Is there a franchise QB in next year's draft?

That was seriously one of the least talented(in terms of skill positions) great offenses in the history of the game and it was because of the offensive line.

Please show me where I was "holding the best Oline in football responsible for the team's horrible defense". Duh, the defense sucked, but the overriding point, for the third time now, is that QBs win in this league, not offensive lines. I'm not sure if you're a former Olineman that has a stick up his ass, but QBs are more valuable than offensive linemen. Again, that's why teams fall all over themselves to draft the riskiest position in football at the top of the draft year after year.

I don't know which part of my post wasn't clear. I don't see a franchise quarterback worthy of being taken that high and you don't just reach for one.

I think most scouts would agree with me. I think Stafford is at least debatable as to whether he's top 10-15ish material(I'm talking about in terms of talent, not where he'll get picked), but after that there really isn't much. As it stands, next year is a pretty bad QB class.

Stafford is currently predicted as a top three, if not the top overall pick in the draft. If that's not a potential franchise QB to you, then no offense, but you're a football moron. He has everything you look for in a QB in terms of measurables, leadership, and savvy. Who knows what will happen between now and next April, as Stafford could fall off a cliff and/or other QBs could rise to the top, but at this point it's just foolish to act as if next year is a shitty year for QBs.
