Denver, Tampa and Seattle all have top half of the NFL QBs.

Denver 8-9

Seattle 9-8

Tampa 9-8 

You're helping my point. Mediocrity is all that many teams have. In the offseason their coaches dream and scheme.

I will be bummed if the Pats miss out on Maye. Daniels could be great but more guesswork there I think

I hope the Bears trade down with both the Redskins, then the Pats. Then you can get Maye. 

Probably won't happen though.

The one thing we know is the Bears will screw it up.

That is their past. But I trust Poles so....good luck to you patriot fans. 

[Bert 1,098]

Patriot fan????

It is their past......the last 35 years.

But yeah the odds are they will get it right this time.  

[lickin_starfish 1,484]

As a Giants fan, I predict that Draft coverage will go to a commercial break right after pick #5, and will resume at pick #7. In the meantime, the Giants will have chosen a  5'8" slot receiver.

I read an article last week where they said that Maye was this years Will Levis and would be the one to fall in the draft. I can kinda see that because he's not going to wow at the combine like Williams and Daniels will. 

It's going to be an interesting combine and draft.

Failing to learn from the past will continue to result in failure.  

What, other than homerism, leads you to believe the Bears will suddenly draft a good QB?

Ryan Poles. It has nothing to do with homerism. That's your world.

Then you know he has a lot of work to do. The Bears haven't had a really good QB since Sid Luckman.

Poles did some good work in KC.

Interesting analogy.

We’ll find out this next season if Levis is any good.

I like Levis, I think he's going to a very good pro.

And seriously I get it. The Bears have sucked at QB. But it's nit easy if you don't hit on a 20+ year gold mine in the 5th round. Let's see all the GOAT QBs that get picked this years.

I must be bored because I just took a list of every QB drafted from 2010-2022 by draft class and started color coding then based on whether they became (or seem like) franchise QBs, average starters, or low end starters / borderline backups.

I ignored players who may have spot started but are basically career backups like Tyrod Taylor. He’s definitely a “hit” for a 6th round pick but not a QB anyone has ever wanted to start.

Of the 150 QBs drafted in this time frame, about 25% overall fell into one of these three categories, which I will call “serviceable” but includes anyone from a low end multi year starter up through a franchise QB.

Of the 43 QBs taken in Round 1, about 55% were serviceable and a surprising 28% were franchise QBs - above average for a period of 3 years or more.

Of the 107 QBs drafted outside Round 1, 13% were serviceable and 5% were franchise QBs - a total of five quarterbacks.

My conclusion is the bust rate is high among first round quarterbacks, but it’s WAY higher outside the first and your best shot at a franchise signal caller is to draft him in Round 1.

Thus concludes my Ted Talk. Science!

Dak has Jerry by the ball sack. :

He'll be the highest paid player in NFL history soon. 

Dak is the opposite of Eli Manning. 

Eli = average reg season. Clutch in playoffs.
