Rule 26-27-60 helps predict NFL quarterback success or failure

Call it the Rule of 26-27-60.

Here is the gist of it: If an NFL prospect scores at least a 26 on the Wonderlic test, starts at least 27 games in his college career and completes at least 60 percent of his passes, there's a good chance he will succeed at the NFL level.

Since 1998, these are some of the NFL quarterbacks who aced all three parts of the Rule of 26-27-60: Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Kyle Orton, Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Stafford.

Hard to evaluate, yes. Impossible, hardly.

My system is not fail safe, but a much better indicator than what many of the teams use to select their "QB of the future".

1. Must start 3 years in college.

2. Must complete over 60% of their passes.

3. Have at least 2-1 TD to INT %.

4. Be somewhere between 6-2 and 6-6.

Too many people get enamored with arm strength and mobilty and forget that there are many other skills that a successful NFL QB has to have..on top of those.

This is what I posted a while ago as my measuring stick for picking a QB in the first two rounds...

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      People really need to stop placing Dan Morgan on some kind of infallible pedestal. He is absolutely in lockstop with Tepper regarding Bryce and has been all along. As far as the team being okay with 185 passing yards per game. We better have a proven monster RB in our backfield then. Presently that guy is not on the roster. Chuba has one outlier season so far and the other guys have proven nothing. Not what you would call a great recipe. The only thing we can hope at this juncture is that the highest paid OL in the league for the second year in a row elevates their play from last season and opens up some massive holes even our RB's can get through. But it still doesn't resolve the issue of predictability. With no viable passing game it is much easier to shut down any run game. No defenses are scared of Bryce's arm. It is what it is.
