Only one playoff team in the NFC had/has a 1st round draft choice at QB.

Take a look at this:

1) Eagles (Jalen Hurts, 2nd round)

2) 49ers (Jimmy G (3rd), Brock Purdy, (6th round and Mr. Irrelevan) combined to win 10 games in a row, and todays' playoff win)

3) Vikings (Kurt Cousins, 4th round)

4) Bucs (Tom Brady, 6th round)

5) Cowboys (Dak Prescott ,4th round)

6) Giants (Daniel Jones, 1st round)

7) Seahawks (Gino Smith, 2nd round)

 

If you could pick any of those guys based on their 2022 season,  who would be the last QB on your list most wanted list?

More than likely Daniel Jones, the only QB taken in the 1st round. I don't say that to disrespect Jones. Under Daboll he's actually showing signs of becoming a solid starter in the NFL. What this does show is that a QB taken in the 1st round isn't  guaranteed to outperform a QB taken later in the draft. You don't have to reach for a questionable QB in the top 5/top 10.  Players taken later in the draft can provide  competent QB play if the team is well constructed and well coached.

We had two QB's on our roster that were drafted in the top 5 of the 2018 draft to begin the 2022 season and we see how that turned out.

So what your saying is Sam Howell is gonna win a Super Bowl 

Nope.

But, he is just as likely to win a SB  as Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, and Justin Fields.

1. Chiefs - first round QB

2. Bills - first round QB

3. Bengals- first round QB

4. Jags - First round QB

5. Ravens - First round QB (injured)

6. Chargers - First round QB

7. Dolphins - First round QB (injured)

Verdict: majority of playoff teams have a first round QB

Only two QB's on that list have played in a Super Bowl so far. They have a combined total of one SB win and 1-2 overall record in the big game. Now, I expect that to change in the future, but it may not change this season. When they're playing their A-game, the Eagles, 49ers, and Vikings can beat any of those teams on a neutral field. Heck, if Brady somehow lucked his way to another SB with that medicore Tampa team, he could still light any of those teams up. Tampa just destroyed KC in the SB two years ago.

You only need a QB with average football intelligence, athletic instincts in the pocket, a sigma personality, perseverance, patience, and decisiveness. There are plenty of QBs available who fit this, but they don't tend to overwhelmingly be 1st round combine winners. Offensive coaches are the key. Take Kafka and Tierney away from Daboll's staff and he will be 2nd or 3rd tier as an NFL head coach.

Damn that just destroyed this thread. Also which was of those NFC QBs would we trade away first rounds picks to acquire? Maybe Hurts?

AFC is Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, and Burrow without a doubt…  Maybe Jackson or Lawrence. You can make the playoffs with an average QB if your team/staff is strong enough, but an elite QB will keep you playoff relevant consistently, even with missing roster pieces.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
