Tanking does not guarantee a good QB

Nothing guarantees anything, here’s some actual data.

# of super bowl winning QBs by pick in the past 20 years:

#1 - 3 Super Bowl Winning QBs

#10 - 1

#11 - 1

#18 - 1

#24 - 1

#32 - 1

#75 - 1

#88 - 1

#199 - 1

#227 - 1

The #1 pick has produced 3x more Super Bowl winning QBs than any other individual pick. Additionally, 3 other #1 overall picks, a #2 overall pick, and a #3 overall pick all played in Super Bowls over that same period and lost. 10 of the past 20 Super Bowls have featured at least one QB picked in the top 3 overall picks.

Not to mention that the only great QB we've ever had was the #1 pick.

Just have fun the rest of the season. That is it. 

The players want to win. The coaches want to win. The fans just want a future so we want a QB. I already won this year so what is left is just a bonus. I'm not taking anything left very seriously until we see what the next plan looks like. 

Good teams find good QBs or make less than desirable QBs better than they normally play. We haven't been a good team, who knows what comes next.

I have to admit, I was on the tank bandwagon but after seeing Fields (OSU QB) look awful, it has gave me pause on Stroud, then you have Bryce young who is smaller than Baker, pass. Which leaves Will Levis who looks promising but has big question marks coming through in clutch moments.

The more I look, the more I realize this draft doesn’t have a Andrew Luck or Cam Newton and truth be told, I really don’t see any QBs that stand night and day above Corral.

Yes, fields and stroud are the exact same player.

That’s because all OSU QBs HAVE been trash. It’s very logical actually. 

There has been different coaches/schemes over that time. LSU had Flynn and Russell, should they have avoided Burrow? Any good QBs out if Tennessee before Manning? Auburn before Cam? Texas Tech before Mahomes? Oregon before Herbert had Mariotta and Harrington? 
 

Like I said, illogical….

    • The aversion to tying up too much money in the ground game when it’s what’s winning us games is crazy to me. I get letting Rico walk if you think he’s easily replaceable but I don’t see many people arguing that, just applying an arbitrary salary cap based on what we think RBs are currently worth. I’d rather be stuck with Hubbard as an overpaid backup (not the worst one to have, mind you) than lose out on the most productive player on the offense personally.
    • Why do people keep saying things like “it’s not Young’s fault we spent so much to draft him”? Who cares if it’s his fault?  Nobody is saying send him to jail or anything.  People aren’t talking about blame for the decision to draft him, they’re talking about how bad he is as a QB and how we’d be much better with even an average QB.  Pointing out that we sunk a lot of resources into drafting him isn’t invalidated because he didn’t make that decision himself. Doesn’t matter whose fault that was, he’s still not playing like a QB who was drafted at all, much less one that cost two firsts, two seconds and a #1 WR.
