We aren't going to draft this high many times...so it's now or never for that QB.
Only problem is that most first round QBs don't turn out as good as dalton.
SAince we drafted dalton in 2011 there have been 25 QBs taken in the first round. Only 5 of those 25 have a better career passer rating than dalton. Close to half (11 of 25) have a career passer rating int the 60's or 70's.
Eli Manning has more Super Bowl rings than Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. Nick Foles and Joe Flacco have just as many. Peyton Manning won his last ring in a season where his passer rating was in the 60's. So having an elite QB is no guarantee of Super Bowl success.
