The top of the 2018 quarterback class was significantly better than the 2019 class

Those quarterbacks [2018 class] were better than any of the quarterbacks this year in my opinion. As a group of quarterbacks, the top guys were better.

The 2018 class featured two MVPs (Jackson) and a perennial MVP candidate (Allen), along with a solid starter in Mayfield. The 2019 class has been much weaker overall.

Dwayne Haskins will end up being drafted by the Washington Redskins

I think [Dwayne] Haskins is going to end up as a Redskins. That's what I'm planting my flag and saying.

The Redskins did indeed draft Dwayne Haskins with the 15th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

I will retire if Jimmy Clausen is not a successful NFL quarterback

If Jimmy Clausen is not a successful quarterback in the NFL, I'm done. That's it. I'm out... I want eight years.

Jimmy Clausen lasted only a few seasons as a backup and spot starter with a poor record. Mel Kiper did not retire.

Josh Allen is a franchise quarterback

I had to defend the guy to the hilt the entire way through the process when everybody was beating up Josh Allen. I defended him. And here we are. Franchise quarterback.

Josh Allen became an All-Pro and one of the premier franchise quarterbacks in the NFL.

9 inches is the absolute cutoff point for NFL quarterback hand size to be successful

Nine's the cutoff point for usually having success moving forward. So, yeah. I think there is a validity to that. Outlier would be Tony Romo, and you don't draft outliers.

Burrow and Mahomes are near this cutoff, and while many successful QBs have larger hands, it is a correlation scouts use rather than an absolute law.
