Define bust. For that matter define franchise. Is Ryan Tannehill a franchise QB? I think if he were a Bills QB we would be desperate to replace him.

It's worth noting that every draft has QB duds in the first round. 

No its not. The bills are going to make a mistake if they trade up, its all but guaranteed.

 

That's why they should stay pat and draft a guard and DT, so we can continue to suck for the next 15-20 years.

I happens. It is one of the most difficult positions in sports. It's hard to do physically and mentally. Colleges do not do a good job of preparing these kids, and generally they get drafted by teams that suck. Then they get thrown into the fire too quickly, develop terrible habits, and flame out. When there are only about 10-12 good quarterbacks in the NFL, it tells you how hard it is. 

 

But it is also about opportunity, fit, and coaching. How many of these guys started too soon for coaches who got fired?

 

I mean if Trent Edwards got drafted by New England he'd probably still be in the league. 

 

Steve Mariucci completely ruined both Giovanni Carmazzi and Joey Harrington. If Gio got drafted by New England in the sixth round, maybe history is quite different. 

 

If Mo Lewis doesn't blow up Drew Bledsoe's spleen, we probably never even hear of Brady. If San Diego doesn't move on from Brees, giving him to Sean Patyton, Brees' career is probably quite different.  

 

A lot of things have to go right, but first you have to have the talent. Once they are in your building it is on the organization and player to make it work.

And the hits from that same time period include:

 

Eli Manning - 2 Super Bowl rings

Ben Roethlisberger - 2 Super Bowl rings

Aaron Rodgers - 1 Super Bowl ring

Joe Flacco - 1 Super Bowl ring

Carson Wentz - 1 Super Bowl ring

Not to mention guys like Matt Ryan and Cam Newton, who got their teams very close to winning a championship.

 

 

If you want to succeed, you can't be afraid of failing.  I would rather swing for the fences and strikeout, as opposed to playing it safe and stockpiling talent at other positions.

Or....Draft a QB that falls to them.

Every few weeks we get another list of QB draft busts and every few weeks I have to repeat that, while interesting, it is totally irrelevant to this draft and these prospects and these teams.
