Sanchez is 'undecided' on NFL

Mark Sanchez has less than 48 hours to decide his NFL future, but he still doesn’t know whether he will leave USC or stay to try to win a collegiate national championship.

After playing his best game in the Rose Bowl the decision probably got a little bit harder than he first thought it would be. Now he’s comptemplating where or not to leave a national title contender for a buttload of cash and an uncertain NFL future.

It seems as if all the experts disagree a little on Sanchez, who is an inconsistent strong armed quarterback with all the tools in his arsenal to have a successful pro career. The question, like it has seemed to always be with Sanchez, is which version of him will take the field when he reaches the NFL.

He went from playing spectacular to having bad spells seemingly in the blink of an eye last season. We all know that in the pros that won’t cut it.

I rank Sanchez as the #3 QB behind both Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford and Georgia QB Matthew Stafford. If he leaves he will be a borderline first round pick due to the need for quarterbacks.
