The Best Bargain Basement QB Picks

I actually really like what I saw on tape of Luis Perez, QB from Texas A&M Commerce.
I don't think he is ready to start as a rookie, but he has a strong arm, a quick release, is very accurate, smart, and cool...
Not sure I have ever even heard of him....so I guess he would be a real bargain basement guy.
Probably a UDFA.
In my research I only looked for drafted QBs. I have no doubt that perhaps over the last 18 years there have been some UDFA QBs that have come in and done a very nice job in the league.
I am not sure I can name them...but I suspect there are a few out there. So if anyone else can name them...great, please do so.

Is this another Mason Rudolph thread?
Is your FMU education so deficient that you cannot read simple English?
It is about QBs who have been drafted "later" that turned out to fairly productive, given their draft status.
I would have thought perhaps what with post #3 you may have thought it was a thread about you: total underachievers.

Heath Shuler didn't make the list? David Carr had a much better career IMO. He even lost to Nancy Pelosi, to add insult to injury.

This is just as likely to be a Luke Falk or a Mike white thread. Or Nick Stevens or some other lower rated quarterback that actually becomes very productive in his career

That's a double negative, right? So it's sufficient?

Didn't pay attention to the parameters....my bad.

I'm not going to elaborate on names but since 2000, there have been 41 QBs drafted in the first round. Around 14 outright busts, 9 that underperformed (quality backups to spot starters), 10 that were quality starters, and 8 outright studs. Eli, Rodgers, Ryan, BR, Rivers....
So league wide, better than 50\50 odds you're not going to draft an outright bum qb in the first round. The Browns hit the trifecta with Quinn, Weeden, and Manziel.

This guy could wind up being one of the steals in the draft. I hadn't seen much of him until recently, and he's damn fun to watch. He makes plenty of big time throws and is a next level type of athlete.

I don't know about no double negative.
I just know that you never seem to say anything on here above the intelligence level of third grader. Perhaps you could try to work to improve on that...if you are able.

But it is also 50/50 that you ARE going to draft an outright bum in the first round. But yes...the Browns skew the average.

I said the odds are better than 50% you're not going to draft an outright bum qb in the first round.
Since I have the time, and you want to argue- 2000 on first round qbs- Da Bums: Dave Carr (injury bust), Joey Harrington, JP Losman, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Jamarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, Tim Tebow (should never have been drafted in the 1st), Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Chris Ponder, (note the previous three may still be on a roster somewhere, I'm not gonna look) Griffin (partial injury bust), Brandon We-done, Johnny Manziel, Paxton Lynch (pending bust). That's 15\41.
Then you have guys who started for a few years, or wound up as quality backups- that isn't a total bust in my mind. Chad Pennington, Brian Leftwich, Jason Campbell, Jay Cutler, Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman, Sam Bradford (would be in the next tier if he could stay healthy), Ryan Tannehill, EJ Manuel (if you want to say bust there, OK). 9\41
So that's 58% that either busted, or under performed. Only 36% flat-out busts though. (about the historical rate of fist round busts, all positions)
Now- the guys that earn "franchise QB" in my book: Michael Vick, Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Matt Stafford, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Blake Bortels (iffy), Jamis Winston, Marcus Marriotta, Jared Goff, Carson Wentz. too early to say on 2017. 17\41 = 41%
So the odds of getting a stud- or at least a quality backup QB in the first round are historically better than flipping a coin.

Boo Fagley says that both Vick and Winston are busts. I don't agree with that.
So let me revise my comment: Your chances seem better than 50/50 to get an underachiever in round one. Is that better language?
Of course, past round one....you could say that there is no such thing as "underachievement" because no QB taken past round one should be considered to be of "franchise QB" status.
Fair to say?

I'm tired of basement bargain QB's or any position.. I want the real McCoy.. Not to be confused with McFry!
