We can stretch it out to 7 years and include Scherff and arguably Austin Blythe (starter 3 of 6 years in the league, but was a backup last year and still an unsigned FA this year). We're still talking 3 of 32 starting QB's in the NFL vs. 4 of 160 starting OL hypothetically being filled in that timeframe.
One school putting out 3 of the 32 starting QB's in the league is an extremely impressive accomplishment. For all of them to be good enough to at least be able to get their teams into the playoffs is pretty ridiculous.
In 2 or 3 years maybe before that Hurts and Baker will both be backups so it won't matter.
