't had it easy in college, like they are hardened up already. They know how to handle pressure and adversity already. The more you watch Sanchez and Vince Young and most of the high-profile flops, the more that line of thinking makes sense.
Locker still needs to work on his accuracy from the pocket and making quicker decisions in the red zone. Claussen still forces too many balls and even though it's improved he's still not really well liked in the ND locker room. The younger guys like him so that is a good sign.
My worst fears about McCoy were on full display in the Oklahoma game.
How do you consider Sanchez a bust. Hes doing pretty well for a rookie QB and has some very solid games, along with a few bad ones. Its been only 8 games so far, and for the most part hes looked like a future stud.
Not saying he's a bust at all. I'm saying his lack of experience at playing in close games and against consistently higher level of competition really shows. I phrased the initial line poorly in lumping him with the "busts". It was a reflection on his lack of experience being similar (though he has even less than) to Alex Smith and Tim Couch and others. I actually think Sanchez is going to be great at some point, but he's got a lot of on-field maturing to do.
