I posted my proof of pretty much nearly every playoff QB and every QB in the top 25 being a 1st rounder or an early to mid 2nd.
Sorry if that doesn't jive with your illusions of 3rd round QBs meaning much.
Guys like Brady are the exception to the rule. Finding long term QB solidarity from a kid that wasn't a first rounder is playing Russian Roulette. The odds are far worse than a QB from the first amounting to much. That's just the history of the NFL speaking for the last several years if not decades.
The QBs worth taking usually go early because it's damn hard to find them and you don't want to pass when you do. The bust rate is high as hell because the position is hard. It just is.
I'm glad Keenum HELPED us get a win I. hagville. We all hate the crap out of that team and fan base. But let's not blow one game out of proportion or think we have any answers at the QB position.
Say we make Keenum the starter next year right now and he pulls a Foles, rookie or rookies we pass on pull a Carr by year two, and we are once again stuck with our dicks in our hands at the altar for a bride that never shows up
I have not concluded anything on Keenum, except I want to see more. I want to make that's clear cause you surely have made your conclusion on Keenum already by continuously saying he isn't the future and how he isn't this, or he isn't that.
At this point I don't think anyone is saying Keenum the savior of our franchise, all we are saying is he plays well and is winning -- I could care less what his measurements, or what college he went to, how he looks or parts his hair, nor do I care how he measures up to Ryan Mallet or Matt Ryan - he is HELPING us win games
That's all that matters to any of us here.
Kurt Warner (not comparing their styles) brought us a Super Bowl Championship and he wasn't even drafted - so again, from a personal point of view I don't care where the
is drafted as long as he's helping us win.
Look, seriously, I'd love for us to grab a first round QB
Bring 'me on!! Goff, Wentz, Cook, that huge kid from Memphis - let them compete with Mannion and Keenum -- we'd be in good shape at that position.
