How The 2021 & 2022 QB Drafts Completely Failed 

Can't wait for the "what happened to the 223 players drafted before Brock Purdy" video

"Most busty QB drafts" Didn't realize we graded QB's on breast size...

There were 17 QB picked between Trevor Lawrence and Brock Purdy. That’s almost a 1 out of 10 QB hit rate.

Davis Mills is the best one. Because he single handily brought 3 franchises a possible franchise qb. That hail Mary last year led to the Bears, Texans, and Colts getting a franchise qb. Give that man a staute

Brock Purdy is like "nah not me. Im no bust" and walks away from the thumbnail.

Macorkle was bound to fail with Keemstar as his coordinator.

I can’t believe as Jets fan I’ve never caught on to the fact that Zach “Milf hunter” Wilson played for the “Cougars” 😂😂😂

Besides Purdy obviously, Trevor who's still a starter, and Justin who will get a chance to start again eventually, I can't see anyone else from either draft becoming a long term starter for any team unless they pull off some Geno Smith level turnaround in a few years.

NFL owners not letting their QBs develop is baffling.

Perna is an enigma... That's it I have nothing else to say.

2021’s QB draft class is probably the worst relative to expectations and where the guys were drafted. What makes it even worse is that it was an incredible draft for other positions which means these teams missed out on them.

America’s favorite pass-time… over hyping teenagers

I'm so happy that Perna actually respects Brock Purdy. If no one else believes in him, at least I have that.

Matt Corral was more sad than anything. He struggled with mental health and alcohol in college but was cleaning up and had his best season. Gets injured in preseason whenever he had an actual chance of playing which causes him to slip into a depression, then makes a comeback only for the team to (stupidly) trade up and draft a QB at number 1 then cut him. He starts in the UFL now and seems to be a lot happier

Historically, franchise QBs don't really "get it" until their third year. This emphasis on WIN NOW rookies is utter stupidity. It's only worked once.

That 2021 QB Class really shows you how hard it is to develop a QB, Chiefs and Pat just made it look easier.

I will play QB for only 250k a year, I am a great bargain

It's almost like throwing your fresh out of college QB to the wolves isn't a very good strategy Edit: also some of these guys have only had terrible O-lines that did them no favors either

I was recently reminded of Ian Book’s existence recently in Madden Franchise mode, when I played against him on the saints. This wasn’t the original Ian Book either, this was an AI create-a-character that was also named Ian book with the same jersey number(#16).

If teams just let there QBs have a few years I guarantee you would find that a few of the so called “busts” aren’t actually as bad as they seem. Usually QBs look bad when they have zero oline and a horrible play caller. Which high round draft pick teams usually have. Teams dispose their QBs damn near right away. It’s a total waste

Its more like a "dontgototheseorganisations", for example the Jets are like a cemetary of talented QBs.

You literally said at the end what I quoted to one of the local broadcasters on his RU-vid page (1 out of 10 QBs taken in the first round will actually be a franchise QB) - and he said my numbers were off. Yeah, not so much.

This video proves my point, the scouts dont know crap about players, they say this guy will go #1 and he flames out, while a late pick or in this case purdy shows the world, scouts dont know what they evaluate

12:15 so Trevor loses his fumbles 64% of the time? Thats > 2x the average of the other 5 worst QBs (27%) ? Thats crazy!

Trey Lance could still get a chance if a needy team takes a shot on him.

Brandon please. My lunch break is only so long. Stop making so much good content

11:37 the hand gesture you made while saying “busty” is why we all love you Perna

Trey Lance was basically proof the league doesn't understand qbs as it pertains to scouting. Played half a season really. He rarely played past halftime. Had no real tape. Didn't do the All Star games. He played one game in '20. Against UCA. Didnt play well. Then he had a monster combine. I mean "He must be Him." Type performance. A combine baby. It happens way too often. A guy has one excellent day in shorts throwing to wide open guys. Then, he's "high ceiling" or "raw potential". Its an obvious flaw they refuse to deal with.

I still remember watching Purdy his freshman year at Iowa State. He was pretty good obviously he had his ups and downs, but you could see the talent and competitiveness he had. Honestly I was surprised he was "Mr. Irrelevant", which he isn't anymore lol

Sam Howell deserved better

Fields is a victim of bad timing since he was drafted by a coach and GM who were both on the hot seat trying to save their jobs. This was mostly because Ryan Pace's roster construction sucked as he constantly traded picks to move up in the draft and only did the bare minimum to improve the o-line and skill positions. And when Pace finally did draft a tackle, he needed back surgery and missed half his rookie season - which has been a recurring theme since the last super bowl appearance for them. Nagy on the other hand failed Justin by putting him in as a starter far too soon against an opportunistic Browns defense led by Myles Garrett while implementing a game plan that envisioned using Andy Dalton passing from the pocket. He got sacked like 10 times in his first game and the sacks never stopped coming. Big Dick Nick Foles who was second on the depth chart should have gotten the start against the Browns and let Justin start against an easier opponent. Nagy continued to not tailor the game plans to Justin's strengths the rest of the season and both he and Pace were gone at the end. Poles has been very diplomatic in his wait-and-see approach to Justin's development, but ultimately his slow development and inconsistent play have led Poles to move in a different direction. I wish Justin all the best in his second chance with the Steelers because he's a good dude with very obvious talent that needs to be harnessed and have the wrinkles in his game ironed out. And I look forward to the dawning of the Caleb Williams era in Chicago and hope that maybe, just maybe fortune smiles upon the Bears at the quarterback position. Even the Cubs eventually won a World Series, no?

