Nice, can you step off your blanket statements for a sec and read what I wrote?

I am scared of THESE two QBs, I wanted Flacco and Henne last year. I am definitely not against drafting a QB... but junior QBs don't have a great track record... And if you look at the list, QBs at the #3 spot don't either... McNair is the one good QB out of 6.

To be honest I wasn't a big Matt Ryan fan last year, and he will probably work out well.. If it comes to Stafford or Sanchez.. I would take the one with higher upside (Sanchez) but as I said, neither excites me nor have they all season.

So, because I don't like those two players.. I am afraid of drafting a QB?

You are right, it is a blanket statement.

However, if you look at that, one could conclude that if you don't simply throw a QB into the fire immediately, and give him some time to sit and learn, you could allow him to develop into an MVP calibre QB, since the only one of those QBs that really turned into anything was given time to develop.

But then Matt Ryan could debunk that theory.

The fact is, it really is impossible to draw any conclusions from this.

What has happened with QBs selected in the past has no bearing on how these guys will turn out.
