What’s the worst thing that can happen to a quarterback? He loses his confidence. -Terry Bradshaw
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! It’s official. The quarterback jinx lives on. Matthew Stafford was just placed on the Lions’ injured-reserve list on Thursday ending his season. Stafford was the first player chosen in the 2009 draft. Stafford finished his debut season with a 2-8 record as a starter for Detroit. Big deal you say? Who cares you say? I say that preserves a streak that’s spanned four decades. Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport… the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat. Ahhh yes, the agony of defeat. Since 1967, the first year of the common draft, no quarterback selected with the first overall pick has had a winning record as a starter during his rookie season. The streak began with Terry Bradshaw, who was taken with the first choice of the 1970 draft. If Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen gets chosen with the number one pick by the Cleveland Browns, the streak shall continue.
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
