Who's said anything about a QB having to be a sure thing? Both sides of the argument love twisting the words of the other side. No one knows if ANYONE is a sure thing, bu the whole "just try until you find one" argument is stupid as shit.
I mean... are people saying they should invest an extremely high pick and millions of dollars just to say they tried? That's just stupid. Drafting someone just to draft someone is how you fail.

Cam Newton would be a sexy-ass trade if they could pull it off, but then what does Carolina do? They'd just be drafting a QB just to draft one then, right? And they can't do that. So... RT? |

I didn't want Sanchez or Gabbert. And I wanted Eric Berry at #5 more than I wanted Jimmy Clausen.

Because Carl Petersons 5 year plan is working so well?

Detmer Wynn Pederson Holcomb McCown Garcia Dilfer Gradkowski Delhomme Wallace All of those guys weren't drafted by the Browns. And a bunch of them, like Holcomb, Garcia, Dilfer, and Delhomme were acquired as stop-gaps so that the franchise could "learn to win" a little bit before finding a long-term answer at QB. That list represents a mountain of a franchise failure more than it damns any one particular QB-developing strategy. |

Fine. Take out your QBs. This is what happens when you draft a QB just to draft a QB. http://www.businessinsider.com/brown...ce-1999-2013-9 Quote:

You can just as easily blame that strategy for the Browns QB woes. |
