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.

Your reasoning is spot on. The only flaw in your otherwise brilliant treatise is that it's not as easy to identify that franchise quarterback as you seem to think. Obviously Sanchez wasn't the guy. Perhaps Stafford could have been, and he sure looks great at times in Detroit, but I haven't seen Detroit in any Super Bowls since they selected Matt Stafford. So in other words, both quarterbacks identified in your treatise were failures.
Part of getting that franchise quarterback is timing and being lucky. The Colts were damn lucky TWICE because they had the #1 overall pick the year that the best quarterback of his generation was available. The Chiefs missed out on that by one stinking year. That's not a systemic organizational failure. That's bad ****ing luck, and it doesn't do any good to crucify Dorsey for (
correctly) passing on Geno Smith last year and for not drafting a quarterback this year if they don't think he is truly the guy.
