No One Knows Anything About Drafting Quarterbacks

Isn't it funny to see three guys at the top of the QB list this week who weren't even starting at the beginning of the year? I'm talking about Matt Cassel, Kerry Collins, and Shaun Hill.

I'm sure none of you drafted any of these guys haha. It juts proves that in the NFL and in all the FFL leagues none of us really knows anything about quarterbacks! Maybe we know something...but success at this position requires an amazing combination of skills, the right team, the right coaches and offense, and luck.

The thing is to look at who these guys replaced. OK, Cassel was a complete fluke because no one would have predicted that Tom Brady was going out for the season. But the other two guys replaced guys who weren't that strong to begin with.

So if you didn't pick quarterbacks who have been consistently good, solid players, then you can't complain about missing out on Kerry and Shaun. I see Shaun remaining consistent, because he's a gamer with a cool head. Kerry is having the season of his career, so good for him. He's fitting in perfectly at this stage of his career with that system.
