I wanted to go through and declare the best QB picked in the first round in every three year window going back to 1991.

1991-1993
Brett Favre

1992-1994
Drew Bledsoe

1993-1995
Steve McNair

1994-1996
Steve McNair

1995-1997
Steve McNair

1996-1998
Peyton Manning

1997-1999
Peyton Manning

1998-2000
Peyton Manning

1999-2001
Chad Pennington OR Drew Brees

2000-2002
Chad Pennington OR Drew Brees

2001-2003
Carson Palmer OR Drew Brees

2002-2004
Philip Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger

2003-2005
Philip Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger

2004-2006
Philip Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger

2005-2007
Aaron Rodgers or Jay Cutler or Vince Young or Jason Campbell or Kevin Kolb or something

2006-2008
Matt Ryan

2007-2009
Matt Ryan

If you don't count anyone in my hodgepodge mess of 2005-2007 where I don't feel there's a clear cut best quarterback drafted in those three years (most would say Rodgers, but that's based on this year alone...I'd go Young, gun to my head, also based on this year alone), there's been 10 different passers to lead this category since 1991, but 16 different opportunities.

Basically, I think there's been a lot of underwhelming quarterback classes. At times, the league has gone more than three years without a surefire success story at QB, and even moving Matt Ryan to that category might be a little premature.
