Ok, I finally got to watch the whole Pete Carroll/ Mark Sanchez press conference.
And I must say, I have a VERY strong opinion about it......
First off, Screw Pete Carroll! I just lost all of my respect for someone who I valued pretty highly in the college coaching world. Not any more. You NEVER throw your kids under the bus the way he did. What a jerk-off! I realize Pete's entitled to his opinion as we all are, but to verbally bash a former student/player is just wrong. In addition, by Pete publicly criticizing Sanchez he just cost him money in his future profession. After all, if your college coach doesn't think you're ready for the NFL, why would an NFL front office want to pay you like you are?
IMO, Sanchez made the right decision. Here's why....
1) Two blue-chip underclass QB's (McCoy, Bradford) are returning to school next year. This means less competition in the draft.
2) There are some draft guru's who have projected Sanchez either the #1 or #2 available QB in this years draft class.
3) He supposedly spoke with Matt Leinart, and financially speaking one would assume Leinart was less than enthusiastic in the hindsight of his decision to return, and the projected subsequent $30 million it might have cost him.
Personally, I'm just shocked that no one in the media is questioning Carroll and his royally snotty treatment of Mark Sanchez.
