The ****ing point is that the term "reach" is irrelevant to quarterbacks because of the upside their position comes with if the pick works out.
Let's say you want to buy a lottery ticket, so you go to the gas station.
Once there, you see that there are only 2 choices of tickets to decide between.
Ticket 1 is $10 and carries 2:1 odds of winning 15 dollars
Ticket 2 is also $10 and carries 4:1 odds of winning 100 dollars.
Which ticket do you buy?

No, really, your only point is that you want to cry because you don't have a SB winning QB, and you're lashing out with really stupid arguments as a result. Players are called reaches for a reason, and most QBs who drop don't pan out, just as most QBs who don't drop don't lead teams to SBs. Your argument would apply to Brady and Warner, but also to the likes of Tyler Palko, for crying out loud, because they all should have been taken at the top of round one since they were QBs.
That should tell you that you don't really have a point. Somehow, I suspect it won't get through to you. So, I'll tell you what you should do. You should get a group of buyers together and purchase a team. Then, you should draft QB with every single pick you get in the draft. Keep doing that, because you just never know which QB will be the one.
As for Rodgers, here are the other Tedford round one QBs (making the likely mistake of assuming Wikipedia got something right instead of looking for a different source):
Trent Dilfer
David Carr
Akili Smith
Joey Harrington
Kyle Boller
Yeah, any team that worried about a Tedford QB with all that greatness to look back on must have been crazy.
