Quarterbacks From NFL Draft Class Of 2004 Are Disappointing?
Posted by RaleighWatson on February 7, 2008
I don’t need to say much in this post. The NFL draft class of 2004 delivered us Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger. Many have considered the quarterbacks from the class of 2004 a disappointment. To start off with, people seem to forget that it takes time to make the transition from college football to the NFL. Why are fans so impatient with quarterbacks? Even Peyton Manning wasn’t very impressive his first couple of seasons. Statistics combined from the Eli Manning, Ben Roelthisberger, and Philip Rivers era are listed below:
1. 11-6 combined playoff record
2. Two Super Bowl titles, two AFC Championship Game appearances
3. Manning has made the playoffs 3 consecutive seasons
4. Combined for approximately 220 touchdowns and 176 interceptions
5. Draft class also includes Matt Schaub
The 2004 draft class may not be quite as good as the class of 1983, which included Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, and Kenny O’Brien…but Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, and Matt Schaub are off to a good start.
