When a quarterback is drafted in round 1, it is because a team needs a quarterback very badly. He is certain to see a great amount of playing time because so much has been invested in him. If he fails, the people who drafted him get fired, so he gets plenty of chances. Therefore, the chances of him succeeding skyrocket. How many of the 2nd round + quarterbacks cited were actually drafted to become the future of the franchise? John Beck, as the heir-apparent, has a better chance than most 2nd rounders. I'd like to see your percentages again with only "future-of-our-franchise" quarterbacks included and without the "solid backup" crowd. If nothing else, you show how statistics can be manipulated to prove any point. The problem with these statistics is that they do not show the entire picture.

I agree that odds are always stacked against quarterbacks taken after round one, yet you always hear someone throw Tom Brady's name around along with Tim Couch's as proof late round quarterbacks can be more successful than highly touted ones. But, as you have pointed out, it is possible though very unlikely that mid-late round quarterbacks will succeed in comparison with first rounders. Great stuff. Great research, very interesting.
