    Here's what you look for:

    Dan Marino's release,

    John Elway's arm,

    Steve Young's legs

    Peyton Manning's brain

    and Joe Montana's cool

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    You only mentioned the great good or undecideds. There's got to be some turds in the upper echelon.

    Yep...lots of turds....here is a selection of ist round picks from just the last 10 years.....all 1st rounders.....

    Manuel

    RGIII

    Weeden

    Locker

    Gabbert

    Ponder

    Bradford

    Tebow

    Sanchez

    Freeman

    J. Russell

    Quinn

    V. Young

    Leinert

    Cutler

    Campbell

    Losman

    So....in 10 years, a total of 31 QB's have been picked 1st round.....and the 17 listed above have been less than good so far.....

    Which means there are still 14 out there who either are playing well....or still unproven(including this years class of 3).....

    And I guess the only point is that these guys all had SOMETHING the experts liked from college....they were the best of the best and most had great college stats....or the perfect skill set....or the best body type....but still fell short at a rate greater than 50%

    Ok, whatever....He's great then!....the best!

    Now, lets see if Chicago thinks so, because right now he's on the bench.....

    Cutler is average at best He has talent but he isn't a very good QB.

    He's been in the league 9 years and made the playoffs 1 time. He's made the pro bowl 1 time also. He's only had 1 4000 yard season too. His 61-55 record is about average.

    He does have a boat load of cash and a hot wife though

    Relative to some of those guys on that list, he's definitely not a dud. Weeden is a dud. Tebow was a dud. Big difference.

    I didn't say dud, but he's not good either

    Plenty... as well as a whole lotta "Who?"

    Pick a link any link... or I could read and record the entire list, e-mail it to you...

    You lazy fuck... 🙂

    Agree... Cutler's no dud. He's a "couldabeen"... in the end they are even more destructive.

    Rule #1: Must not run the spread option. Eliminate all QBs who ran spread option in college, including Marcus Mariota (who will suck in the NFL). The spread option has fucked up all these stat comparisions.

    Oh since there are only a few listed I assumed the rest sucked or didn't count.

    I'd try to cobble together a point from that, but as you say... 😉

    ((()))) Love ya Beavers. Try not to gloat too much if DA wins the game today.

    Our pal Shep said one of the best predictors is # of games played in college. No it isn't. Sure, you have guys like the Mannings and Rotlisberger- but there's a bunch of NFL bums who were 4 year starters- like Colt McCoy- or worse- who never did jack in the pros.

    I agree the spread offense is hurting the college QB's chances of making it in the NFL. NFL QB's need to win from the pocket by reading defenses and making the correct throw. The spread doesn't help those skills.

    give me a guy who can read a defense, go through progressions quickly and deliver the ball accurately.

    I would say physicality plays a much larger role than stats.
