Once again - The Bengals, due to Daltons mediocrity - have had to expend a very high # of their #1 and #2 picks on skill players - to surround him with tremendous talent and weapons.
Despite this, he is still a 15th-20th ranked QB in the NFL by every single media outlet/member/former player/former coach/analyst.
But, in Bengals LaLa Land, everyone else is wrong, and if you plug your ears and hum loud enough, you can fake that you are right and seek affirmation from other deluded fans
Lol
Quite clearly you're an alt having a little fun (and I've known for awhile), but I'll keep playing.
Re-read my post and address some of the points.
1. Why are you only looking at "draft picks invested"? You do realize that draft picks aren't the only assets a team can invest...right? The most important asset in football is arguably cap space. Why aren't you considering the FAT contracts being handed out to guys like Antonio Brown, Marvin Jones and many others? By your logic, the Lions lost nothing by investing 1/20th of their cap space on one player. By your logic, the Seahawks trading for Jimmy Graham doesn't count because they didn't technically draft him. Same with the Pats trading for Brandin Cooks, etc.
TL;DR - Why are you only considering draft picks?
2. Until you make a list of teams - with the draft picks, trades and cap space invested to surround their QB with weapons...your post proves zilch because we have no basis for comparison. Just your opinion (which I'm sure is totally unbiased).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
