There have been 112 starting Super Bowl QBs in the 56 Super Bowls to date.  28 of them (25% or 1 in 4) were drafted after round 5.  Of course, Brady helps this statistic.  Only 57 of the 112 (51%) were first round selections when they were drafted. That means that 49% of all Super Bowl QBs starting for their teams were not first rounders. 

64 QBs have played in a SB. 33 have been 1st rounders.

19 1st rounders have won. 14 1st rounders have lost.

13 1st rounders have won for the team that drafted them. 12 have lost the SB for the team that drafted them and never won a SB.

7 6th round to undrafted QBs have won the SB.

It's interesting when you see all the numbers. 1st round picks get a greater percentage of franchise QB opportunities handed to them. These opportunities go longer than they should when they fail to produce. No matter which QB a team gives the franchise opportunity to, 85% of franchise QBs make it to the playoffs - favoring the 6th to undrafted (82% 1st rounders; 85% 2nd-5th rounders; 91% 6th to undrafted).

When it comes to drafting QBs to win the SB, only 8 (7.7%) 1st round QBs have won it all with the coach and team that drafted them. 4 (5.8%) 6th round to undrafted QBs have done the same. 3 (4.1%) 2nd to 5th round QBs have done the same.

19 SB champion QBs have been inherited from a previous coaching staff, signed in the offseason, or acquired in a trade (only 2 of these SB QBs) by their SB winning coach.

Drafting a QB is highly overrated. Drafting a 1st round QB in the top 20 is a complete waste of resources. These QBs take away from building a team, lose a lot of playoff games, and get many coaches fired. Finding a QB should be a patient and widespread search that saves draft capital and pairs a QB with the offensive genius of the coaching staff. A GM should draft a QB selectively, conservatively, and purposefully.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
