Only five times since 1970 has a team drafted a QB in the first round and had another QB on the roster make the Pro Bowl that coming season.

That's a big Red X. Favre threw 29 INTs that year.

Sorry, I forgot there's still one more out there. It's Bill Kenney and Todd Blackledge. Since the Cards traded Stouffer after he held out, I dropped him after the initial results, since I wanted to focus on what happened the next year.Chase Stuart said:

Worth noting, that of the four prior situations that Quinn and Anderson are now in, three times the rookie QB barely played at all in his second year, and the fourth one (Blackledge and Kenney), the sophomore only played due to an injury.
