OK. 22 QBs chosen in the top half of the first round from 2011-19. First year of rookie deals that changed everything. 
 

  7 are(were) worthy of that status. Cam, Luck, Watson, Mahomes, Allen, Mayfield, Murray. Tannehill and Goff could go either way. 

13 were busts. Locker, Gabbert, Ponder, Manuel, RG111, Bortles, Winston, Mariota, Darnold, Haskins, Rosen, Trubisky, Jones. 
 

  So of 20, there is a 35% a team gets a franchise QB. Of all those busts, who “turned” it around? Tannehill was on his 2nd contract, with a major injury, on the team that drafted him.

Can you do the same exercise for 1st round CBs?

If a Franchise didn't do jackshit to develop a young QB, how in the hell can that fall at the feet of said QB and not the Franchise(Jets)? 

Hell...The Jets didn't even have a goddamn QB Coach to help him.    The closest he had to one was McCown, a Backup QB who was with him his rookie season(and then was gone the next two).

These are the QBs to make it to the SB last 15 years. 10 are first rounders. 7 aren't.  

You really can't glean much from it.  Teams win SB's.

   WTF? Who said anything about any of that. I posted names and numbers. What’s the issue and what does it have to do with what I posted?

Darnold is on the list of "Bust" which I don't agree with.

So I replied to that part. 🤨

If you got that from a list on a website somewhere and it's not your opinion, then my bad.  

But if it is, then there you go.

If it works out that PJ is better than Sam Darnold, it wont be because PJ is some wunderkind.  It will be because Darnold is truly damaged and a bust.  Sam will have to butt-fumble his way out of Charlotte.

Yep.  That would be a true nightmare, imo.

Not just because it would all but end Sam's chances at being a starter wherever he ends up but we will never hear the end of it from CP and his shaking-of-the-poms-poms for PJ.   lol.

  The team that drafted him, chose to go with a rookie QB Instead of keeping him and getting 3 #1 picks. And he not even done being cheap yet. He is a Jets draft bust. 3 years of average, to below average play. And a 2nd round pick. What team would be satisfied with those results. Until he shows otherwise, he is a subpar starting QB.

Will you relax about Darnold. He just gave you data because you were wanting it. At this point Darnold would be considered a bust since he was drafted number 3 overall and just was traded away for pocket change. A lot of busts are products of their environment. Hopefully he is still young enough and coachable enough to where our staff can resurrect his career. He definitely had some flashes at NYJ and very little support.

Technically, I never specifically asked for his "data". 

He gave it as a response to @OldhamA*shrugs*

His list is just subjective conjecture. 

Mahommes is the only one to win a SB and Cam & Goff are the only other ones to make it there.    

The odds are so small to find a Mahommes, Brady, Manning,  and Wilson who can take you there year after year and even then, its still a team effort.

5% or 8% chance the odds are still overwhelmingly against you.

The safe bet, is to always bet against your team going to the SB in a given year.   Which is what gives the critics fuel because odds are, no matter who we choose, they're right.

I think the strategy of focusing on building the team, being frugal with draft capital, and trying to find the diamond in the rough QB is a good strategy.

 It’s pretty straightforward. Busts didn’t get 2nd contracts. Pretty simple. Wentz(who I forgot) is like Tannehill and Goff. All played well enough for the team that drafted them to invest a franchise QB deal in them. And I still didn’t include them in either list. 
 

   As opposed to whatever jumble of reasoning you just put out there. My parameters are very clear. You have a better measurement. Please share with us all. Not a single data point. A large sample size.

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
