Yay! I can't wait for the 7th round of the 2009 draft!

Woo-hoo!

Honestly I am for grabbing a QB every other year or more until you get a franchise guy..

The key is to make them earn it..

Say we get stafford or sanchez, they are going to have to beat out Thigpin to get the starting gig.. As long as there is competition I do not care who starts..

I like Maualuga, that guy's a monster.

IMO it would be foolish to pass on Stafford or Sanchez if they are there at #3 just to pick up a few more players..

2nd round QB's dont win Super Bowls. Take the QB in the first, fix the defense with the rest.

Look it up. Stabler and Favre thats it, and Packers traded a 1st for Favre.

Only TWO second round QB's have ever won a Super Bowl: Ken Stabler and Brett Favre.

And, it could be argued that since the Packers gave a first round draft choice for Favre, only one second rounder ever won a Super Bowl.

How is that a "horrible statement"?

Point is you are more likely to find your franchise QB if you were to draft one per year in rounds 3-7 until you hit a one (might get lucky on the first try might take 3 years) Then drafting one #3 overall and being stuck with him even if he is a bust.

Historically that is not true at all.

There have only been 27 QB's in the history of the league actually WIN a Super Bowl, out of hundreds, if not well over a thousand that have played in the league.

That's a ridiculously small sample size.

Except you cant always trade down. I dont know if we take a chance on Sanchez if he's there. I am worried about that only starting 1 year thing. If Staffords there though, get em.

No fifth round QB has won a Super Bowl. No 7th round QB has won a Super Bowl.

Only ONE 4th round QB has one the Super Bowl (Theisman).

Yet 24 Super Bowls have been one by first rounders.

And unless Kurt Warner wins the Super Bowl, that number will grow to 25.

Isn't Super Bowl wins what defines QB play? Its the reason why Marino, Kelly and others arent thought of as highly as they should.

I wonder how many first round QB's flamed out and never won squat.....

it's not just the QB...it's getting the right players and staff together at the right time...it is extremely hard to do....
