So its a reason like the Madden Curse? Superstition?
2013 Winston Projected #1 overall next year
2012 Manziel Fringe starter QB
2011 RG3 Superstar with possible outside of never being healthy
2010 Newton Superstar
2009 Ingram Backup RB. Was picked because it had been awhile since Bama was relevant
2008 Bradford Fringe starter QB
2007 Tebow Bust, though he did get a playoff win against the Steelers
2006 Troy Smith. Backup QB. meh
2005 Reggie Bush. Starting level RB. Solid career but not a HOFer or anything
2004 Leinart. Backup QB. Bust
So 2 superstars, 1 starting level RB, 1 projected #1 overall, 2 fringe starter QBs and a bunch of meh. Not exactly a great rule of thumb
Actually I think you just proved it's a great rule of thumb.
We can't comment on Winston or Manziel since they haven't played a down in the NFL, so they're out.
RGIII - Last season he sucked, yes?
Cam Newton? You mean the guy that's going to get surgery NOW instead of having it done when the season ended? The man that pouted on the sideline? Yeah...keep him.
Ingram. Not a superstar.
Bradford. Meh.
Tebow, bust.
Bush, bust. Not NEARLY as good as projected. I'm not even sure he's a starter, I think he's a change of pace RB.
Troy Smith, meh
Lienart, bust.
As I said, stay away from Johnny Manziel.
