Will this QB draft be better than the '83 QB Draft

Enfuego · Dec 23, 2012

I know the 1983 draft produced Kelly, Marino, Elway and Eason but the '11 draft class may go down in history as the best ever.

We all know RGIII and Luck are playing great and have far exceeded expectations and with the emergence of Wilson, we could have three that are pro bowlers for years go come.

But...from what I've seen from Foles, he could put this class over the top for years. I think the Eagles got a steal in this guy.

I actually like what I've seen in Weeden and the jury is still out on Tannehill.

hard to say that... i think there may never be another QB draft like that...

Yep, you're right. Time will tell.

Give it another year or two and the 2011 class could also be up there as one of the best overall QB-drafts....

NAME	POS	SCHOOL	ROUND	PK(OVR)	TEAM
Cam Newton	QB	Auburn	1	1(1)	Carolina
Jake Locker	QB	Washington	1	8(8)	Tennessee
Blaine Gabbert	QB	Missouri	1	10(10)	Jacksonville
Christian Ponder	QB	Florida State	1	12(12)	Minnesota
Andy Dalton	QB	TCU	2	3(35)	Cincinnati
Colin Kaepernick	QB	Nevada	2	4(36)	San Francisco

Good point Hache. I don't see JL, Gabbert or Ponder ever being good. I see Dalton being good but not great and the jury is out on Kaepernick. Not sure what I think of Newton still.

No, this class isn't even close to 1983.

I could make an argument that Elway is the best QB of all-time. Marino the best passer of All-time. 3 HOFs. That is unreal.

we wont know for atleast another 10 yrs. But this class does look strong. Off to a good start

But for now...this argument stands strong.......as well as SwiftJ's argument.

Took Seatle last night in a long shot to win it all. 10 - 1.

Don't see any Hall Of Famers on that list....

No, none of them are actually good.

Just give it a couple more years.

2004 class is better. Roethlisberger, Eli, Rivers. Four Super Bowl wins, and a ton of stats from Rivers for all you fantasy geeks.

Didn't Ken O'Brian get drafted that year also?

Will this QB draft be better than the '83 QB Draft
