The other 4 are Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, Colin Kaepernick, and Andrew Luck.
No quarterback drafted from 2013 on has won a playoff game as a starter.
Drafting a quarterback does not automatically fix everything and get us over he hump.
Is it possible? Absolutely. But it's not as cut and dry as fans like to believe.
Very true, but look at the QBs that have played in Super Bowls in recent years:
Brady - anomoly, but 6th round.
Wilson - 3rd round
Rodgers -1st round
Ryan - 1st round (top 5)
Big Ben - 1st round
Flacco - 1st round
Kap - 2nd round
Manning - 1st overall
Manning - 1st overall
Newton - 1st overall
While there are a ton of other reasons why teams win, it seems that having a 1st rounder is a common theme.
