CBS Sports ... don't know the guy ... but even without giving his conclusions any credence, it's still interesting to review the QBs of each draft since 2004.

This throws a lot of cold water on people who want to wait

If you were looking QB from 06-11 you basically couldnt get one. Unless you had the one pick in te right year. Hard to do.

Otherwise your only changes at a decent QBs were Flacco and cutler

Ouch.

This cant be risked. We already know next year is a bad class.
Wow - there are a number of Bad QB

Agreed. But unfortunately a lot of fans have this irrational belief that you can get a qb any year you want, the same fans who believe Eli is winning another SB here. 2019 looks weak and 2020 isn't sizing up to be much better, a lot of weak armed, undersized qbs.

To be fair, it is currently considered a bad class by all reports. That could definitely change, but hoping it does is a big risk.

and to be honest, most on this board that don't want a QB haven't seen the QBs play. They are basing it on reports and rumors.
He's listing..

Trubisky, Mahomes, Watson, Prescott and Garoppolo as franchise QB's already.
Yeah, he takes an unnecessary dig at Eli

There is a media narrative that Ben is a sure fire HoFer and Eli isnt. Yet they are virtually indistinguishable

Person A:

51,065 yards 329 TD 94 QBR

6 pro Bowls 2 Super Bowls

Person B:

51,682 yards 339 TD 84 QBR

4 Pro Bowls, 2 Super Bowls


You really have to split some hairs in order to find one a sure bet HoFer and the other one not.

And one..

You can read this both ways...

that most years there aren't any QB's worth taking, so you better take one this year, or...

That most years there aren't any QB's worth taking, so why should this year be any different?

Doesn't it really all depend on the grade of the QB? The fact that we're picking #2 has nothing to do with those grades.

I'm hopeful we can find the QB we need, but the moral of this story to me is don't try to force a pick if the grade isn't there just because you've got a tremendous asset (#2).
