Kurt Warner helps dispel the myth that a QB even needs to be drafted.
What do all of those things have in common, though? They were all very fluky occurrences. Hence why we remember them.
2 QB's (3 if you want to count Romo) being taken late (or not being drafted at all) doesn't throw a wrench into the notion that you should draft a QB in the first round.
Just as the 2007 Patriots or 2008 Lions don't prove that preseason doesn't matter. Particularly when it comes to evaluating individual players.
Edit: I just noticed that you said essentially the same thing to bfine.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
