WOW. I don't know how you guys find this stuff cause I simply googled it and couldn't find it. I figured the statistical data would prove me right that the majority of the good QB's were drafted in the top few rounds and you pretty much proved it.
I'm not saying we can't find a decent QB down in the draft further but those are hard to find. If we are finally saying JC is not a Franchise QB but is good enough until we get one or that he is a decent back up then we most likely would need to either look for one in FA or draft one at #4 this year.
I also hope everyone gets off the "hey we are one person away from the play offs" routine. If we look at it as a "rebuilding" process, even though the team hates the word "rebuild", then expectations will be lower and fans will be excited to see Shanny get more then 4 wins next year we should be ok.
