re: Nate Silver: It’s Time For Drew Brees And The Saints To Break Up

quote:

someone should put together a list of all the QBs drafted or signed since Drew came to town where the teams that drafted them were hoping they would be their next franchise QB, and then we can all look at the list and decide if that's a lottery we're excited about playing right now.

Ask and ye shall receive. Here are the first-rounders since Drew came to town:

2006 - Vince Young, Jay Cutler, Matt Leinart
2007 - JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn
2008 - Vanilla Ice, Joe Flacco
2009 - Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman
2010 - Sam Bradford, Tim Tebow
2011 - Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder
2012 - Andrew Luck, RG3, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden
2013 - EJ Manuel

I didn't do 2014 or 2015 because the jury's still out.
