The 2009-2016 First Round Quarterbacks

Recommended Posts

Been a lot of talk about this group lately so I thought I'd check out the list.

Be warned, looking at this list might make your eyes bleed (I disclaim all responsibility since you've been warned)

...

2009

#1 - Matt Stafford, Georgia, Lions
#5 - Mark Sanchez, USC, Jets
#17 - Josh Freeman, Kansas State, Buccaneers

(I really thought Freeman was gonna be great)


2010

#1 - Sam Bradford, Oklahoma, Rams
#25 - Tim Teebow, Florida, Broncos

(had completely forgotten about #25 there)


2011

#1 - Cam Newton, Auburn, Panthers
#8 - Jake Locker, Washington, Titans
#10 - Blaine Gabbert, Missouri, Jaguars
#12 - Christian Ponder, Florida State, Vikings

(forgot Ponder too, but I'd be willing to bet a lot of people have)


2012

#1 - Andrew Luck, Stanford, Colts
#2 - Robert Griffin III, Baylor, Redskins
#8 - Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M, Dolphins
#22 - Brandon Weeden, Oklahoma State, Browns

(spending a first round pick on Brandon Weeden... yikes)


2013

#16 - EJ Manuel, Florida State, Bills

(look at it this way, there weren't as many busts that year)


2014

#3 - Blake Bortles, Central Florida, Jaguars
#22 - Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M, Browns
#32 - Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville, Vikings

(that #32 pick...yeah)


2015

#1 - Jameis Winston, Florida State, Buccaneers
#2 - Marcus Mariota, Oregon, Titans

(Winston is a free agent but the Saints want him back; speculation the Raiders might trade Mariota)


2016

#1 - Jared Goff, California, Rams
#2 - Carson Wentz, North Dakota State, Eagles
#26 - Paxton Lynch, Memphis, Broncos

(is Lynch still in the league? I'm thinking no)

...

Oy 😳

Sooo...who's up for drafting a quarterback with our top ten pick? 😕

That's a big yikes list. Also, thought Freeman was going to be good. I have more faith in the front office now that Hurney is gone, but he hit that first round out of the park. If he was smart he would just take a job as a first round consultant, the rest of his drafts were as bad as that list, but that first round was always good. As someone that has no inside info or pretends to be in the know, I'm pretty stoked to see just how or draft unfolds.

Manziel...damn.

I was desperately hoping the Cowboys would take him. Word was that Jerry Jones really wanted to but everybody in the Cowboys draft room was fighting to talk him out of it. Practically had to tie him to a chair.

I remember there being a story that either a cab driver or a homeless guy told Jim Haslam he should pick Manziel and he listened. That was as Cleveland Browns a story as there ever was.

So where the hell are we supposed to get a QB from then?  Are the QB bust rates any higher than any other position drafted in the 1st round?  

Also, why did you stop at 2016?  There have been many stud QBs drafted in the first round since then, who seem to be doing OK with the team that drafted them.  2016 was 5 years ago now - ancient history in the NFL.

Moral of the story is that the draft is a crap shoot - regardless of the round and where the player is picked.

It's just noting a trend from those particular years. Guys drafted from 2017 forward would still be on their rookie contracts.

And to be clear, it's not going to stop teams from drafting quarterbacks high, but obviously they need to do a better job of either drafting the right ones or developing the ones they draft.

Feels a little disingenuous not including recent drafts. Id say 9/15 of the 1st round QBs since 2017 are pretty damn good. The number is much higher if I include players I'd take over Teddy in a heartbeat.

 

2017

2. Mitchell Trubisky (Traded up for)

10. Patrick Mahomes (Traded up for)

12. Deshaun Watson (Traded up for)

 

2018

1. Baker Mayfield 

3. Sam Darnold (Traded up for)

7. Josh Allen (Traded up for)

10. Josh Rosen (Traded up for)

32. Lamar Jackson (Traded up for)

 

2019

1. Kyler Murray 

6. Daniel Jones 

15  Dwayne Haskins

 

2020

1. Joe Burrow

5. Tua Tagavalola

6. Justin Herbert

26. Jordan Love (Traded up for)

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
