For me, its not about throwing away every QB until you find one that is elite. I would take ANY QB in the first 3 tiers, pay him, and roll with him. Romo was there and good enough for me. I know some think you need an elite QB, but history shows that is not the case.
Here is my current order up to 16:
Tier 1. (Elite)
1. Mahones
2. Rogers
3. Brady
4. Brees
5. Wilson
Tier 2.
6. Rothlisberger
7. Jackson (somewhat of a gimmick QB. Needs a system completely designed for his running style)
8. Watson
Tier 3
9. Stafford
10.Garrapolo
11. Dak
12. Ryan
13. Goff
Tier 4.
14. Wentz
15. Cousins
16. Rivers
My QB theory is that you pay and roll with anyone in those top 3 tiers. I would also note that anyone in that third tier you could change around the order and they are generally in the same level of QB. Wentz I would put in the 3rd tier, but he is hurt too often. Rivers is on his last leg. I highlighted the guys in red that in a year or two will probably retire. I put the guys in blue that represent the youngest QB's.
I would also note that I would NEVER stop drafting QB's and developing young QB's even if I had a franchise QB. Position is too important.
