Where DO you get a HOF QB?
-
I don't think it is all luck. Arm strength, accuracy, personality type, mental toughness, previous experience, how did a player perform in their biggest and toughest games of the season. All of these factor into the odds of a QB succeeding. There are some people with a history of picking good QBs
If you have done your homework and believe that a future all pro QB is in your sights you take him unless you already have a young all pro QB. Let's hope Brady makes us forget all of this conversation in the next two months.

Well, you can have a future HOFer right under your nose, and not recognize it. Dawson and Unitas got cut- think Atlanta is kicking themselves in the a** for trading Farve?
Let's lower our sights for a minute- I'll settle for a real franchise qb- and the current crop has a disproportionate share of first rounders.
Yeah, it is luck to an extent- Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf?
'99 Couch, McNabb, or Akilli Smith? The Eagles got lucky- I thought Couch was the safe pick, and I still remember the Eagles fans booing McNabb off the stage when his name got called.

Well, as noted, over 52.4% were first round picks, and that would have been higher but for Staubach's military thing. So, maybe going QB in the first round IS the way to go?
Sure...I agree with that....it's total luck after round 1.
I don't see it this year...I don't think any are all that good.

And I completely agree with you. (and we have our round 1 QB on the roster: Quinn. Ergo, the odds say that as a #1 round pick, he has a higher chance to become a Hall of Famer than the other QBs on the roster!!

OK, but rounds 1-100 or however many there may have been have only produced 9 HOF QBs. And one guy was never drafted at all!
So you want to put all your money on a QB in round one based on some small percentage of a percent chance that he'll eventually become a Hall of Famer?
This team has lots of needs. If for some reason there is a QB out there that is more superior at that position than any player available at another position we need help at, then pick him... but if you need another position and there's a clearly outstanding individual at that position you've got to go for it.
You need a good team to make a QB look great. A great QB playing on a crap team isn't going to look so hot.

Again, I don't disagree with you at all. I was merely pointing out that more HOF QBs were obtained via a first round pick than in any other round. And there have only been 11 of those, so even the chances of drafting a QB in the first round that will make the HOF is still miniscule.
Of the sure fire future HOF QBs, you have Manning 1st round, Favre 2d rounder, Brady 6th rounder. If Kurt Warner makes it he will be of the Warren Moon variety: never even drafted. Who else is a possible?

And I have always contended that if Couch had been picked by the Eagles, and McNabb by the Browns, it would have been McNabb who would have struggled and Couch who would have thrived.

By the way: Does anyone think Vinny Testaverde could one day be placed in the HOF?
His career numbers are surprising: 7th all time in total yards and completions. 6th all time in attempts. 8th all time in TD passes.
Vote, yea, or nay.

Unless we use the "Joe Namath Scoring System" (I mean for HOF, not Suzi Kolber).

Formerly Stone said:
To answer your question...."Where do you get a HOF QB"?Miami of Ohio
Well, you certainly get a HOF coach from there: Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, Paul Brown, Ara Parseghian., Weeb Ewbank. Also FYI, Walter Alston, HOF baseball manager
Don't know about QBs. None are in there from that school. It is way too premature to speculate on that respecting any current player. In regard to those 21 "modern" QBs that are in, here are their schools:
Alabama: Namath, Starr
BYU: Young
Duke: Jurgenson
Georgia: Tarkenton
Kentucky: Blanda
LSU: Tittle
La. Tech: Bradshaw
Louisville: Unitas
Miami, Fla: Kelly
Navy: Staubach
Northwestern: Graham
Notre Dame: Montana
Oregon: Fouts, Van Brocklin
Pitt: Marino
Purdue: Griese, Dawson
Stanford: Elway
Texas: Layne
UCLA: Waterfield, Aikman

This is mostly because he played for 21 years.... he had a couple good seasons but for the most part he was either mediocre or an interception factory. I vote nay.

RIght on the money..Poster boy for this.. Archie Manning.. great qb..crap team.

I think you have to pick the best player available at your pick regardless of position. To me that is the safest way to get a HOFer.

Vinny? Not as much of a slam dunk nope when I looked at the records, but nope, don't belong. the Seniors committee may get him in way in the future.
8th all time in TD passes, and about 4th all time in interceptions- that's what's going to kill him in HOF voting, that, and no Super Bowl appearances or wins. His suckatonic resume from Tampa will also seriously detract. Interceptions are a funny thing- Farve ( a lead pipe lock first ballot HOFer) leads the parade in that regard, but he has a career passer rating of 85- to Vinny's 75- 75 screams M-E-D-I-O-C-R-E.
FWIW, George Blanda and Fran Tarkenton are way up there in career ints, .
