remote controller 133 Posted March 8, 2022 Another top QB gone from the NFC. Top 11 Qb's AFC - Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow, Jackson, Wilson?, Lawrence, M. Jones, Carr, Tannehill, Baker Top 11 Qb's NFC - Rodgers, Stafford, Murray, Dak, Cousins, Garappolo, Ryan, Hurts, Fields, Heinicke, D. Jones That is a blaring difference in talent level ....imho.

I was just picking the top 10, in my opinion, from either Conference.(ended up with 11) Where do you figure Cousins would fit in the AFC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I ranked the AFC QB's based what I think their ceilings are, I'd go with... Burrow Mahomes Herbert Allen Wilson After that, I'd have Cousins at worst, equal to Jackson because I think Jackson is a very limited QB. I don't think he has the passing ability to be a top end QB. I think his athleticism makes up for a certain amount, but unless he gets lucky, a-la a Cam Newton - 2015 type season where you have a great defense, play a soft schedule, and you have great match-ups in the playoffs, I don't envision many playoff wins in Jackson's career. I'd also put Carr with those two as well. Tannehill is definitely behind those three. After that, while it's still early for some of the young guys, I'd say of those other guys in the AFC you mentioned... Lawrence, Jones, Mayfield, I'm not so sure they're even starters in the league in 3 years. Now, I'm certainly not going to sit here and say that there's a lot of back end talent in the NFC either, I just wouldn't say that there's a big gap. After the top 5, I think it's a crap shoot across the board. In the NFC, I'd say the top 5 (ceilings), are... Rodgers Stafford Dak Murray Cousins So I basically see 1 guy better in the AFC (Wilson), being markedly better than 1 guy (Cousins), in the NFC. I'd even go as far to say that Carr, Cousins, Garoppolo, Jackson, & Ryan are at the same level... just have different skill sets to get there. I don't see much of a difference between M. Jones, Lawrence, Mayfield, D. Jones, Fields, & Hurts. I think none are starters in 3 years. I can tell you this... while I have no idea how good or bad Trask will be, as a Tampa fan, I think I'm only 1 season away from finding out if Trask is a top 5 QB in the NFC because the bar is set fairly low. If Tampa were in the AFC, I'd say top 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted March 8, 2022 Forget AFC vs NFC; how 'bout them AFC WEST QBs! Patrick Mahomes Russell Wilson Justin Herbert Derek Carr Mahomes, Herbert and Carr were 3 of the top 5 in passing yardage last season; Wilson could get there in Denver just trying to keep up with the other 3.

Ray_T 587 Posted March 11, 2022 well, if they are smart they also trade away the WR. its a waste having WR that good on the roster without a good QB to toss em the ball. then again, I guess there is still time to work a deal. in the end, you want a player who wants to be there, and if the rumours about Wilson wanting out are true, better to trade now before the value drops some more. the biggest mistake a lot of teams make is hanging onto a player too long. at the end you have a player making way too much money and not producing enough. (or worse... producing just enough to keep you from getting a top draft pick so you can draft a difference maker) If I'm a seattle fan, I"m at least happy they decided to rip off the band aid. now the rebuild begins.

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted September 21, 2023 Wilson had 7 sacks, lost a fumble & had a pick. Was stuck at a shade over 250 yards passing until the final bomb. Best hope I can see for this offense is Javonte in the screen game & Jeudy underneath. Otherwise they’re headed for another long season at Mile High. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 815 Posted September 21, 2023 I considered Wilson off free agency this week (burrow questionable), but after learning how frustrated Peyton is with Wilson, I'm worried if he turns the ball over and Denver is losing going into half-time against Miami... Peyton might bench him. Decided to look elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
