With all this talk of Barkley, I get a bit uneasy. First off these SoCal QB’s haven’t exactly been ripping it up in the NFL lately, secondly it seems the prettier they are the harder they fall (I’m not talking to you Rob Johnson, you just thought you were pretty).
I think when it comes to good looking QB’s there’s a lack of work ethic, these guys are used to everything coming easy, so when the talent level jumps in the NFL they don’t have the drive to get better, they still get the endorsement deals, make millions and get women. I want my QB studying film not posing for GQ with a bunch of goats.
I want the grunts… I want the Aaron Rodgers over the Alex Smith’s, I want the Matt Schaub’s over the JP Losman’s, I want the Jay Cutler’s over the Matt Leinhart’s…
Let’s take a look at the recent draft history.
2012 we had two clear cut top flight QB’s Andrew Luck (1) and RGIII (2). Both look like extras from the Lord of the Rings. Then you can throw in my mom cuts my hair Wilson (75).
2011 we had a boat load of “starting caliber” QB’s drafted. It was the uglies who turned out to be the winners. Locker (8), Gabbert (10) and Ponder (12) were over-run by the read headed step-child Dalton(35), and the tattooed wonder Kaepernick (36).
2010 most of the QB’s sucked, but the pretty boys sucked the loudest… Tebow (25)and Clausen (48)
2009 Josh Freeman (17) easily outshines Mark Sanchez (5)
2008 two franchise QB’s we’re taken… snaggle tooth Matty Ice (3) and Monsta-brau Joe Flacco (18), neither are breaking any hearts outside of the hash marks.
So let’s look across the league and see how the leading men are leading their teams…
