What about Matt Stafford? What the hell has he done? Nada.

Also, only cherry picking the 8 teams that drafted a QB and then won is not a fair argument. In the same time period cited, from the 70 Steelers to present day, there have been plenty more "franchise" QB's drafted that didn't pan out, then ones that did.
If you want a dynasty you need to draft and develop your own QB. That's precisely why the Bucs, Bears, Ravens, and Eagles were part of the argument.

Good God.

I don't know if you didn't read the OP or didn't understand it, because your response could suggest either. What percentage of Super Bowls were won by QBs drafted high? What might that be indicative of?

"Oh hey, QBs don't pan out, too."

We obviously should have just taken Jason Smith or Aaron Curry then, Gotta love those safe picks.
