11 SB winners, 6 were QBs. Of the 5 non QBs, 4 of them played with elite QBs (Stabler, Aikman, Warner, Staubach). George Rogers was a backup for the Redskins.
Quarterbacks that were passed on in favor of non-SB-winning losers: Doug Williams, Phil Simms, Jim McMahon, Boomer Esiason, Jim Everett, Steve McNair, Kerry Collins, Chad Pennington, Jay Cutler, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco.
The lesson: If you don't draft a QB, good luck, dumbass.
