Ahhh...well I guess that is the point of my topic. Leaf was drafted #2 overall...behind the elder Manning bro. How in the world could the NFL scouts deem him the #2 pick? Same with Rick Mirer. He sucked too, big time, as the #2 overall pick in the draft.

Yet we have Tom Brady, picked in the 6th round, the 199th pick for fuk sake. It has never ceased to amaze me at how bad NFL scouts are at predicting the productivity at the QB position.

How 'bout Cassel, who completed a whopping 19 passes in his whole college career holding the clipboard for Palmer and Leinart? He was the 230th pick in that years draft but has a starting job in the NFL, while the guy he held the clipboard for, Leinart (#10 pick in the draft, Heisman trophy and NC winner like Cam), was a 3rd stringer at Houston last year and took ZERO snaps!

Pretty sure if the NFL experts can't figure out who will succeed and who will suck at QB in the NFL that we can't either....that's why I wanted your predictions.

The bust rate for QB'S picked high in any draft has always been around 50% there is no exact science.
