Sigh, I've watching football for a lot of my life including having season tickets to old Municipal stadium back in the mid 1980's.
Things have changed so much in the NFL in reference to what a drafted QB is supposed to do. Look at a couple of Cleveland's better quarterbacks... Brian Sipe was a 13th round draft pick and Bernie Kosar was also drafted in the later rounds; I think round 7 or there are some that say the Browns got him in the supplemental draft.
Shoot, look at Brady. If not for an injury to Drew Bledsoe Brady might be just a footnote.
Things have changed a lot in the NFL concerning the QB position. In today's NFL a team now tends to draft a college star QB and have him start right away to get an offense going. Personally I think this is garbage. If I were starting an NFL team my first offensive concern would be the offensive line. Second would be receivers and a decent running back. Now I have the tools for the offense so I can, now, look for a QB that will fit well with the offensive basics I've already accomplished. Too many think that the QB is the most important person on the field but it just isn't true. On offense the most important is the line especially the left tackle. On defense it is also the line.
