It is rare to have a veteran quarterback of five years from buryw's blog

Any condemnation of Sanchez's career is also hindered due to his rebirth in Philadelphia. In the four games he has played for the Eagles since Nick Foles broke his collarbone, Sanchez has completed 62.3 percent of his passes which includes six interceptions and Madden 23 ltds for sale seven touchdowns. He has thrown over 300 yards in each of his three appearances, and when he faced the Panthers in the playoffs, he threw more than 265 yards with no incident for the first time ever in his professional career. In the end, he's performed ... pretty good. It's a testament to coaches: yet another feather to Chip Kelly's cap, and sufficient reason for Brian Schottenheimer to never hold any other coaching position in professional football.


It is rare to have a veteran quarterback of five years who isn't well-known, but that's the nature of Jets' issues. Mark Sanchez may yet prove to be more than just adequate maybe even excellent. He is, for now, the only survivor and that is enough.


The threads of narrative that connect Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, as well as Mark Sanchez are privilege and talent. All three went to the high school of Orange County and were highly-sought players who started with Pete Carroll at USC. Three of them were among the top ten picks from the Madden NFL 23 Draft.


The only place they diverge and become intertwined -- is injury and the consequent hardships of Madden NFL 23. Madden NFL 23. Palmer was twice injured and suffered ACL tears that were catastrophic. Leinart's last game in his debut in Madden NFL 23 was replacing an injured Palmer for the Raiders in 2012. And Sanchez was unable to play for the Raiders last year because of a shoulder injury but is now given a second chance at a new team because of his broken clavicle - the same injury that killed Leinart's first chance. Sanchez may yet replace Palmer on the Cardinals starter, in order to finish the ouroboros.


In a moderately objective evaluation Palmer's decades of experience in playing as a quarterback elevates his Trojan trio up to "almost average," while the news generated by the younger two will provide a foundation of entertainment. In the end, however, I can't recommend a USC quarterback for your pro team, or unless the only other option is an Notre Dame alumnus.


Jim Harbaugh told me that 28 years ago, he and I had an interview one-onone with him at Bicycle Jim's Restaurant in Ann Arbor. He was at Michigan and I was covering the team for the Detroit Free Press and MUT 23 ltds we were both captivated by the charisma and awe of Bo Schembechler, then Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler.
