Right! That’s why I hate these threads. Do I think Dak is a bad QB? No. Do I act like he’s incredible? No. He’s a good QB at this point who can win you games but has trouble against top talent/big games. It’s the Romo knock. I’d put him more 11 or 12 but that’s 2-3 spots so nothing to name call about. Real HOF players have expressed concerns as I quoted. I have the same concerns especially since like what…correct me if I’m wrong..like 2 QBs have ever made their first SB after year 6.
Okay.. you're wrong..
Jim Plunkett made his first Super Bowl in 1980 - year 10 for him.
Joe Theisman made his first Super Bowl in 1982 - year 9 for him
Phil Simms made his first Super Bowl in 1986 - year 7 for him.
Doug Williams made his first Super Bowl in 1987 - year 10 for him
Steve Young made his first Super Bowl in 1994 - year 9 for him
Chris Chandler made his first Super Bowl in 1999 - year 12 for him
Rich Gannon made his first Super Bowl in 2002 - year 14 for him ironically he lost to Brad Johnson that same year.. who was in his 13th year ... also in his first Super Bowl.
Peyton Manning made his first Super Bowl in 2006 - year 8 for him.
Drew Brees made his first Super Bowl in 2009 - year 9 for him
Hell the last Super Bowl was won by a QB in his 13th year making his first..
Shall I go on or will you go ahead and take back your ridiculous absolute now?
This is not meant as an attack on you though and I apologize if it came off that way. It's attack on people getting these narratives locked in their heads and spouting them as fact without doing 5 minutes of homework.. and then having a few hundred idiots cosigning the fallacies. The fact of the matter experienced QBs are far more likely to get to the Super Bowl than the kids. But the narrative is that you gotta have a QB on a rookie deal or you have no chance. And people keep repeating it despite all the factual information to the contrary. Mahomes and Wilson are the only two QBs in the past decade to win a Super Bowl on a rookie deal. Though I guess technically you could count Flacco since he was on the 5th year option of his. I guess 3 out of 10 are better odds than 7 out of 10 in this debate? If that's what people wanna believe then who am I to rain on their parade. But I would flunk any math class that tells me that 30% is greater than 70%.
