Based on your way of thinking, these guys would have NEVER seen the field to PROVE that they are the talented guys they are.
The Saints, who needed a QB like I need oxygen, RELEASED Marc Bulger.
David Garrard SAT behind a below average Byron Leftwich for years, as did Romo in Dallas.
And we've discussed ad nauseum around here that the Patriots have Mo Lewis to thank for their recent run of Lombardi Trophies. Had he not re-arranged Drew Bledsoe's internal organs, there's no telling when Brady sees the field.
3 of the 4 guys listed had the benefit of spending years as a back up.
Croyle got 1, and was thrown into the fire behind one of the worst lines in NFL history.

Thank you for explaining that.
I thought it would be obvious that I wasn't comparing their stats, I was referencing their draft position and the fact that teams kept them around even though they were drafted low.
