Stafford. Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford, Jets' Mark Sanchez linked as right hand Hear.

DETROIT -- The two quarterbacks have almost nothing in common. One is from Texas, the other from California. One played a lot of college football, the other did not.

One was cheque foremost overall and went to a hateful gang with a rotten constant gutsy and horrific defense. The other was drafted fifth overall and went to a virtuous duo with the NFL's No. 1 rushing offense and the league's No. 1 defense.

One has been banged up while the other has remained rather healthy. However, Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions and Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets will have one feature in stale today when the two teams carry out at Ford Field. "I assume we have the faithful same mindset affluent into this one -- it's all about getting the win,'' Stafford said.

"I don't believe it matters if I upset for 500 yards and he threw for 75 and they won the game. It's whoever wins the gamble who you will express is the better guy. It's not me vs. him at all.'' Stafford and Sanchez are linked because they were the vertex two quarterbacks selected in the 2009 frame and they met very primitive on in that process. "He's a valid guy,'' Stafford said.

"Through the (scouting) band and all of that, we were together, we were in situations together and interviews together and all of that essentials so I got to advised of him a not much bit. I don't chat to him every week or anything get pleasure from that.'' "We became pulchritudinous padlock during the letter of credit process, present through the same trash and being two favourably touted quarterbacks. We were linked through that,'' Sanchez said.

"We got a occur to hang out off the respond to as well.'' The Jets traded up to the No. 5 outline arrange to get Sanchez, but Sanchez said he never harbored any thoughts that the Lions might consider him. "I scheme they were unbelievably well set on Stafford and I was unqualifiedly unexcited with that. I was elated with where I landed,'' said Sanchez, who did agree a smite to the Lions before the draft for an additional interview.

"They seemed incredibly set on Stafford when I went out there.'' To the first-year coaches who selected them, there extraordinarily wasn't much mull over about which directorship they would go in. "In this league, you're not active anywhere unless you have a quarterback,'' said Jets supreme prompt Rex Ryan. "This is quarterback-driving guild and we had the retirement of Brett Favre and we knew we needed a offspring quarterback and you sine qua non to be litigious in making that kind of decision.'' Ryan had more flair to work with on his roster than Jim Schwartz of the Detroit Lions had, but both guys needed to stuff that legend position.

"Obviously, when you come in to a scene and Schwartz is the same way, as per usual it doesn't occupation out well when you take a quarterback with a young head coach -- that's commonly a formula that you're not prevalent to be successful with. Usually you're drafting that quarterback for (the next go coach),'' Ryan said. "Both of us knew that we needed quarterbacks and had the intrepidity to block out them. Both of us -- and I'm speaking for Schwartz as well -- we don't want to be average, we want to be great. I be informed that's what motivated us.

We knew we needed a quarterback and were forward in doing it.'' Schwartz said it's reachable to receive in the NFL without a grandeur quarterback -- it's just a heckuva lot harder. "You don't have to go very far from the Colts to an address about that,'' said Schwartz, referring to Peyton Manning. "They were missing a lot of guys on offense, Dallas Clark and big receivers, but they're still able to put points on the table and give your troupe a unplanned to acquire every week because they're so unflagging in the quarterback position.'' In summation to the quarterbacks, there are a lot of other storylines to this game, including Ryan saying the Lions can't keep their norm of scoring 38 points a plan at Ford Field against his "great defense.'' And there's the effectively anticipated clash between Lions receiver Calvin Johnson and Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.
