With four quarterbacks selected among the first 12 picks of the 2011 draft -- including Cam Newton who after only 13 career starts at the FBS level was drafted No. 1 overall -- teams clearly recognize the correlation between winning and the presence of a franchise passer.
Perhaps never in the history of the NFL were so many hotly debated quarterbacks off the board as quickly as they were in April.
For all of the upside Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder possess, no one should rush to compare the 2011 class to the 1983 group topped by John Elway, Dan Marino and Jim Kelly
