Are you kidding?

Jimmy hardly played, a development player his first year. Drew all but lost his job (remember they had the #1 overall pick and they chose a QB). Peyton was horrible. Zach was a back up until his 7th year (correct me if I am wrong). Favre was traded and sucked until his fourth year. Read the links my man... There are tons more these were just a couple of Saints players and Hall of Famer's off the top of my head. This is very much a development league, you draft potential as well as ready to play players.

Terry Bradshaw couldn't beat out Joe Gilliam early in his career. Bradshaw is in the HOF. Otoh, people are probably asking "Who was Joe Gilliam?"

Meh I still disagree, obviously there are a lot of caveats and angles to what I'm trying to say. You have to judge early years relative to early years and so on. Expectations come into play aswell... like strief followed the expected path for a good 7th round pick. The eye test is king.

I don't remember ever thinking man team made a big mistake drafting with Jimmy or Peyton. Admittedly, I don't know much about Drew's career in san diego other than he didn't start out the gates and he got hurt but his stats don't look like complete bust to me.

I have no idea the situation around Favre in ATL, maybe you're right, I was 4

Joe horn is a valid for sure.

I'll play the %'s
