Yeesh. Even by generous standards, only about 20 of these guys have been any good. Goes to show that all the pre-draft hype isn't worth much.

Level 92

May 2, 2016

That's pretty generous, all right. I put it at more like 11.

Level 37

May 3, 2016

Got to be way more than 11. Luck, Newton, Stafford, Ryan, Flacco, Cutler, Smith, Rodgers, Manning, Rivers, Big Ben, Palmer, Vick and Pennington. That's being strict, who do you leave out?

Level 92

May 4, 2017

Purely subjectively, I'd take Cutler, Smith, and Pennington off that list. It really depends on your definition of "any good". If all you're shooting for is winning 60% of your games and maybe a first round playoff loss, maybe you could expand the list a bit.

Pennington was very good. He was mostly ignored in the press because he had no flash, no personality, and he was on bad Jets teams for most of his career, but he had a few really big years (Comeback Player of the Year with the Dolphins, 13-3 with the Jets, among others) and was never a liability. He is second all-time in completion percentage, behind only Drew Brees. Granted, that doesn't make him a superstar because he mostly played the short yardage game. But still, a QB who plays ten years and has a higher completion percentage than all but one other player (who is himself one of the best QB's ever) has to at least qualify as "good."

Level 67

Sep 18, 2018

Pennington was very much a liability because he had below average arm strength for a quarterback

Cough, cough, Trubisky

ayyy phil rivers. i have his autograph from when he was at state

Jay Cutler is trash

He actually just isnt trying. ur just being a cyber bully

Level 84

May 2, 2017

The Browns, Bears, Bills, Redskins, Titans, Raiders Jaguars and Broncos have drafted most of these guys, the other 24 teams seem to appear here only once or twice. And most of the picks those repeat #1 draft teams made are the busts, and only the Broncos have a recent history of winning out of that group. And the Broncos' victorious seasons were with a QB they picked up from someone else when he was too beat up for the Colts to keep him, not with one of the 6 guys they drafted. Just goes to prove that how you manage a team makes a difference. The draft does matter.

Level 85

May 31, 2017

The Colts did not part with Peyton Manning simply because he was "beat up". They had a chance to draft their next franchise QB in Andrew Luck, and there wasn't going to be room for both of them on the same roster. (to say nothing about the salary cap implications) Indy did the only sensible thing, IMO, and parted amicably with Peyton. I'm sure it did not come as a surprise to him.

Apr 27, 2018

Given everything that has transpired, I'm not sure I'd call the Indianapolis Colts "sensible".

Level 58

Sep 5, 2021

The Colts are usually a pretty well-run franchise. The sudden Luck retirement was just unfortunate rather than them not being sensible.

Level ∞

Apr 28, 2023

It's a long time ago, but I recall at the time people were saying the Colts ruined his career by failing to manage his shoulder injury.

In the end, Luck (drafted to replace Manning) only lasted 2 seasons longer than Manning.

The Colts could have just kept Manning, who went on to set multiple single-season passing records during his years with the Broncos.

Level 17

Finally got 100% on my 8th try

Level 73

Feb 27, 2018

I can't believe I got them all (2:08). It just shows you how critical a first round quarterback is to a franchise's fortunes, either good or bad.

The good ones are mostly all still playing and the bad ones you still remember because of how far back they set their franchise.

There were a few that were more anonymous because their teams moved on quicker or they were late-first-round guys who weren't highly touted, but it's amazing how relevant a lot of these names/picks still are to franchise fortunes today.

Level 52

Jun 16, 2018

52/53 with over 1:30 left. For the life of me, couldnt think of who the Jets drafted this year. I broke down and googled it.

Level 87

Sep 11, 2018

Four of these guys have played for the Vikings. Arguably the best was Bradford, who just couldn't stay healthy. Bridgewater was pretty promising until the day his knee exploded out of nowhere in practice (supposedly the injury was so bad that some of his teammates were physically ill from having seen it). Ponder, while not as big a bust as some of the folks on this list, definitely wasn't worth a first-round pick. Josh Freeman only played in one game, but it was a memorable one: he completed 37.7% of his passes and left people wondering what in the world the coaching staff was smoking putting him in there.

Level 67

Sep 12, 2018

Who played QB for the Vikings against the Giants on Monday Night Football in 2013 or 2014? It was the worst football game I've ever seen. The Vikings' QB either got hurt or was benched, and then they brought in someone who had maybe the worst QB performance I've ever seen. Might have been Joe Webb. I can't remember for certain. But the whole game was unwatchable. Eli Manning stunk too. It got so bad that Mike Tirico became openly hostile on the microphone.

Level 57

Sep 25, 2018

Josh Freeman only played in 1 game???? He started for Tampa Bay for the better part of 4 seasons.

Level 68

Mar 15, 2019

Is he talking about Joe Webb?

Level 78

Sep 7, 2021

i think he meant started 1 game for the VIkings, not his whole career.

Level 79

May 16, 2024

I'm a Browns fan and a Falcons fan.

The Browns had Weeden (dumb), Campbell (wasn't horrible), Quinn (not good), Manziel (really dumb), Mayfield (good), and Watson (not worth what was given up for him).

The Falcons had Vick (good but dumb choices off the field), Ryan (best QB in franchise history), Mariota (weird choice), and now Penix.

Level 47

Sep 26, 2018

51/53, not bad. Missed Boller & Ramsey.

Level 84

Apr 24, 2020

As the number of picks grows, I find myself running out of time. Could have used another minute to get to the bottom.

Level ∞

Apr 25, 2020

Added 2 more minutes.

Level 55

Jun 4, 2020

So many young qbs are good today like Lamar, Mahomes, Watson.

Level 64

Jan 14, 2021

Lol thought Haskins was Fields

Level 64

Jan 14, 2021

Oh, and Manning and RIvers should be swapped. You should know that.

Level 72

Jan 29, 2021

The quiz is correct - Rivers was drafted by the Giants and Manning by the Chargers. Giants then traded Rivers for Manning plus some picks.

Level 51

Sep 4, 2021

Can you update it to the Washington Football Team?

Level 53

Sep 5, 2021

WFT didn't draft any first-round quarterbacks under that name

Level 58

Sep 5, 2021

Yeah, that might be true, but it still needs to be changed. WFT is their current name, and the old one is offensive.

Level 61

Apr 30, 2022

Now that name is no longer to be.

Level 53

Sep 5, 2021

accept danny dimes as an answer?

Level 62

Jun 18, 2022

R.I.P. Dwayne Haskins :(
