This is a ridiculous statement. 15 first round QB's have won 23 Super Bowls:
Ben Rothlisberger
Bob Greise
Doug Williams
Earl Morrall
Jim McMahon
Jim Plunkett
Joe Namath
John Elway
Lenny Dawson
Peyton Manning
Phil Simms
Steve Young
Terry Bradshaw
Trent Dilfer
Troy Aikman
Two third round QB's have won 5 Super Bowls:
Joe Montana
Jeff Hostetler
Considering the odds, the Chiefs are far
more likely to win a Super Bowl with a first round QB than a third round draft choice.
Croyle was a third round draft choice for one reason: Injury prone. He's continuing that trend in the NFL.
