ALL successful QB's in the NFL are exceptions. The majority of guys from big schools fail. The majority from small schools fail. The majority of toolsy-QB's fail. The majority of great-college-stats-QBs fail. The majority of small QBs fail. The majority of big QBs fail.
And this is why you take on of the defensive guys. You’re more likely to hit. We can’t afford to miss on a QB with the number one, er two pick.
What exception is young? Russ wilson is under 6ft and has a Super Bowl ring. Of all the short QBs in the nfl, pretty much all of them have been to the playoffs. If anything it’s the prototype QBs with a bigger percentage of busts… lol
The main difference is that you'll never be good without a top-tier QB. And while most fail, #1 picks do better than top-10 picks who do better than 1st round picks who do better than lower round picks. So while you're likely to fail, picking a QB still gives you the best chance to succeed. A top DL does little for the team if you still don't have a QB, and DL's fail all the time too, so it's not like you're getting a sure-fire probowler. Keep in mind that the vast majority of NFL teams fail. I would say the final four this year would all consider their seasons pretty successful even if they lose tomorrow. As would Jacksonville, the Giants, and a few others. Everyone else probably considers the season a disappointment.
Ok well probably shouldn’t pick a QB for the next 5-8 years because Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Lawrence and Hurts will have the league on lock.
Who's gonna run our offense? That's the big question. We need an offensive genius in the house next to Ryan's if we choose him. It sure as hell isn't Pep.
What would you be willing to bet that the first three qb’s off the board this year are NOT top-tier?? It’s a waste of a pick. I don’t argue you need one. But the risk vs reward at that spot isn’t worth it in this draft with Carter and Anderson there.
Negative. But Burrow isn’t in this draft. Luck isn’t in this draft. Lawerence isn’t in this draft. The best sure fire talent in THIS draft is on the defensive side of the ball at the top two picks.
Every QB can’t be Luck/Burrow/Lawrence. Those don’t come out every year. If I can recall, 3 out of the 4 remaining QBs we’re not projected to be a top 5 quarterback coming into the league. Only Burrow was.
Maye is Levis 2.0. Look at his last 4 games of last season: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/drake-maye-1/gamelog/2022/ Williams has a maturity problem. Also, the Texans probably wont be picking high enough to get them.
I’m not saying that there is. However, from what I understand, the class next year is supposed to be stronger that’s this years class. My point is you’re not a QB away. The odds are better that you get a pro bowl impact defender at the top of this draft than they are that you just drafted your franchise quarterback. So take the QB next year or the year after. This team is at least two years away from being competitive. That you can most definitely “put on record”!
