6. I like Mark Sanchez in Denver, so back off…

If you don’t like Mark Sanchez, screw you!

Just kidding. But seriously, you might need to chill out. I was pretty upset the day the Broncos traded for Sanchez, I won’t lie. I was saying that they needed to make another move for a QB that very same day so I didn’t have to go to sleep thinking that Sanchez would be the starting QB of this team even for a moment.

That did not excite me at all.

But the more I thought about it, the more intrigued I became by the prospect of Sanchez, who has played in multiple AFC Championship games and has won four road playoff games in his career, and the fact that he’s still just 29 and cost the Broncos merely a conditional 7th round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

I mean, what’s really wrong with that?

There’s no way that Sanchez is the ‘end game’ at QB for the Broncos. There will be additional competition. The Broncos have the opportunity to either sign, trade, or draft more quarterbacks. As John Elway said, Sanchez is the ‘first step’ in the process.

So get over it.
