Quote:Of the last 15 drafts here are the QB's selected #1 overall. You tell me if losing now is worth the continued disappointment of not getting better. And before you say well Bridgewater or Mariota or Manziel are light years better you can't verify that based upon college stats because all of these guys were "can't miss" prospects.

 

Tim Couch

Mike Vick

David Carr

Carson Palmer

Eli Manning

Alex Smith

Jamarcus Russell

Matt Stafford

Sam Bradford

Cam Newton

Andrew Luck

 

If you're looking to continue losing so we get the #1 pick for QB you're rolling the dice at the expense of continuing developing a losing culture in the locker room. Of that list only Eli Manning has won a Super Bowl and that's mostly due to good coaching and defense. Many here would not consider Eli even elite.

 

Of that list I would only consider Eli, Luck, and Stafford worth losing for and they are already NFL proven, not college propect.

Quote:You keep cherry picking Troy Aikman. Dude that was 30 years ago when power football was the formula for success. Who did Troy have running behind him again? Oh that's right, Emmitt Smith. He also had Alvin Harper, Moose Johnson, Jay Novacek, Mike Irvin, Deion Sanders, Rocket Ismail, Joey Galloway. You keep insisting the #1 pick is going to turn into Troy freakin Aikman.

 

I gave you 15 recent drafts and one, ONE, QB has won the Super Bowl. ONE. There are 53 individuals in that locker room who have emotions, and desires, and wills to either give up or give it all. You keep wanting them to give up. It was Tom Coughlin who told me "Losing, like winning, is contagious." Do you ever notice how good teams find ways to win, while bad teams find ways to lose?

 

Losing is for losers. There's no other way to spin it. Losing is for losers. Nobody will ever dislodge me from that opinion.

No, the Aikman comparison is a good one because at that time Aikman was seen as one of the better QB prospects available for at least a few years either side of when he was drafted. 

 

Of the list you provide above, how many of those QB are the kind of prospect Bridgewater is? 

 

Maybe Newton and Luck. Thats pretty much it. Stafford wasn't even seen as the kind of elite prospect that Bridgewater is.
