|
| Professional Scouting Report | Philip Rivers sans the lengthy experience, though Sanchez is much more agile. Matt Hasselbeck with a higher ceiling.
|
| Strengths | Big, strong-armed athlete with sound fundamentals. Throws a beautiful, catchable ball all over the field. Strong legs, both as a base for throwing and in absorbing lower-body contact, not easy to sack. Shows a good awareness of his receivers' tendencies and where they like to catch the ball. Charismatic leader who recognizes different teammates have different buttons to push. Showed steady improvement once he earned the starting nod, learns quickly. Fought off challenges for his job from some talented competition, so he has determination and a competitive spirit. Surveys the field well, quickly and correctly identifying the best matchups against the coverage adeptly. Has experience commanding a huddle full of NFL-caliber talent. Good touch on short and mid-range throws, and his accuracy fits with West Coast offense systems. Quick, fluid release with a strong wrist snap. Very good at buying time with his legs and keeping his eyes downfield. Faster than he looks, can chew up some yards running outside the pocket. Very confident, mature person who is mentally prepared to handle the inevitable failures just as well as the successes in the NFL. His Trojans coach Pete Carroll is a former NFL coach and Carroll is on record that he believes Sanchez will be a better pro than Carson Palmer, and that carries weight.
