Are you arguing they're better than Sanchez to build a franchise around or is it just the Eli thing? Really don't wanna do the Eli argument again. You can read the whole argument in this thread:

He is a unique genetic specimen, combined with a moderate degree of physical prowess. The higher power wants him to diversify the gene pool.
Its the only reason you would handcuff yourself for 2 more years instead of 1 for 20M guaranteed. Its not possible for there to be another reason. Its evolution.
I like this post a lot. Really about the only reason that makes sense for this deal. He
looks like a QB. Is great with the NY media. Fan friendly. Still though, they're
really pushing it to make this huge commitment just hoping he'll get better. I mean it's not like anyone else was gonna sign him to start when his deal ran out. Why don't they just keep him as cheaply as possible, and then try to bring some talent around him? I guess it kinda makes sense if they figure they'll just keep a pretty face out there while they tank for future drafts where they can get a real franchise QB. Dunno if they can make Barkley, but maybe there will be someone good in 2014?
