Sanchez will fail in the NFL. His predocessors were better than him and are currently not doing so well, save for maybe Carson (whi is currently injured). Cassell had a great year, but can he repeat?
Sanchez has been there for 4 years and realizes that his defense won't be what it was last year. He also would have had a new Offensive Coordinator at SC and lose 2 of his best receivers in Patrick Turner(draft) and Vidal Hazleton(transfer). That left only two receivers with any significant playing time. He leaves now and goes anywhere from 1-10. With Bradford deciding to stay, it was a no brainer for Sanchez to leave. Stafford has the better arm but I can guarantee you that Sanchez will have the better workouts for the NFL. Also, I think that Bradford staying says a whole lot about where his head's at and what his motives are. He's always dreamed of playing at Oklahoma and with damn near his whole offense coming back next year, has a chance to win another Heisman and maybe a national championship. Sure he left about 50 million on the table, but I can't knock him for wanting to stay in school.
