Why we need Manziel (or at least a new QB) or What does Sam Bradford and JaMarcus Russell have in common?





Since 2003, these are the QBs taken in the 1st 5 selections of the draft. The number in parentheses is the season in which they brought their team to the playoffs. Only Sam and JaMarcus Russell never brought their teams to the post season. Only one QB on the list brought his team to the playoffs for the first time after his 3rd season.


Carson Palmer (3)
Eli Manning (2)
Philip Rivers (3)
Alex Smith (7)
Vince Young (2)
JaMarcus Russell
Matt Ryan (1)
Matthew Stafford (3)
Mark Sanchez (1)
Sam Bradford
Cam Newton (3)
Andrew Luck (1)
Robert Griffin 3 (1)

Just food for thought.
