You're talking about round 1, right?

Miami is the same year, I believe.

The Rams are the longest their last one is like 68 or 69.

So basically, Missouri hates QB's is the end result of this.

And Miami is the one that is the same year as Deez mentioned.

The list goes

Rams
Saints
Dolphins/Chiefs

What an inspiring list to be on.

Bledsoe was #1 overall in 1993.

Nice edit, ****er.

Yeah, right after I hit post, I remembered.

Even the expansion teams have taken a QB in the 1st round since we have...hell several teams have multiple first round QB's.

It's rather depressing.

LMAO The only time I delete posts is when they're filled with idiocy. I haven't done it more than 2 or 3 thousand times.

Damn is it deja vu in here didn't all the first round QB stats happen last year at this time.

That hasn't prevented three of those teams from having at least one Superbowl caliber QB since the last time they took a 1st rounder. That's pretty good odds (75%).

And FWIW, 75% is much better than 18%

The only one of those teams that's won a bowl since then is the Rams and the reason Miami is tied with the Chiefs is their pick in the same year was a HOFer.

3 of the 4 teams that haven't used a high pick on a QB in more than 20 years are also teams that haven't won anything....I guess we need to start canvasing grocery stores.

I guess those are good odds, save for the fact that we represent the 25%.

So maybe it's time to try another approach? Maybe acquiring someone else's backup/castoff isn't working too well?

Dude, I never stated that the Chiefs should take a QB with the fifth pick overall. They should have taken a QB last year in the first round but instead, we got Hurrican Tyson Jackson, the 5 tech Wonder Boy.

And his impact was immeasurable. And I mean that literally.


I'm sorry to hear that because that is NOT the way to build a football team. You build a team around a franchise QB, PERIOD.

Pittsburgh would not have won two Super Bowls this decade with Ben. The Colts wouldn't be in a position to win their second without Manning. The Giants would not have won without Eli. The list goes on and on and on and on.

In this day and age, you need a first round QB to compete for the Championship.

It Bill Cowher would have realized he needed a QB years ago the Steelers would have several more bowls.

Exactly. He could have been in at least two more Super Bowls had he not relied on journeyman backups and never-was QB's.

Why is this still a debated topic?

We haven't won jack ****ing shit in forever. When we had fantastic o-lines, nasty ****ing defenses, solid special teams--all in the same year--we still haven't won shit.

What's been missing? What's still missing?

We just watched impressively poor QB play this season AND STILL we're debating the merits of trying to acquire a franchise QB. Wow.

Not wow.

Wow, business as usual.
