Quote:Your odds are only 50/50 that a first round pick will hit even, ~20% a day 2 QB will hit, and less than 5% that a day 3 QB will hit. It's not easy to find good QBs, but if you don't have one you don't win titles without extreme circumstances.


Also, who is considering Dalton a success? He is the exact definition of QB purgatory. The Bengals are in a terrible situation because they have a SB caliber team being held back by an average QB...and it's going to be even worse because they're probably going to be forced to give him a 100 million dollar 2nd contract after he 'leads' them to another playoff appearance next year. That's what makes QB purgatory so dangerous. While they're on their cheap rookie deals is not that bad, but then the teams relative success forces teams to give them the big 2nd deal and then that team is in cap hell with a very expensive average QB.

I consider it a success. I'll take 9-7, 10-6, and 11-5 over our record any day... Who cares about the Super Bowl , they atleast made the playoffs. I guess you're ignoring the fact they have Super Bowl talent bc they waited on Dalton... All you focus on is oh he sucks. Well how is he winning if he sucks? Oh his teamis great ? Why are they great because they drafted the better talent earlier ? You're just making my point when you say they have super bowl talent, thanks


I guess Andy dalton is any worse than those contracts to your wonderful first round picks... Matt Ryan , Eli, Flacco...
