    HOWEVER......how many of the top QB's in the NFL were picked in the top 10 selections in round one ???
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Using a list of the best QB's in 2023 compiled by SI, it's a mixed bag:

    1. Pat Mahomes (10)
    2. Joe Burrow (1)
    3. Josh Allen (7)
    4. Jalen Hurts (53)
    5. Justin Herbert (6)
    6. Trevor Lawrence (1)
    7. Lamar Jackson (32)
    8. Aaron Rodgers (24)
    9. Matt Stafford (1)
    10. Dak Prescott (135)

    So SIX out of TEN were top 10

    Yes and so does any pick every year.

    I would guess historically Top 5 picks have a lower bust out rate than any other group of picks.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
