It's basically a guy doing a giant stats breakdown to tell us that we shouldn't take a QB because god forbid he might bust.

I agree here. There are going to be busts at every position. The reason that there are more QB busts is that more teams reach for what is known to be the most important position on the field.

Busts are caused most often when teams have a need and then reach for that need as opposed to drafting better players at less of a need position.

GM's aren't above rationalizing the talent that is there is what they need. And, clearly fans aren't, as evidenced by all the support for Sanchez.
