Holy Young Qb's Batman! Nfl is a mess...

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

Can anyone remember a year with this many untested qbs? Even those with less than 3 years experience...

 

Other than Brady...Big Ben ..Rogers and Brees.. its a preschool out there.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Brady, Ben, Brees, Rogers, Stafford, Ryan, Wilson, Newton, Dalton, Luck, Rivers, Eli...

 

Thats close to a third of the league with quite veteran starters.

[Big Guy 1,400]

No......and yes it does seem to be a young crop.

 

Wow, right now I can only think of a handful of quality veteran / senior QB's, and half of them are close to retirement.

 

Brady

Rodgers

Brees

Rothlesberger

Rivers

Manning

 

who am I missing?

[bandrus1 413]

I think cousins belongs in the conversation as a pretty steady hand

Stafford

[Big Guy 1,400]

Stafford

 

Yes, and Wilson crossed my mind as well but they imo are the next tier as far as vets I do believe, more mid level.

What?

[Big Guy 1,400]

 

What?

 

Am I wrong?

 

Not sure of the age of Stafford & Wilson, but they seem younger than the others I listed.

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

Rivers...not an elite level qb.cant stay on field.

Russell...im not convinced..

Eli...too bi-polar

Luck has how many full seasons? 2

 

Maybe I overstated...but the average age of this years qbs has to be the lowest in modern era.

Stafford and Wilson are 30 and 29 respectively. Sure they are younger but I would categorize them as veterans

 

It all comes down to how long a player is in the league before you categorize them as veterans. I would go with OP and say anything over 3 years is a veteran..

[bandrus1 413]

Rivers....cant stay on field.

Rivers never misses games

 

Yes the NFL has an influx of qbs, but thats because there was a span of time where only 1 or 2 viable starters were coming out at a time. It's all cyclical. There was a big gap at rb talent, and now potential super stars are coming out in droves

I don't recall Rivers having this problem, Bradford sure.

The QB's aren't making the NFL a mess. It's going to be the new helmet rule that rains down a schitstorm. Multiple games each week will be turned by the whims of officials.

[Voltaire 4,556]

Blue is young but trustable (I put Garoppolo there because he only has a half year of starter experience.)

Red is young and unproven

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

I see luck...winston..mariota as young..Carr is on his 4th oc...

Rivers has the 4th longest stretch of consecutive starts in NFL history. WTF?

[Strike 3,956]

This thread is dumb

[jerryskids 5,188]

I think he meant Bradford.

Must of confused him with Bradford

[Big Guy 1,400]

 

I think he meant Bradford.

 

I also think so, I mixed up Stafford and Bradford for some dumb reason.

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

 

I think he meant Bradford.

You would be correct sir. My bad

[jerryskids 5,188]

Hoping he stays upright for AZ, and if not, that Josh Rosen is the Next Great Thing$#@!
