Listing examples, on the other hand, gives us a frame of reference. We can look at their Career Approximate Value (CAV) based on statistics stripping out emotion. Montana: 123 Elway: 138 Graham: 84 Staubach: 104 Marino: 145 Bradshaw: 106 P. Manning: 165 E. Manning: 86 Brady: 140 Roethlisberger: 86 Flacco: 55 OK, here are a couple of interesting facts about what you consider a "franchise QB": 1) with a couple of exceptions (Flacco and Roethlisberger) a franchise QB is either a current hall of famer or a future hall of famer, 2) with one exception (Flacco) all the QBs you've listed have a higher CAV than what you can typically expect with the number one overall pick (74). You've supported the very point I was making in the OP. Thank you. |

Furthermore, it would be nice to be comfortable with a QB in the clutch, and when someone asks you if you are worried during a game when KC is down needing a FG or TD to win. All you have to say is " No, because we have _insert badass QB here_ and he's going to do _insert badass QB here_ shit now."

That'd be like flipping it around and dismissing a large part of what Geno did in college because he consistently played below average to terrible defenses and when he played someone like a K-State didn't play well at all. Does it take away from what he did or make him any less of a prospect? Uh no. I like Geno...I wanted Geno...I still do...but I'm not losing any sleep over the fact he more than likely will be playing elsewhere in the NFL. |
