At the 2009 NFL Draft I met and was impressed with both USC's Mark Sanchez, and Georgia's Matt Stafford. Now Stafford was selected by the Detroit Lions as the first pick in the 1st round and at the top of many draft charts; Sanchez was projected by some to go as low as the 2nd round of the draft but he was chosen in the 1st round as the fifth pick by the New York Jets. Here's my interviews with both Mark Sanchez and Matt Stafford:

Since they were picked, both experienced the shock and dream-come-true at the same time of being named the starting quarterback. But even in preseason it was obvious Mark Sanchez was something special, playing with cool, confidence, and poise, even when the vaunted Baltimore Ravens defense gave him a challenge he's not going to forget.

As the NY Jets' regular season starter, Mark Sanchez has thrown for 4 touchdowns, 2 interceptions and 606 yards for an 87.7 passer rating.

By contrast Matt Stafford has thrown for 598 yards, 2 touchdowns and 5 interceptions for a passer rating of 57.

Ok. So, who's better? Well, Sanchez because of his passer rating, right? Well, hold on. They play in different systems and the Jets defense is much better than that for the Lions. But Stafford and the Lions are getting better: Stafford posted an 87 passer rating in the win against the Washington Redskins last Sunday, with 241 yards and one touchdown.

Will this position hold? Is Sanchez just the better of the two, or will Stafford settle in, be the beneficiary of better play calling, and catch up to Sanchez? You decide below, in a poll that will be ran through the rest of the season.
