Franchise QB, franchise back...

that's what I'm expecting here, that's the price we paid, anything short of that and this is a bust, however if these two pan out ala Revis/Harris then I'm good with it, but at some point we will get burned bad with this.

Tom Jackson thinks Mark Sanchez is going to be the OROY. Everything I've heard about Sanchez is excellent. I'm pumped.

I want Super Bowl trophies. However we get there I don't care. If Sanchez is just a good QB and Shonn Greene turns into just a goalline back, but we win SBs I will love them both and everything else that is holy.

Franchise back?

Are you kidding? They trade up into the third round and you expect a franchise back? Get a clue.

Yeah, hard to "expect" a Franchise Back with a 3rd rounder (Albeit 1st pick in the 3rd).

They want him to be able to handle half a RBBC with Leon Washington in 2010. That's all I read into it.

that'd my point, if the guy is a franchise bqck then you give up everything and go get him, if he's not then it's a dumb panic move, there were plenty of backs available at our spot in the third, backs are easy to find and they start right away, like I said if Greene is not the next Bettis, this was a dumb move.

I like him a lot as a matter of fact, I think he can be special. Very composed in the pocket and there's no wasted movement with him. Makes every throw with ease, throws a tight spiral, is very intelligent, high character guy, personnable, top notch leadership skills, super nimble and athletic... I like him more and more the more I think about him. I hate the fact he cost us so much, but hey... I think he's worth it.

Thats what I am saying Im not big on the Jets trading up for Greene. People are raving that this guy should have went a lot higher so yes maybe he will be a franchise back time will tell.
