10 year draft look at QBs


TeamDK

Recommended Posts

So we won. So we are now looking at a pick at 9.

I have been looking at the drafts from 2008-2017 to see what you get. The went three years back so the we got to see a QB over atleast three years before judging. Here are what i found. 

17 Qb was selected in the top 10 
Games 1404 - Wins 705 - Loses 698 - TDs 2159 - INTs 1207

The avr QB in top 10 = 41 W, 41L, 127 TD and 71 INT

13 Qb was selected in the top 5
Games 1175 - Wins 586 - Loses 588 - TDs 1794 - INTs 1029

The avr QB in top 5 = 45 W, 45L, 138 TD and 79 INT

10 Qb was selected outside top in the first round

Games 447 - Wins 223 - Loses 224 - TDs 578 - INTs 380

The avr QB outside the top 10 in the first round = 22 W, 22L, 58 TD and 38 INT

94 QB outside the first round

Games 1175 - Wins 536 - Loses 637 - TDs 1648 - INTs 1020
The avr QB outside the first round =  6 W, 7 L, 18 TD and 11 INT


So it seems that QBs selected in the first round are winning about the same from 1-32 which is most likely because the higher you pick a guy the more shitty a team he lands on. If you pick later the team are better and that compensate for the lack of talent(maybe) thus the better stats for QB picked high compared to QB picked later but not winning more games. Coaches and GM seems to matter more than where you pick a guy, though if you are a great organization and have a higher pick you can strike gold.  

QBs outside the first round are statistical not any good and not the way to go. 

Tldr: If you trust in a new GM and Rhule. Maybe the world is not over just yet. But it could have been even better because for a good team a high pick is gold Just ask Colts, Bears, Rams (not Fisher). If you do not trust a new GM and Rhule the win today doesn't matter just ask Jax, Lions, Bucs and Raiders.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
