For the past few years the top QBs are usually consistently the best QBs in college during their tenure. This is the first year that you have 4-5 QBs going in the 2nd to 5th rounds that at some point in there career could of been 1st round picks. You look at Hackenburg with not much talent yet playing big time teams and ran a pro style offense. You have Cook who was a top QB prospect the last few years than didn't have a talented team last year. Prescott who played for a small school who had to play big time teams. Essentially Mississippi st was like on the longest yard when Crew refers to Appalachia as a warm up game. Yet they became a top team due to Dak. Then you have 11-0 Cardale who made some amazing throws and had a 11-0 record for a powerhouse. Than Paxton who has Jim Kelly like intangibles and looks like possibly the most gifted QB since Newton\Luck is considered the 3rd best QB in the draft. I have to ask why is there so many people saying this was a bad QB class? Remember Wilson, Luck and Newton are the only elite QBs to come out in the past few years
This draft can ve equivalent to the Marino Kelly draft

Re: This draft can ve equivalent to the Marino Kelly draft
There is no way in hell this draft produces three HOF QBs...no way. Especially considering, supported by the 'evidence' presented regarding Wilson, Luck and Newton, colleges aren't supplying the NFL with quality QBs like they used to back in the day.YardRat Wall of Fame

At best this draft will have a QB equivalent to O'Brien or Eason.
The rest of the group will end up like Blackledge or Bruce Mathison - who was selected later in that 83 Draft.

Their is a certain QB who just got drafted who is getting too much credit "cough" "cough BI" "cough" for "leading" his team to a national championship in college

Originally posted by Ginger Vitis View PostEven Blackledge was surprised he was the 2nd QB taken... Penn State the college he played for had just come off winning the national championship so there was a perception he was a winner and that was the deciding factor in the chiefs taken Blackledge over Kelly and Marino..

Originally posted by sudzy View PostThis QB you speak of wouldn't happen be 11-0, would he?
Is that his record in college... hmmm impressive I guess but still think he will be out of the NFL in 5 years
One thing that needs to be remembered is when Elway was coming out of college he was talked about as a "once a decade QB prospect" Goff and Wentz aren't even as good as last years Winston/mariota combo... Sorry Cali this 2016 QB draft class wont even be the best QB class this decade
