Yeah didn't the NFL overlook Kurt Warner in the draft and the poor guy had to fight it out in Arena Football before anyone would take him seriously?

How many times have we seen QB's that didn't get drafted in the first round and instead were drafted in the 3rd, 4th or later that have turned out to be stellar QB's?

Joe Montana - unarguably one of the best QB's to ever play the game wasn't drafted until the third round at #82.

Conversely, how many first round QB's have we seen go bust in the NFL?

Jay Cutler was drafted in the first round by the Denver Bronco's and is now with the Chicago Bears. I'd say Cutler's been a complete BUST on both teams. (He lives a mile down the road from me, I hate that guy.)

Point is, what happened to Kurt Warner isn't unusual. Good QB's get overlooked all the time, and conversely, really CRAPPY QB's (Jay Cutler) who are all hype manage to go first round and go for the money.
