QB or Pass Rusher for our 1st round pick?

LOL  You're welcome to do that research if you'd like and give us a report on it but what Monsters posted will give you a rough idea and answer your question gbph.

Part of the problem is top 5 QBs are often drafted by crappy teams with bad coaching, end up playing before they're ready, end up playing in a bad offense, and fail to ever reach the potential some saw for them had it all worked out differently.

I've said this before.  Supposing we had drafted Aaron Rodgers in 2005 and instead of him sitting for three years before he replaced Favre he started for us immediately instead of Grossman?  How well do you think Rodgers would have fared playing with the Bears offenses behind the Bears OL with the Bears WRs since then?

Teams can draft on talent but at this level how that talent is developed and supported will have the most impact on their careers and the team.  GB has ALWAYS done a far better job of developing and supporting their QBs than we have.  If we could have done that we would never have traded for Cutler to begin with because Grossman and Orton would have been more than enough.

With the exception of Mac and Cutler we haven't had a true top QB since Sid Luckman and we've been terrible at drafting and developing them yet somehow Bears fans think this will all magically change if we draft one in the top five next year.  I guess most of them haven't been around as long as I have.  LOL

I'll give it a shot. Using 2000-2016 as my basis.

By QB record (which is a stat I hate but others seem to value for some reason) here are the QBs over .500

21 players drafted in picks 1-5

Eli Manning (99-87)
P.Rivers (93-70)
Palmer (84-78)
Ryan (76-53)
Smith (70-53-1)
Vick (61-51-1)
Newton (46-34)
Sanchez (37-35)
Luck (36-22)
V.Young (31-19)

So 9 out of 21 (I dropped Sanchez because....really?) 9/21=43%

Everyone else: 192 drafted with picks 6-end of draft

Brady 172-51
Wilson 47-19
Rogers 84-40
Roethlisberger 115-57
Dalton 51-28
Flacco 78-47
Bridgewater 17-11
Kaeperenick 27-20
Brees 124-95
Pennington 44-37
Foles 19-16
Grossman 25-22
Q.Carter 18-16
Garrard 39-37
Orton 42-40
Schaub 47-45

Thats all she wrote folks: 16/192=8%

Here are the guys that I didn't put in that due to small numbers of games started I didn't include: Sieman, Garoppolo, Brissett, Drew Henson, Stephen McGee, Brock Osweiler, Dennis Dixon, AJ McMarron, Dak Prescott, Craig Krenzel, Drew Stanton, Tim Tebow, TJ Yates

If you want you include them thats 29/162=18%

and 138 of them never even got a start as an NFL QB. 

I'm willing to use whatever stat to want to re-run the numbers. 

Jay was saying in the off-season that he and Loggains got together and threw out what didn't work well, and kept what did... like they tweaked things.  LOL, maybe they threw out the good stuff by mistake :-)

No once they throw out what didn't work there was nothing left.
