Super Bowl winning QBs...
 

Sorry if repost...

26-of-46 Super Bowl winning teams had starting QBs taken in the first round of the draft (56%...56 ****ing percent). Of those, 22 were taken in the Top-10 picks, the area of the board where teams hope to find their franchise guys. And 33% of Super Bowl winning QBs are #1 overall picks. A total of 14 first round QBs have been named the Super Bowl MVP.

Dead horse isn't dead enough yet.

The supper bowl winner was a #1 over all.
Da Raiders!

yeah, but with a udfa we get all of the hope and none of the risk or actual success

#winwin

Q

Oh this will be good...

So basically you are describing Alex Smith, correct?

Wasn't Alex Smith a 1st round top 10 pick? :)

This has definitely never been discussed here before.

My bad. Forgive me for I doubted y'all.

No worries. It's only discussed every year when the Chiefs pass on the QB position in the draft.

Where's the jersey pic when you need one?

So we're playing the odds with a qb taken at 1.1?

And how many won for the team that drafted them?

I think it's something like 51% of the SBs being won by HOF QBs, so no. And then you've got all the SB's from the last decade being won by future HOFer's besides probably Flacco.

Statistically we do have a shot with Alex Smith mainly due to his draft position. Its small and the chance to win more than one or even play in more than one is smaller.

None of those QBs were HOF worthy until they won a SB except maybe Elway so.....

Joe is a good name for a QB.

Billy Joe, not so much.

So if we had taken Geno at 1.1 he would have been a likely SB winner, but since he was taken in the 2nd he probably won't be? Is that what the OP is trying to say?

Good thing we have a QB taken at 1.1.

Good thing we have a #1 pick leading the team.

@draftbreakdown: David Fales would make sense for KC. Hyper-accurate w/ good feet (both important attributes for a WCO QB) http://t.co/ABi3ojQvlf

Fales is a bad name for a QB.

Lol no joke.

Heh was about to post something like this.


The ironic thing is that people are now saying we should have drafted Geno even though he was a 2nd round QB.

At least we didn't get that 2nd round QB Geno Smith.

Nope. Never been posted around here in 13 years.

I've only been around for 12 of them, so I missed the first year it was discussed ;)

so basically, you're naming Alex Smith a championship potential QB -- correct :D

It's simple.
Don't draft your franchise qb in the 1st round and you are going against the odds to win a sb.

Whatever, what percentage of 1st round QB's have actually won a super bowl?

/Truebluetradition

How many of those winning teams took a Right Tackle in the top ten?

Not many, so the Chiefs are thinking out of the box and will set new standards. They will be copied by other teams... well maybe and maybe not.

Alex Smith was a first-round QB!

Success!

In general one should try to find a QB with three letters in their name:

Joe
Dan
Len
Ken
Bob
Tom
Ben

But longer names of one syllable often work well:

Bart
John
Steve
Fran
Brett
Troy

Every Super Bowl from 15 to 40 was won by a QB with a one syllable first name.

Out of 46 Super Bowls only the only multi-syllable first named QBs to win are Roger, Terry, Peyton, Aaron, and Eli (three letters!).

It appears than first names ending in "n" are also good names for QBs.

Drew?

Alex is a bad name for a QB.

1. More that 3 letters
2. 2 syllables
3. doesn't end in an "n"
4. begins with a vowel

No one has ever won a Super Bowl with this combination of features.

It's not exhaustive, but shows a correlation. Drew is one syllable, which seems to be the best predictor.

106 quarterbacks have been selected in the first round (or the first round of the supplemental draft) since 1967, the first year of the Super Bowl.

15 have won Super Bowls, which means 14% of all QB's taken in the first round have won a Super Bowl.

Of those 15 Super Bowl winning QB's taken in the first round four (27%) won with a team that didn't draft them.

He would not be setting a precedent.

(sarcasm), there is a first for everything!!!

never heard that before
oh my GAWD you should be a football scout

so we need a 3 letter first round QB, RIGHT HANDED AND BORN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE COUNTRY, BORN IN THE LTE MONTHS AUGUST OR SO
THJINKING THEY ALSO LIKE THE COLOR RED

JaMarcus never had a chance.

Draft Bryn Renner, QB, North Carolina in the 1st = sb win

Is that Billy Joe Tolliver or Billy Joe Hobert??

Tolliver.

Who cares, they were both terrible.

Remember when Ditka started one of em in NO and in the interviews after the game, the media asked him why he played so terrible, and he said that he hasn't really studied the playbook much, he didn't think he was gonna play??

Awesome for Billy Joe.

Good name for QBs - Trent

Trent Dilfer - Top 10 draft pick (I wanna say 3rd or 4th overall to Tampa Bay, right??), Super Bowl-winning QB.

Now we all agree that Alex Smith can be as good or even better than Dilfer, right???

Hhehehehhehe...

Alex Smith was 1.1. Good news!

What's the percentage of retread SF QBs making or winning the SB?

Ryan Leaf never knew what odds were against him.

Matt Blundin.
Mike Livingston.
Examples of Chiefs one syllable names that went NOWHERE

4% for winning. Jim Plunkett.

Wish I wouldn't have asked

That is the player who Alex Smith has the best shot at becoming.

A Raider?

I wish Alex Smith was a Raider. But I was talking about the only 1st overall pick that busted switched teams and won a Super Bowl with another one.

Looks like Geno Smiths chances of winning a superbowl are much slimmer that Alex Smiths

Great. Go Colin!

Somebody has a fancy texas instrument calculator.

Plunkett was an interception machine in SF. He was a much bigger risk taker than Alex.

Jim is a three-letter single-syllable first name -- I don't think so.

Patrick Mahomes, in hindsight, should have been the #1 overall pick based on talent/value. Damn glad he wasn't! :D

Yes!

Yeah, pretty much all of the top 9 teams are kicking themselves, except maybe Chargers and Panthers. Hell, Chargers should've taken him and then traded Rivers for good value.

2013 called, it wants it's four horsemen post back

Everything is bigger in Texas.

I remember reading some articles criticizing the Chiefs for 'giving up too much' to move up...in hindsight, no one is saying any such bullshit.

Redskins should be the Super Bowl favorite!

Pretty stupid anyway.

To move up 17 spots (or 15, or 13, whatever) in the first round and only paying your first, next year's first, and a third is not a ridiculous price to pay.

I'm not some draft position point scale guru, but it seems pretty normal to me.
