I am reading various reports that Mark Sanchez will declare for the NFL draft.
The one most prominent is from Chris Mortensen from ESPN (via The Press Enterprise)
Just reported by ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen: according to sources close to Mark Sanchez and USC, the junior quarterback will announce on deadline day Thursday that he's giving up his senior season and filing the papers to enter the NFL Draft.
Mortensen also reports that Pate Carroll is returning from Hawaii tomorrow and that Sanchez' family is not necessarily in favor of the move.
Now that last paragragh is interesting.
I am not to sure how reliable the family connection is but if it does hold water I have a hard time seeing Sanchez going against his family's wishes. I said last week that I thought the time to go was now but that I thought he would stay. Sam Bradford deciding to stay at OU really shouldn't matter in the decision becuse I see them both as different QB's with more upside to Sanchez because he plays in a pro style offense while Bradford plays ina more gimmicky type offense.
If he stays...Great! If not we wish him all the best and thank him for a great season. We'll see howit goes...

If he goes so be it!
This will give the other QBs a chance, I mean Marc is good and all that but I really didn’t feel that he took over games. The rose bowl was good but so was Bootys, so now it comes down to Barkley, Green, Corp, and Razorback boy.

just my two cents but I'd think it would be awesome if Barkley could come in next year and just dominate for the next 3 years and become the next great SC QB..
root for the young gun.

I'd be surprised if Sanchez drops below #3
The Lions are going to go QB at #1 and I think the Chiefs will also take a QB at #3. Stafford and Sanchez are clearly the 2 best QB’s in the draft so IMO, Sanchez won’t get past the Chiefs.

Wow! you guys are much more classy than Pete Carroll
both on his website and at the press conference he’s done nothing but talk down his likelihood of success in the NFL.
"when you've seen how big the world is, how can you make due with this?"

He just wants Mark to gain more experience
and experience=more $$$
Updated from Wolf’s blog UPDATED: Carroll did sit at the table at the outset but said tonight he wanted to stand at a podium but none was provided by USC officials, so that’s why he stood and appeared frustrated.
Don’t slander Pete he is an energetic and charismatic man and the cream of the crop of football coaching.

More experience doesn't equal more money
At least not in this case IMO. I think Sanchez will definitely be a top 5 pick, most likely top 3. In that case, there’s not much more money to be made. Sanchez would earn a couple hundred thousand more next year, but that’s just because each year the players get a little more money than the year before. If Sanchez is going to be a top 3 pick, he’ll get $60-70 million. In fact, with Bradford and McCoy coming out next year, Sanchez could earn less money next year because he could be the 3rd quarterback taken as opposed to this year when he’ll be the 1st or 2nd in all likelihood.

Just to let you know if your DC would have made Marc throw into the middle game would have been close.
Marc is not a complete QB a very good one but not complete, and thats why Pete said what he said.

Hmm...
surprising coming from you as I have seen a number things that you have written else where you have disparaged us and lumped us all into one group.
Frankly I like Carroll’s candor. I think PC’s background and experience shows he knows what he is talking about. If Sanchez chose ignore Carroll’s advice that’s his call. Not a whole lot of coaches in D-1 have his track record at getting guys into the NFL.
So maybe PC was disappointed and let emotions get the best of him…it happens to EVERYONE at some point life.
I love the mock outrage over there…get out of the ivory tower much?
