There have been 150 quarterbacks drafted in the first 3 rounds since 2007. Only 9 (6%) have made it to a Super Bowl.

The absolute frequency of a quarterback playing in a Super Bowl is low, regardless of draft round.
Since 2007, 11 quarterbacks drafted in the first 3 rounds have started for a team in the Super Bowl___
2008: Ryan, Flacco - both in the 1st round
2009: Stafford - 1st
2011: Newton - 1st, Kaepernick - 2nd
2012: Foles - 3rd
2014: Garoppolo - 2nd
2016: Goff - 1st
2017: Mahomes - 1st
2020: Burrows - 1st, Hurts - 2nd

Where is Wentz? He made a SB too.

We should be using our premium draft picks to build around the good QB we have, because we’ve made progress the last two seasons. That’s how we have a chance to get better. If Dak craps the bed this season, then we reevaluate.
IF? Two years ago, he didn't know the rules of a game he has played his whole life. Last year, he choked out again. You can not wait until he chokes out for a third or fourth time. So if you do, then you dak guys will go all crazy if a new guy comes in straight out of college and doesn't win the super bowl his first year. I know you said you are not a dak fan. Come on, you hate romo and you are not a dak fan. Why is it so hard for you dak fans to say you hate romo and have put all your eggs in a basket hoping dak can win something so you can blame Romo? Again don't say either one of my statements is wrong I read the romo threads.

be honest

Eli in 07 payoffs- 4 games, 854 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT, 95.7 QBR

Flacco having the greatest playoff run ever for a QB - 4 games, 1,140 yards, 11 TDs, 0 INTs, 117.2 QBR

Dak fans continue to prove they are clueless when it comes to the QB position.
naw they are Romo haters, if Tim Tebow came out the year we picked dak and we picked Tim they would be bragging about how Tim was great and his great stats It is what it is. Moore can design good plays for Tim, Tim has nobody to throw to. The offensive line is bad,,the running backs, the tight ends, the defense,,,,yada, yada,.... poor ole Tim


Tim's a leader even opposing teams and players love Tim.....yada, yada?

You’re getting completely off topic lol. This has nothing to do with the original statement you made.
Absolutely it does. There’s a definite reason why no day 3 or undrafted QB has started a Super Bowl in 13 years. That’s 26 consecutive guys… other than the exception of all exceptions

Duh, for one of these guys to be taking in the 1st and 2nd rounds to win the super bowl is very hard. They are usually picked by the worst teams in the NFL. If some don't understand that statement, the worst teams get to pick first.
You see these dak homers crying about Lawerence, duh, they get picked by crappy teams. losers like dak come into a good team. These losers are usually picked as projects and backups.

It’s because nobody has been good enough to even do it….who in the past 10 years has been good as Dak and been in the fourth round or later? Romo and Dak were in a company of their own. Teams don’t find players this good in the 4th round or as a undrafted rookie. If they had the 2016 draft all over again Dak would go 1.

Makes no difference. The proof is in the first post. you need to draft a QB high if you want the best chance to find an elite one. Busts don't mean you give up on the best methods as no plan is ever going to be perfect.
Yes, I get it. You have a better chance of winning the SB with a great QB, and the best QBs coming out of college are taken in the first round. But, drafting a QB in the first round does not mean he will be great or that he will win a Super bowl. I am saying a lot of teams, in fact it is the majority of teams, that spent a first round pick on a QB did not make it to the SB.

Then you have teams like the Rams and Eagles who traded up to draft Goff and Wentz, both of whom went to a SB and both were cast off by their teams. Except for Brady which QBs elevated their teams to the Super Bowl without good players around them?

Look, I am not denying that in today's NFL you need a franchise QB. Jimmy Johnson made this point to Bill Belichick on his boat in "A Football Life". It used to be a plus to have a great QB. Today it is practically a necessity because of the rules. What I am saying is that using a 1st round pick to take a QB fails more often than it succeeds.

That’s kind of the point of this whole thread. Even as good as Dak is, he’s still a fringe top 10 QB. That’s the best QB we’ve had taken in… 15 years(?) outside of the first two days of the draft.

It’s extraordinarily unlikely to make or win a Super Bowl without a day 1 or 2 QB when the ceiling for all other options is Dak Prescott

This is silly though. There have been exceptions. Brady was an exception. Kurt Warner was an exception. And who’s to say Dak can’t be? History says the Eagles won’t win the NFC East since there have been no back to back NFC East champions since 2003…..so I guess Eagles have no shot huh?

If history was invoking more than the actions of 3 other teams, it would be more concerning. We’re talking about all 32 teams in every Super Bowl over… 15+ years?

So either consider the value the Chiefs and the Bengals and the Bills and the Now Jets are getting out of their commitments to highly drafted QBs or… expect Dak to start playing like Tom Brady. Whichever seems more realistic

And you think a first overall pick means you won’t have to worry? You are always going to have to worry about the toughest position in the NFL.
First off. QB is far from the toughest position
May require the most skill, but not toughest.

Yes having all the tools means with the correct system and coaching you don't need to worry about your QB costing you the game.

Wrong on both counts. I don't like Dak as our QB. I'm hoping he is not extended after this year.

I don't care about the stats. Eli and the Giants beat two 13-3 teams and an undefeated Patriots team in the super bowl. This shouldn't even be debatable. I don't care if Flacco passed for 10,000 yards, he didn't face what Eli faced. This isn't even close. If you took a poll on who had the greater run you'd be disappointed. It would be something like 90% Eli and the Giants.

07 isn't even Eli's best playoff run.

There is a very low amount of people that don't consider what Flacco did to be the greatest run ever for a QB in the playoffs. I guess you like to be different.

Everyone knows the Giants defense is why they won those Super Bowls. Flacco didn't have that luxury. He had to have the greatest run ever for the Ravens to win, and he did it.

except for pulling Brady completely out of the topic of Super Bowl QBs
Sorry, but that misrepresents the data

Having said that, I agree that taking a QB in the first three rounds normally gets youa better a QB---imagine that