Love the content, keep up the awesome work!

Brandon makes a great point about how teams will do crazy things when they are desperate to get a quarterback. Chiefs weren’t completely desperate when they drafted Patrick Mahomes since they already had Alex Smith, a solid QB. The Broncos were desperate and traded for (and extended) Russell Wilson.

Perna much love for making me laugh on a bad day! You rock. I always knew you would get big when Ryan told me many years ago!

It's gunna happen again this year, there will be 5 qbs drafted in the first round and MAYBE 2 will good, but probably only 1

Mann this was a great video a lot of good points

That was a good episode brother..Mile High Salute from Louisiana

Zach Wilson went into a horrible situation. The O-line was awful. Most highly drafted QB’s are going to horrible teams which kills them. While lower 1st round teams don’t need QB’s. That’s why I like the Green Bay model of developing a QB behind another QB. That’s why I wish the Broncos kept R. Wilson and then draft a QB to sit behind him for a year.

I was at a Broncos v Jets game that Zach Wilson started, we beat Wilson 26-0. Teddy two gloves

Trevor was having a good season before the injuries started piling up. High ankle sprain, knee sprain, sprained shoulder and a concussion. They were 8-3 and he had something like a 17-7 TD to interception ratio. He had absolutely zero running game and a number 1 receiver (Ridley) that didn’t know the playbook and was constantly running the wrong routes. He also dropped numerous wide open touchdowns. The o-line was statistically the worst in football in pass pro and run blocking. That said, Trevor does need to stop fucking fumbling!!!!😂

I never expected in my life to hear "Texas State" from on That's Good Sports

Another great video Perna. The scariest thing about the Niners is they've made 3 straight NFC championships AFTER fucking up that massive trade for Lance. If they got literally anything out of those 3 first round picks, they should reasonably have a ring or two.

Blame the fans and owners. Everyone has lost perspective and patience. They think you have to be a playoff or Superbowl team the year you're drafted if you're a quarterback. If you struggle, then you're s bust. Not realizing what entails playing the position. They look at CJ Stroud and think he has to replicate that type of season while not realizing that that's a rarity.

Great video. Subscribed.

Poor Matt Corral the Ole Miss Rebal Alumni didn't even play his 1st ever game as Carolina Panthers quarterback 14:44

2:48, they showed a picture of Jake Ehlinhger instead of Sam

No discussion on Davis "The Neck" Mills who started a whole season? Smh perna

I’m glad somebody finally brought it up

You make a good point about needing about 4 or 5 years to judge a qb I feel like I have a much better grasp on the 2018 qb class than the 2019 qb class

Thank you

Wow!! What a good deep dive on wilson. That is real reporting!!!

Watching this a month later makes this so much funnier

I use that Space Jam reference all the time when I’m talking about someone reaching 😂

“If we see 5 qbs taken in the 2024 draft im scared ill be making the same video in 2 years” -fast forward to 6 qbs going in the top 12 with 2 outrageous reaches and qb where nobody knows why people really like him

The best two QBs were taken 522 picks apart from each other

6:27 shows you just how insane JF1 is. Dude literally only needed a team. I genuinely hope he does amazing in Pitt.

What went wrong is too many nfl scouts, and talking heads of the media boosted these dudes up so much for not proving anything. So many came from dominant programs where they really didn’t have to be a smart qb, they just had to deliver the rock- and now they realize that you gotta break down blitzes zone coverages etc…maybe scouts will learn

Tripped me out seeing Roger Goodell say 2021 in Brandon Perna's voice

11:02 best description of Zach Wilson I’ve ever heard

Me with a smug grin on my face telling people I told you so/called it with these QBs. And that even goes for Purdy being successful in the NFL! As a Cyclone fan it was easy to call it on him with me watching him in college. And I am smart enough to know why. And no one on here is going to believe me either.

It was crazy my freshman year of HS playing against Carson Strong to him now medically retired

Matt Corral looks to get a shot to start Saturday afternoon for the Birmingham Stallions or at least platoon with Jmar smith for starting snaps. I'll be interested to see what he can do!

the jets pulled the trigger joke was funny, thank you for sport video poppa

It’s because qb contracts got out of control. Can’t win when one player cripples your cap. Unless you have mahomes.

I saw a Zack Wilson jersey here on the slopes of keystone when this came out

Impact of Lance is only minimized due to getting excessively lucky with Brock So, Brock Purdy has started in more playoff games than ALL of the rest of the QBs taken in the 2021 and 2022 drafts ? (Lawrence=2; Jones=1; Thompson=1 with Purdy at 6

This draft is gonna be wild!

feeling good about any QB going to MN, I think KOC understands the toxicity of the position and will be looking to truly develop whatever QB we get.

