How do you rank these QB’s that are 26 or younger

Yikes people still buying the Allen hype huh?

 

What more does Burrow have to prove? The only QB who can say he beat both Mahomes and Allen in the playoffs.

Well, it’s a team game. Burrow didn’t beat anyone. The Bengals might be the only team to beat the Chiefs and Bulls in the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean Allen isn’t a better QB. And I’d only say he’s very slightly better.  Burrow has a lot more help than Allen does.

No one has anything solid to back up any such projections. I’m just thinking of how they each looked in college and how I thought that would translate to the NFL. For example, I was very high on Josh Allen when he was in the draft but we didn’t need a QB at that time.   Stroud has shown far more than any of these guys did in college except maybe Burrow, and Stroud still has the advantage over Burrow in the touch and accuracy. 

The list of guys who "showed so much in college" and went in the top 10 picks is sooooo incredibly long on busts... probably longer than those who made it, particularly at the QB spot. 

Of course, you never hit the shot you don't take, but c'mon let's not crown someone for the HoF based on their college performance.

Who did that?  First thing I said was there’s no way to know for now, but if I’m projecting based on what knowledge we do have, I like him better than the others on the list.  Didn’t say anything about HoF bound, no one on that list is yet. Only youngish QB in the NFL that can say that is Mahommes.

Sorry, my bad. It's just with all the pre-draft hype around here you'd think there were four Hall of Fame bound QBs on the board in the first round and we will just die if we don't trade the farm for one of these gems.

After a while, it gets ridiculous hearing it again and again. You might not have been one of those doing it, but there's a contingent here that just devours the hype and wants you to grab a handful of it, too.

Eh it happens. I do really like Stroud, and if we were given the option of taking any of the listed QBs at the same price, the only ones I’d take Stroud over would be Young or Tua, just because the others have actually proven it. But in a stakes free guessing game, I think Stroud will be the best of them.

Yeah that's why the Bills were the favorites coming into the season. Media hyped up Allen over a playoff battle with Mahomes in which he lost. He couldn't live up to the hype this year.

 

Burrow is just a better QB than Allen even with a bad Oline.

if I’m projecting out a couple years, I’d put Stroud between Burrow and Herbert and Young between Jackson and Hurts. If I’m projecting full career, Stroud at the top, Young between Herbert and Jackson

Can I get some Powerball and MegaMillions numbers Nostradamus?

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
