Excellent post! I knew we ignored the QB position but this is just another in the long list of failures by this inept front office. I’ve been crying to draft QBs for years. It also wouldn’t hurt to bring in some viable alternatives in free agency. It’s like they’re scared to hurt the starters feelings. Competition only makes you better and the cream will always rise to the top.
That’s a fair point.I thought I made it clear, I am not disagreeing with the fact that the Cowboys have not used significant resources, specifically in the draft as mentioned by the OP, to improve the QB position.
Yet the OP also listed the Broncos that have drafted a lot of QBs and have been very successful because of it, when quite the opposite is true. They have SUCKED at drafting QBs.
The only amount of any success the Broncos have had in the 2000's is because totally different team drafted a QB to replace their aging HOF QB, and then was subsequently released.
I'm just not a fan of using bad data to defend or prove a point. And in this case, using Denver to prove drafting QBs = success is flat out false.
Again, for the FOURTH TIME, I don't disagree with the OP's premise.
But lets also acknowledge that Denver drafting a bunch of QB NEVER lead to any of their success in the 2000's (so far), which the OP tried to imply.
If that screams to you "sAcKmAsTeR sUpPoRtS jErRy'S aPpRoAcH tO tHe Qb SiTuAtIoN", then that's a you problem since I said nothing of the sort.
AC, I can only speak for myself, but I’m neither a “Dak hater” nor do I think we don’t have lots of positions of need. We certainly do. I’m just saying it’s hard to find a greatQB if you so rarely draft one.But the Dak haters want ANOTHER QB drafted as well. To hell with so many other positions of need.
And been rewarded by finding a QB to bring them a championship. Trash Prescott has held this team back! And will continue too until his choking arse is gone.
Yea, all the QBs the Pats drafted really made a difference for them.
But they pay em like they are a FA SB Quarterback
What about the Ravens and Chiefs?
Drafting a QB in the later rounds is pointless. Look at all the 2nd round busts Jerry has drafted that could of just as well been a QB. Jerry loves to just throw darts at those 2nd rounders.
What about them?
What Im saying is IF the front office thinks they have a franchise QB with 5-8 more years left to play, they will not use a 1st rounder on a QB.
Roethlisberger is a first ballot hall of fame who was playing well even in his later years - and Pittsburgh did spend a third-rounder on Rudolph in 2018. I'm sure they wish they'd done more to strengthen that position before then. The Chargers spent a third rounder on a QB two years after they drafted Rivers. The Falcons no doubt regret not spending any halfway significant draft capital on a QB before they finally parted ways with Ryan. Of course, the thing with these guys - especially Big Ben and Ryan - is that they actually made deep playoff runs. Once you have a guy you know can take you where you want to go, you do your best to maximize the number of years you can contend with them (ideally while not abandoning the position in the draft). Then of course you have the Packers, the aforementioned Niners and Eagles. Pretty unbelievable for the Packers to go from Favre to Rogers and now to Love...we could be looking at about 40 years of unbroken QB greatness there if Love keeps improving. All because they weren't afraid to swing and miss on a QB even though they already had a damn good one.
