From the great Smart Football, here are the 4 rules for drafting a QB if your name is Bill Parcells.
Parcells Rule | ![]() |
---|---|
He must be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback. | Nope |
He must be a graduate, because you want someone who takes his responsibilities seriously. | Not sure, actually. Anybody? |
He must be a three-year starter, because you need to make sure his success wasn’t ephemeral and that he has lived as “the guy†for some period of time. | Check. |
He must have at least 23 wins, because the big passing numbers must come in the context of winning games. | Nope. |
