The golden age of quarterbacks ended almost a decade ago. At it's peak in the 80s you had Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Jim Everett, Warren Moon, John Elway, and Troy Aikman all actively playing.
Many of the QBs, the rookies that are celebrated right now, don't last long. Basically they are running backs who can throw. Quickly, injuries slow them down and they are forced to throw more and that's when they can't cut it any more.
Throw in Bernie Kosar, Steve Young, Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms, etc.
The 80s and the early 90s were the "golden age" of quarterbacks, from a QUANTITY standpoint. So many great quarterbacks duking it out every year.
