1.He must be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback.

2.He must be a graduate, because you want someone who takes his responsibilities seriously.

3.He must be a three-year starter, because you need to make sure his success wasn’t ephemeral and that he has lived as “the guy” for some period of time.

4.He must have at least 23 wins, because the big passing numbers must come in the context of winning games.

Blatant Homerism also notes that, of the seven quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl in the 2000s, five — Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning and Trent Dilfer — met all four requirements when drafted.

This is new information.

So Parcells doesn't know what he is talking about because you deem his perspective invalid, antiquated, dated, or you really have never seen this before? Because Parcells really needs your endorsement here.

This same bit was discussed in a newton article I read yesterday. It showed recent history from a different angle, mentioning that something like 5 or 6 first round qbs of this decade fit that profile and using it as an example of how it worka (implying those qbs are good). But if you look at the list (I'm using my phone ATM, I'll look up the article when I get home from work) only 1 or 2 of them are actually good. Big Ben and Phillip rivers. The others were like David garrard, Matt leinart, Eli manning and a couple other mid tier guys. That fact disproved the method just as much as the super bowl fact proves it.

Andrew Luck would have met none of these requirements if he came out.

Ah, but Luck didn't come out this year. And by the time he does, he likely will meet pretty much all of them.

On the rules themselves though, I'm not sure I buy the "must be a senior" or "must be a graduate" argument anymore. I get why he says it, and there's logic to it, but there are guys who have come out as juniors and been successful.

Don't know that I buy into "three year starter" either because they're rare these days, but I'd agree that a two-year starter is better than a one-year starter.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
