I Would Never Draft a Quarterback...

"I would always get my quarterback through free agency. Granted I would miss out on the Peyton Manning's of the world but I would always get my quarterback through free agency." Cap'n Douche

Yes that's a solid choice Cap'n Douche. To see just how solid of a choice it is, let's look at who has lead their teams to the Super Bowl Title the past few seasons?

2008: Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisburger, DRAFTED
2007: New York Giants, Eli Manning, DRAFTED
2006: Indianapolis Colts, Peyton Manning, DRAFTED
2005: Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisburger, DRAFTED
2004: New England Patriots, Tom Brady, DRAFTED
2003: New England Patriots, Tom Brady, DRAFTED
2002: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brad Johnson, Free Agent or Trade
2001: New England Patriots, Tom Brady, DRAFTED
2000: Baltimore Ravens, Trent Dilfer, Free Agent or Trade
1999: St. Louis Rams, Kurt Warner, Free Agent or Trade
1998: Denver Broncos, John Elway, DRAFTED
1997: Denver Broncos, John Elway, DRAFTED
1996: Green Bay Packers, Brett Favre, Free Agent or Trade
1995: Dallas Cowboys, Troy Aikman, DRAFTED
1994: San Francisco, Steve Young, Free Agent or Trade
1993: Dallas Cowboys, Troy Aikman, DRAFTED
1992: Dallas Cowboys, Troy Aikman, DRAFTED
1991: Washington Redskins, Mark Rypien, DRAFTED
1990: New York Giants, Jeff Hostetler, DRAFTED
1989: San Fransisco, Joe Montana, DRAFTED

The vast majority of Super Bowl winning QBs were garnered via the draft. Johnson and Dilfer won on the backs of their defenses. Favre and Young were acquired on the cheap after failed experiments at their previous stops and Kurt Warner was pulled out of Arena Football. No Super Bowl winner in the past 20 seasons has had a major free agent quarterback lead their team to the Super Bowl. But ya, if your team was run by Cowherd that's what you'd be looking for.

  1. I have heard him harp about his not stop lately and have quite literally been in disbelief at the level of stupidity. So much so, that I was compelled to come to Google and search for "Colin Cowherd Douche", and here I am.

    Great blog!

  2. Amazing! I just noticed that your post was from last year! Apparently this guy rehashes the same material year after year and never comes up with something original. Even more reason to hate the guy.
