Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
I'd love to get Watson, but what we would have to give up for him is likely to be far too great. And not every great QB is a 1st round pick. Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Joe Theismann, Rodger Staubach, Ken Stabler, Johnny Unitas, and Bart Starr -- all Superbowl winning QBs, and not one of them was a 1st round pick. And this leaves a lot of other talented guys off the list -- Dak Prescott, Fran Tarkenton, Mark Brunell, Brad Johnson, and Mark Rypien come to mind. And, of course, there are a lot of 1st round busts -- and we've had more than our fair share of them (Haskins, Shuler, Ramsey, Campbell). I don't buy that the only way for us to get a franchise QB is to trade or trade up in the draft.
