@Prodigal Syndicate's views on picking QBs because, although the majority of starting QBs are first rounders, sometimes QBs who turn out good can drop to the 2nd and 3rd round. Given the importance of the QB position, it only make sense to roll the dice and draft a QB as often as possible in these rounds.
Personally I think the NFL needs to really re-evaluate the way the league is run.
Its the same teams making the playoffs/going deep almost every season now.
Theyve tailored the rules to passing offense so much now that it doesnt really matter that the salary cap is in place. In their attempt to create parity/push qbs theyve created one of the most,if not the most,predictable league in sports.
Because of the restrictions in salary cap and rules theyve made it so having an elite qb gives you such an unfair advatnage its made the league awful.
The quality of football was horrendous this season. The number of bad teams is staggering. Yeah the playoffs have been good,but thats because you only have a handful of good teams.
And when a team does against this pattern by building an elite defense ie. Seattle and denver,they only have a 1-2 year window because they simply can't afford to keep the defense together.
Its possible to win without an elite qb,but your window is so tiny.
And elite qbs are so few and far between that teams are desperately latching onto to any first round qb,who in any other era would be garbage but thanks to this inflated era guys like matt stafford,matt ryan,jay cutler get chance after chance even though its painfully obvious they will never get it done.
