The asinine notion that people are "scared" because they don't want to piss away a top 5 pick on a QB that they don't think will succeed against the odds is just taking hit after hit.
As for value, what the hell is the 'value' of failure? What's the longterm value of drafting Ryan Leaf?

It is not surprising whatsoever that the logic of that post was completely lost on you.
You wonder why I say you're afraid to pick a QB, and you launch in to diatribes like this.
We had a poll in the draft forum a week or so ago. Potential percentiles were assigned for each position, 98, 90, and 80, meaning that a QB with an 80 would have the potential to be better than 4/5 of the league.
Every person who voted picked 3 "players".
Who are you picking in that case, and why?
