In case you missed it: Last 8 Super Bowls won by 1st-round qbs (7 plus Brees)

[whynot]

I'm confused, is someone suggesting that Dallas needs to use it's first round pick this year on a QB?

Cause I don't think that's a very god idea.....

This is exactly all it means. Anyone trying to twist such a cherry picked stat to draw some other conclusion most likely has an agenda (probably a jab at our FO for starting an UDFA at the position).

In this day and age teams know they virtually have no chance to win the SB without a top notch QB, and as a result most teams are willing to burn a top pick on a QB, even if it's a reach.

In the last 5 drafts a total of 15 QB's have been taken in the 1st round. I think all are starters with the exception of Tebow. Every year there's an influx of QB's taken in the 1st, and every one of them will start at some point. When you have that many 1st round QB's getting the opportunity to be NFL starters, then I think it's only natural that most teams that end up in the SB are led by a 1st round pick.

Anyway, I think my real point is it doesn't matter how a team stumbles upon a franchise QB, all that matters is that you have one. Whether it's Tom Brady in the 2nd half of the draft, or Kurt Warner not drafted at all, it really makes no difference. You need the QB to build around, so that you have a TEAM that can contend.

*Another thing to consider- basically all 1st round QB's are given a starting opportunity. All these "diamond in the rough" type guys usually end up starters by circumstance. Obviously Brady got the go when Bledsoe went down. I think Kurt Warner got his chance when Trent Green (I think) got injured. Even Romo had to sit forever. Hell, Kaepernick needed Smith to get a concussion for crying out loud.

players top 100 list had Tebow above Romo....they fail

media last season says Eli is bestQB in NFL.....this season media say Flacco best QB in NFL.......they fail

ill stick with my own opinion thank you......only QBs I have over Romo are Brady, Peyton, Rodgers....there are others i consider in same group as Romo...Flacco, Ben and Eli are not in that group......they are over rated because of rings.....

If the 49ers had won, would Smith count from the bench?

[Nav22]

Jimmy Johnson
Bill Parcells
Troy Aikman
Roger Staubach
Trent Dilfer
Brett Favre
Kurt Warner

Everyone on this list has stated on record that they believe Romo is a championship-level QB.

Show me a comparable list of QB experts who think Romo sucks. Then, and only then, will I even entertain the idea that the guy with the 5th best passer rating in NFL history isn't a tremendous QB.

And I don't give a damn how we got him nearly 10 years ago. Completely irrelevant.

If we spend a 1st rounder on a QB every year for the next decade = dynasty!

Sooo you find the best players in the first round.

Got it!

Why not if we have a 33 year old turnover prone QB? If not now when????

Somehow Eli throwing up a wild duck that gets caught on the helmet of a player nobody has really heard from since provides this thread with evidence?

I think I'll pass.

Very impressive. So we need to grab the 1 out of 9 qb odds in the first rnd . Great argument op lol

Why do people keep insisting that Romo is a championship level QB? I equate championships to conference titles and Super Bowl wins, of which he has none.

Back on topic, our last 3 Super Bowls were won by a 1st round #1 over all pick. Our other 2 were won by someone who would have went 1st round had it not been for a Naval commitment .

I think second ring was more convincing. Everyone knows that the 1st one was luck

2. 13 and under

3. Cowboys homers
