That is a RIDICULOUS success rate (70%) for the QB position and it shows that NFL has become better at identifying the top QBs in the draft.Mike Vick - 4x Pro Bowler and revolutionized the QB position. Career was mired by injuries as well but had a good career.Carson Palmer - 2x Pro Bowler and top 20 QB. Not elite but good NFL QB that puts his team in position to compete for a playoff spot annually. Eli Manning - 2x Pro Bowler and 2x Super Bowl Champion. Currently is a top 15 QB.Alex Smith - 1x Pro Bowler that no one would confuse as an elite QB. However he is a top 20 NFL QB that puts his team in position to compete for a playoff spot on a annual basis. But is not good enough to lead team to a Super Bowl.Matthew Stafford - 1x Pro Bowler with immense arm talent. Good NFL QB but not elite (top 20). lights up the stat sheet but has yet been able to get the Lions over the hump with Rodgers controlling the division.Cam Newton - 2x Pro Bowler and ended up being better than many people gave him credit for coming out of Auburn. Is the Panthers Franchise QB and is the main reason why they are relevant. He's good but not elite, Top 15 QB. Andrew Luck - 3x Pro Bowler and has emerged as an elite NFL QB. Top 5 QB.Depending on who you listen to, Winston and Mariota have been said to be a notch below Andrew Luck, If that is the case the Bucs have a franchise QB for the next 10+ years.
