You're acting like I'm arguing with you; I didn't provide any arguments. Let me repeat: "Here is the raw data without interpretation."
Which tells us nothing. Your period goes back to 2006, so, there are going to be some low rounders (after round 2) starting in the NFL. It's like I said about the Brady argument--haven't you heard guys say "qbs are not so hard to find they got Brady in round 6."
...
If one third of the starting QBs in the league were drafted in the 6th round or lower like Brady, I would think that would be so significant the Brady argument would then make a lot of sense. As is though, we have one guy out of 32 so that one extremely low pick is not so significant.
It's not one third because you mistakenly counted 2nd rounders when they were not at issue, and you listed one 2nd rounder as a third rounder. That's one of the places you math went wrong--you were arguing with something that was never said (having to do with the 2nd round).
The league IS full of qbs taken after the 2nd round. Heck for that matter in 2000 the Rams had 3 qbs they did not spend a single draft pick on--Warner, Green, and Bulger. That does not mean you're smart if you act like you can
count on that.
The point stands...I don't know why you're disputing it. I am on the side of the percentages. Percentages give us the most meaningful fact in this whole discussion.
