Wentz is better than Goff, but Wentz is a piece of china.

Found this from Sept '19 - they had 20 starting QBs at this time under the age of 27. The list does not account for Lock or any others that have been starting since the time of writing. That's quite a youth movement - with most 25 or under and some (Luke Faulk) that you may never hear from again. Hell, Winston is only 25 and Bridgewater is 26 (2 years younger than Jimmy G). https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/n...been-brighter/

The ones who are playing really well and look great are in stable franchise with really good head coaches.
Weird how that works. |

Dak is still a better qb than most teams have. He's in the Jared Goff safe zone where you know you could do a LOT worse even if you know he's got a low ceiling. So trying to get better is a gamble. It's purgatory which is better than hell. |

It was a totally meaningless snap, but did anybody not love Moore running onto the field like a little kid to take the final snap to celebrate his starter winning the game? |

I think Kyler will be great too. He's put up great numbers (for a young QB) on what was the worst team in the league last year. It's too bad Fitzgerald's career is coming to an end soon.

I suppose. But he's due for a new contract and wants big money. He already turned down $30 million per year. I don't know that he's good enough to commit that much of your cap to. If I was Jones, I would draft a QB in the first 3 rounds, bring in a Chad Henne or similar vet and tell Dak that he can take what was offered or his agent can seek a trade. I hope that he doesn't though. I would love to see Jones lock up 5 more years of mediocrity with Dak.

I'm noticing a trend where guys have to be able to extend plays. Is there a "pocket" QB having a good year other than Brees?
Josh Allen is inaccurate and slow to process but damn he's big and athletic and when they spread the field and go 2 minute drill he's lethal with Beasley in the slot & his ability to scramble. Would like to see more of that. I think a variation of the ol' K-gun would be perfect for him. Darnold? I'm afraid he's ruined. He had a bad Oline at USC and already 2 years of bad lines in the NFL. Mayfield: I don't think it's so much Freddie Kitchens as it is teams have figured out that he hangs onto the ball and doesn't go thru progressions. He wants to play like Russell Wilson but isn't athletic enough to do so. Nor is he near as quick in the pocket as Brees & that leads to tons of batted balls. He has over 20 batted passes this season. He does have pretty good accuracy down the field but I don't think he has the athleticism to be much more than a .500 QB. Rosen: is both immobile & inaccurate. I went and watched every one of his throws from the last 2 seasons, way too many misses on routine throws. |

I have a theory that at any point in time there are 5 guys that can play NFL QB at an elite level. Just 5. Some guys are on and off that list season to season, and some guys hit it and stay there for most of their career. These are the guys that you can win a SB in any given season with. These are your Aaron Rodgers/Drew Brees/Tom Brady/Peyton Manning types. Mahomes is that guy, and the only one of the young guns that I think is offically in that club.
Then there's the second tier which is like the next 10 guys in which you need some real help; a killer defense, and a little luck but you can get it done, just probably not year in and year out. Then there's everyone else, and if you've got a bottom 17 guy you're wasting your time. Since Len Dawson, we've had bottom half guys with 3 exceptions: Montana, Green, and Smith (all of whom were second tier guys). Montana by that time still had a little magic left, but he was a shadow of his SB winning self. Green and Smith were decent, above average, but not special. It would've taken some luck and some stellar defensive play for them to win it all. That's kind of the lens I look at QB's through-are they a top 5 guy or a potential top 5 guy? Are they a second tier guy that's GOOD but not GREAT and will need help? or are they in that bottom half in which you're spinning your wheels. I don't think you're going to win any 'bowls with Dak. I liked him as a mid-round pick. Danny Dimes...well...I mean he LOOKS like an NFL QB. What does he do well? Shrug. I don't know. I haven't seen enough to say for sure, but he just seems so...unassuming. Who knows. I just haven't seen FIRE from the kid yet, but that's maybe not fair. Wentz I'm meh on; and a fair amount of that is availability. Winston's entertaining, I'll give him that. I wouldn't want to have him as my QB if I was serious about trying to contend. He's a young Fitzpatrick. Jimmy G I think is pretty good, but just pretty good. He's a solid second tier guy. Watson has that thing where he makes people better around him. He's better than he should be judging him by his physical attributes. So is Drew Brees. Now he ain't Brees, but who knows what the future will hold? I'd say he's the best bet to join Mahomes in that longterm elite 5 group. |

Yeah, I think Watson is a tick behind Mahomes obviously, but he's right there. He's really good.
Wentz is physically on that level, but he just gets hurt a lot. It's hard to really judge these guys because so much is about the situation they go into. If you put Mahomes on this years say, Jets team, or this years Cowboys team, it's just not gonna be the same. That's not a shot at Mahomes, but he's got Andy and a great surrounding cast and system. That shit matters. |

So, let's say the following teams advance..
Ravens, Patriots, Chiefs, Texans, Bills and Titans. 49ers, Packers, Saints, Eagles, Seahawks and Vikings. You have a handful of elite guys there - statistically this year, I would say that Jackson, Mahommes, Rodgers, Brees, Wilson and Jimmy G are the tops of this group right now. There's not too much (statistically speaking) separating the bunch, you have a couple of guys blowing it out, but the rest aren't that far behind. Tannehill, Wentz, Allen, Watson and Brady ... maybe even Cousins are not quite the locks at the position as the others this season. I think the bolded teams are the best suited to make a run to the title game.

I think Wentz is a lot better than you are giving him credit and I think he is miles better than Goff. He just needs to figure out how to protect the ball because 15 fumbles is un-freaking-real. But, if that is who he is, then yea.. you can have all the better talent but turning the ball over, or putting it on the ground, at that frequency is less than ideal.

I guess I'm just not buying into the Watson hype. He's like a much better version of Daunte Culpepper. More athletic,smarter, more competitive. But as a passer I'm not sure what that guy is without DeAndre. He's been jekyll and Hyde. A lot of games where he flat out does not look good. He's a good qb and Houston should be happy to have him. But no way do I put him even close to mahomes level.
