Current QB talent

[Couchpotato]

Is there more talent at the QB position currently than at any other time in NFL history? I think so.

Mahomes
Hurts
Jackson
Allen
Burrow
Rodgers
Lawernce
Herbert
Tua (if he can stay healthy)

I can't think of another point in NFL history when there was anywhere near is amount of talent in the league at the same time. And most of those guys are young and will be in the league for 10+ more years, so there's more talent coming...

2019 was really a Golden Year for college quarterbacks (Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Hurts all putting up crazy numbers) and I remember thinking that it would be huge influx of talent into the NFL. They haven't disappointed, that's for sure.

Drop Rodgers, But yea, there is a ton of QB talent now days, hopefully there is one more out there somewhere for the Colts.

Rodgers is a year removed from back to back MVP seasons. He's still a top 10 QB.

Is this group better than the previous group of Brady, the Mannings, Brees, Kurt Warner, Big Ben, Rodgers, Russel Wilson, Rivers, Stafford?

And dang near on Social Security. He doesn't seem to be able to just force a win anymore. But yea, he is a good quarter back.

More to come

This years NFL Draft is stocked with good QBs

 

[candycorn]

More college teams are running pro-style offense.

Unlike most of the OP's rants...this analysis is spot on.

From a pure talent standpoint. Yeah I think they are.

The QB talent isn't any better than any other time in the history. The game has changed. If the majority of these guys tried to play the game of the 70s and 80s, they wouldn't be there a quarter of the way through the season.

Why? They are bigger faster and stronger than the QB's playing then. Why would they be less competitive?

Todays QBs are much faster, stronger, mobile and have better arms

It is clear you never watched games during the era I mentioned. That's OK, next year when the NFL goes to flag football, maybe you'll understand. Comparing the QB protections of today's game to what was in place in the 70s and 80's is comical. The game was MUCH more physical during those years.

Rodgers is a year removed from back to back MVP seasons. He's still a top 10 QB.

He's become something of a mental case. Seems to be dragging down overall team morale. Time to send him packing from GB IMVHO.

Not even close
Todays NFL Linemen are bigger, faster and stronger

You're crazy. Neither DL or even LB's would have been able to keep up with these guys. They would run circles around them. They outrun modern LBs. Lamar Jackson would make defenses from the 70's look like they were playing in concrete shoes.

But one of the Jack Tatum hits on Mahomes and he wouldn't play for half a season.

 

[evenflow1969]

This is tough to say. Much like baseball and basketball all of the recent rule changes are in the offense favor.

Just one hit from the likes of Lester Hayes, Ronnie Lott, Mean Joe Greene, Lawrence Taylor etc and these guys would be sidelined. There are so many QB protections in place today that you can't even compare the games. I haven't had much respect for the NFL since the bullshit "in the grasp" rule was tried. The unnecessary roughness penalties are a joke. Enjoy your flag football. I have better things to do with my time.