3:42 that’s not his draft evaluation, it’s his 1:1 artistic representation of Trey Lance’s hair.

I think it's worth pointing out that all QB's drafted in the 1st round from the 2020 draft are all starting in this coming season. This could be more exception to the rule though but worth noting. Some teams just suck at drafting too.

Why do I love the way Perna says Kenny Pickett so much

I saw “Busty” and I was wondering if I was on the wrong dang app.

9:34 What a helicopter move by Zach Wilson

Bills went through 26 QB’s in 20 years between Kelly and Allen. Been loving the drama from the outside.

Perna out here trying to convince teams that draft before the Broncos to not draft a QB

11:26 If you can't beat em, join em Perna!

Mac Jones regressed with Matt Patricia as OC and Pickett had Matt Canada. Let's see if either come back once they get to play with a competent OC.

Do you remember when you were pissed that the Broncos picked Patrick Surtain over Justin Fields? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

You had me at busty

As one those much hated Vikings fans i still love your content. What your saying here is exactly what ive been trying to tell people. Its my personal feeling that Denver may possibly end up looking like draft day kings down the road by ending up with the 5th or 6th QB. If you look at the last 20 years of drafts you have almost as many hits in rounds 2-5 as you do in the first. The highest draft position would probably be Josh Allen and he wasn't even taken in the top five. All this trade up and qb run talk feels like insanity. Maybe the nfl should rename this years draft to "your hitting yourself, quit hitting yourself, why are you still hitting yourself?"

Most rookie QBs need to sit. Mahomes sat. Rodgers sat. Jackson sat. The Manning brothers and Matt Stafford are the exception, not the rule.

As a North Alabama alum, I am happy to hear their name on your channel.

As a die hard nd fan, I was simply amazed when Ian book was drafted, let alone in the 4th round

“Holy S***, we forgot Skyler Thompson.”

Trevor probably the biggest disappointment compared to the decades-long hype for him right from high school.

@11:00 Couldn't stop laughing

The funniest part about Desmond Ridder is that he was traded for Róndale Moore. They both went to high school in Kentucky and played rivals against one another 🤣

with the trade of diggs the texans you should do something on the best teams that can challenge the chiefs. Also something you could do after the draft.

I still think Trevor Lawrence will be a top 5 qb... I just don't think it will be with the Jags. I mean, there are some teams that always seem to have a good QB and some teams that have never had one... It's not a coincidence... Drafting is only half the battle; the other half is properly developing your young QB and building your scheme around his strengths.

Let me put it this way. 2021 was a very hard year to judge the QB class just because a lot of them played a shortened 2020 season because of COVID-19. I don't blame the scouts for putting guys like Zach Wilson and Trey Lance that high because those guys played more games in 2020 than most of the QBs in that class. The same went for 2022. Although a bunch of highly touted QBs had down years in 2021 which is why they slid in the draft. The 2023 QB class needs time as well, but there's also the feeling that like most times when a QB is considered a bust, it has little to do with him but with how inept those organizations are when it comes to surrounding the QB with a talented Offensive Line. Whats the point of a top QB if he doesn't have a freaking line long term.

Another reason why it feels like the QB position is more open is because the recent generation of HOF QBs are leaving a vacuum behind, with even just playoff spots able to be filled, plus now a 7th seed for an extra ‘chance’. All 32 Teams can enter a season and not feel like certain results are just a ‘given’ (like Brady winning 17 division titles ! Or Big Ben’s 8 or Rodgers’ 8) AFC Brady - made the playoffs 20 of 21 seasons (as primary starter) Roethlisberger - 12 of 18 seasons with Steelers NFC Brees - playoffs 9 of 15 seasons in New Orleans Ryan - 6 of 14 seasons in Atlanta Rodgers - 12 of 18 (15 really as the first 3 seasons were meagre ‘learning’) seasons in Green Bay Stafford’s 3 of 12 seasons with the Lions Rivers - 6 of 16 with Chargers Eli Manning - 6 of 16 seasons with Giants

Crazy I really thought at least 3 of qbs from the 21 draft would've been superstars by now

one expert said it before the best way to be draft proof is just to trade down and get as many picks as possible. because most people always get them wrong, thats just how math works. so having more picks will shield you from misses. and rookie wage is so cheap, hitting 1 or 2 is save you like 10-15m a year vs veteran pros.

Brock Purdy: accuracy and anticipation

Perna thought the Donkeys were Superbowl "ready" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

how could perna forget that we shut the jets out in 2021 with zach wilson as the jets qb

Only thing more usless than a mock draft?? A preseason mock draft!

Matt Corral is starting for the Birmingham Stallions and he actually had a great game today

From what I’ve heard from people in Oxford, Matt Corral has had some real struggles with his mental health. Took a year to find himself. It seems like he’s back on the come up and I really hope he can succeed in the UFL and maybe move into a backup NFL role. He’s a good dude who I hope can find success.

11:25 well well well...
