This, I think, serves as a decent discussion piece, as you have a great deal of history to sort through. Obviously I could've delved into even deeper, and included other high picks but that would have taken forever.
Anyways, for your viewing pleasure...

Is the argument here that the QBs with more experienced back-ups fare better?
