Just reading this article, I wonder if there is a way to determine which position players are the saftest to pick in terms of expected results?
QB is a crapshoot that is for sure. One thing about Losman though: There is a big big differnece between getting picked as the 4th QB in the 1st round and being #1 overall or in the Top 5.
I believe the key to a young QB's success, especially in today's NFL, is to allow him to manage the offense for your team, not be the one to be expected to carry it. Look at Brady and Big Ben. When Brady first started, he was managing the offense and so was Big Ben. I hope the Bills can create the same type of situation where Losman is not being expected to win all by himself, which Im sure some QB's like Carr, Eli, and other top top picks feel when they are picked so high.
