Ben was picked 11th and the Steelers did not intentionally tank the season to get him. He was also the 3rd QB taken that year, and IMO, the best of the three.
Eli Manning was the guy everyone was drooling over, and he's the least of the bunch.
If a good franchise develops a talented QB, then they'll succeed.
A bad franchise can draft a great QB and it's a disaster. I think Carson Palmer would be an elite QB right now had he been drafted by a team that isn't a complete ****ing circus.
I want us to draft a QB, but I'd never advocate tanking to pick high in the draft and I certainly don't think picking #1 is the absolute best position to be in if you don't win a SB.
