I'll do it myself.

QBs to reach a championship game in the last 10 years.

Flacco x 2
Brady x 9
Eli
Smith
Kaepernick x2
Ryan x2
Manning x2
Wilson x 2
Luck
Rodgers x4
Newton
Palmer
Roethlisberger
Foles/Wentz
Keenum
Bortles
Mahomes x3
Goff
Brees
Tannehill
Garappolo
Allen

That's 22 qbs. There's only 3 who made it more than twice--Brady, Rodgers, and Mahomes. What are the odds for or against drafting a Brady, Rodgers, or Mahomes?

So what do the other 29 teams do...just quit?

And the list includes some top tier qbs who at most made it twice but usually just made it once: I count Brees, Roethlisberger, Palmer, Luck, Wilson, and Ryan.

Both Rock and I are saying the same thing and it wasn't to just quit.

A careful reading would alert you to our position that we wouldn't give a huge 2nd contract to most of those QBs. I'd rather keep churning like KC did when they had Alex Smith but drafted Mahomes.

On that list, the only QBs I for sure would commit huge dollars to are:

Brady
Manning
Wilson
Rodgers
Mahomes
Brees
Roethlisberger - this one is a maybe.

The first 6 names account for 5/8 of the QBs who have been to the championship game multiple times.

There are some good QBs on the list that I would move on from after they were no longer cheap.

I didn't say you were saying just quit. That was a quip intended to drive home a point. Or rather several points. First, tier 1 qbs do not guarantee you anything. Look at the list of guys who only got there once or twice.

Your list? Take out the big 3, and it's 6 out of a possible 40 spots (40 because 4 x 10 years).

You end up with the same numbers on your list if you take out Brees, Roethlisberger, Manning, and Wilson and put in Flacco, Ryan, Bortles, and Keenum.
