QB is so hard to evaluate and I’ve given up saying who will be good or not in the NFL.

That being said, I never understood the love for Tua Tagovailoa.

The Trubisky pick still blows my mind.

Everyone but the Bears knew that was outrageous.

Tebow
Manziel

The two most obvious ones I’d say

Christian Ponder easily. I played against him in High School and he sucked

Not first round but I remember Mel Kiper having an aneurism and was flabbergasted that Jimmy Clausen did not go in the first round.

Sam Darnold- dude was very sloppy in college, and the hype never made sense.

Johnny Manziel- there have been dozens just like him in college, who got away with the circus act, only to be exposed in the NFL. He was an obvious one.

Marcus Mariota- Had all the ear markings of a college system QB who lacked any elite skill for the position. But at least he can run, like ol' Johnny Football.

Every Ohio State QB.

Every Alabama QB. (Mac Jones MAY finally be a competent NFL QB from there, but there's still plenty of time for regression. We'll see with him.)

Every Florida QB.

Chad Henne.

I really thought he would be a 10-15 yr.startet in the league.



Sam Darnold

Great thread idea, OP.

Matt Jones. Solid QB at Ark who was taken in the first as a WR because he was big and ran a fast 40.

JeMarcus Russell and Trubisky were both horrible picks

Players like Manziel who play ad hoc football never succeed in the NFL. Knew before his senior year he'd be a bust.

Name a Carolina Panther pick, any pick.

Does LSU field a QB position?
