Should we plan on tanking a season for Barry Sanders Jr?

Let's just tank 5 seasons in a row and build up a hell of a roster with all the top picks we'll have! Watch out NFL in about 10 years!

We're not going to tank the season so we'll lighten the load and take a look at what really happened this week in history.

We just tried that. It didn't work like we had hoped.

Let's look at GreekSkin's fine question, albeit reformulated: how many of the last few Super Bowl winners found their QB at #1? Answer: None.

History does not back you up, Skinster, as you claim.

Here are some statistics to add to this.

Drafted #1 Superbowl Winners

1970 (Steelers) -- Terry Bradshaw, Louisiana Tech
1983 (Colts) -- John Elway, Stanford *
1989 (Cowboys) -- Troy Aikman, UCLA
1993 (Patriots) -- Drew Bledsoe, Washington State **
1999 (Colts) -- Peyton Manning, Tennessee
2004 (Chargers) -- Eli Manning, Mississippi *

*Drafted #1 and then traded.
** Lost starting job due to injury.

Good job Drew. So about 1.5 years a decade see a #1 QB win a Super Bowl.

QED 8.5 years out of 10 see Super Bowls won by QB's taken later.

History is NOT on the side of the "Suck to get Luck" argument.

Drew Bledsoe should not count. He was not the starter during the SB year and it wasn't until he got hurt that Brady came in and the team started winning. They started the season 0-3 or something like that under Blesdoe and he was not playing well.

And make sure that all of our starters are under the age of 25. LOL.

Isn't it a little early to claim that Luck will go #1? He could have a horrible season, he could get injured, he could pull a "Locker." it might turn out his success came from having Harbaugh as his head coach, anything could happen. We do need a qb but its obvious from previous SB winners it doesn't have to be a can't miss prospect.
