With the trade of Wentz, NOT A SINGLE QUARTERBACK drafted in the first round from 2009 to 2016 is still with his original team. That's zero for 22, a batting average that would get someone fired if everyone weren't in the same boat.

I just watched the 2018 game against the Steelers where Lynn had this team dialed in and on the upswing. Justin Jackson, Keenan and Desmond King all went off and Rivers was pretty locked in. We did get one punt blocked and almost another but other than that we looked great. And a healthy Derwin.

Yes we've had good luck picking QBs. I see no reason why Herbert does not continue that trend. Now we need a championship caliber defense. Eli, Brees, and even Rivers during LT's magical season all had SB caliber defenses. All went to the SB (Rivers should've as well).

Longevity with a team is going to be rare with QBs going forward, in my opinion, especially with those run-pass option guys. Of that group of QBs, Luck might have been one that probably could have been with his team for 10 yrs and more, but he ran the numbers and decided it was too hard to do the constant recovery cycle. I'm hoping that Herbert is the very long term QB answer, and the team peaks quickly with him, and just by what we've seen, he might be gone as well in less than 10 yrs if his salary doesn't match to the expectations .
