QuoteRamUK I guess Tannehill, Winston and Bortles would be called franchise QB's, yet all are under threat and maligned by fans and media. Mariota is barely any better and Carr isn't looking like a guy being paid top 3 QB money. Can any of those really be called franchise QB's? It seems to be there are 3 or 4 levels.

QuoteDeadpool 1 QB I am going to say will wash out right now: Jarrett Stidham. All arm talent, no leadership, not clutch, no brains. And I can say this (and this isn't just for ZN btw) he will not make my top 5 round list for the 2019 draft and he will declare. He is beyond hype over substance.

QuoteDeadpool Quote Deadpool He is the only name that comes to mind. Are you suggesting Nick Foles should be the comp we use going forward or just pointing out that Air Raid QBS can succeed?

QuoteKeithA39 Other than the two Mannings, I can't recall a quarterback picked in the top 10 who started for a team that won the superbowl. That's a long time. Am I wrong? Well, yes you're wrong actually. Going back only as far as 1960 for the draft year, besides the Mannings, there's Namath, Griese, Bradshaw, Plunkett, Simms, McMahon, Elway, and Aikman.

Quotedzrams QuoteRamUK In the NFL. I have no clue where you get the belief that 3 elite QB's are drafted every year! Ther are more high quality RB's taken than there are QB's, but more importantly they have a much reduced impact on the team. My original comment was that the Giants probably messed up taking Barkley if Darnold turns out to be a high quality QB. IMO, there is a distinctioby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamUK In the NFL. I have no clue where you get the belief that 3 elite QB's are drafted every year! . I think he really means franchise qbs. I agree that "elite" is too strong a term--there's usually at most 3 or 4 of those a decade. In terms of franchise qbs there's a couple of dozen in the league and yes, 2-4 more every year.

QuoteRamUK Most of the talking heads thought that with OBJ back, a star rusher SB and adding Solder to the OL, that the Giants would be a halfway decent team capable of 8 or so wins. To think you're going to get a top flight QB picking in the teens is rolling the dice and then placing your winnings (if there were any) on roulette. I *think* that because it seems like there have been some goby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamUK Over whether you take a great running back as the Giants did when there are QB's sat there and you have a declining ageing QB at the help. This is somewhat all qualified by the fact that sooner or later the Giants will add a qb. Either way that team was not set up for a rookie qb to have much success. I don't think anyone is arguing that in the future you don't take a qb if yoby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotejemach Brockers, to me, stood out like a sore thumb. I bet I commented on him 4+ times in the game as to what in the blah blah blah is he doing? I expect an improved effort this week.

Quotedzrams QuoteLMU93 I agree. When they drafted Barkley after signing Solder to play LT and also then drafted Hernandez at guard I thought they could be set up to bounce back to 8-8 or even 9-7.

Quotemax Fisher took talented players and had them winning 7 games. McVay took the same players and had them winning 11 games. The difference between a pedestrian coach and a top tier coach.

No not all teams have an offensive rookie of the year who is also then the offensive player of the year, a defensive rookie of the year who is also a defensive player of the year, and an all pro qb.

QuoteJYB I wonder how much of this is subconsciously being lackadaisical, being too casual about following assignments, or perhaps not having a sense of urgency, etc is due to realizing the offense is going put up 35 points every game.

Quotestlramz Actually many of the articles just take quotes from the interviews and press conferences that are readily available online.
