Comparing current young stud qbs to older ones

Just an interesting topic I thought of. If you were to compare the current up and coming qbs in the nfl to a former or current older qb, who would you say?

 

Cam Newton = John Elway: He has the magic, he can carry bad teams and make good teams great. Huge arm, keeps plays alive with scrambling, and their playing styles are oh so similar.

 

Joe Flacco = Jake Delhomme: Both are above average qbs who had good teams around them to lead to success. They have great moments and at the same time, terrible moments. They rely on a huge arm to in a sense, chuck it and pray, and it embodies them as players.

 

Matthew Stafford = Brett Favre: Both are wild west gunslingers, both can put 5 tds or 5 ints on you on any given sunder. Wild arm, love of the game, and a risk taker.

 

Andrew Luck = Peyton Manning: This has been made since before the draft, and it should last forever.

 

Russel Wilson = Steve Young: Leadership, lives off scrambling ability, does not make mistakes, and makes good teams great, and is very precise.

 

Feel free to add others.

:D

So far, I have seen nothing that makes anyone think of Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck together; except that they both played for Indianapolis; their fathers played in the NFL; have so so arms, and [the fact] Manning had a ton of INT's his rookie year. 

 

Peyton is a surgeon. Luck is a Luddite, in comparison. And I like Andrew Luck.

Ironically Cam is more like Peyton Manning than Luck is. Like Manning, Cam is taking a team that hasn't tasted victory on any level in years to it's pinacle in three years. He was the first to break pretty much all of Manning's record. The media is just molding Luck into Manning's image  because it's easy...But Cam is more like Manning in real team and leadership achievements, than Luck. Luck didn't inherit the same team Manning did in 1989. Cam pretty much did with the Panthers.

 

Also, I wonder if Matthew Stafford has the ego of Brett "DIVA-BOY" Farve?

I never thought Jake had a huge arm and never heard him described that way.

Jake had an arm, dude. (pre surgery, anyway)

I can't remember and can't find it, but I believe he threw a 70-75 yard ball in a quarterback challenge one year.

His TD pass to Moose in the SB looked like a flick of the wrist - he threw it at his own 12 and Moose caught it inside the Pats' 35

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
