We may never see this Again when it comes to Qbs

I was watching this fantasy football progam around 4 pm CT. The host lameted that only one Qb so far had passed for 300 yards and it made me think the Golden age of the qb might be over. He said defenses now get to.the qb quicker than ever. As a result you see shorter pass attempts.

Me i have another viewpoint that adds or compliments his thoughts. Its that qb talent has taken a dip. Its not indicating the current group of qbs ate bad. Its more indicative of how great the talent was at that position from 2005 to late 2019s.

In that time period 1st tier Qbs Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Peyton played. While greats such as Warner and Farve were winding down thier careers at that time. In a tier below them you had Rothlisberger, Ryan, Stafford, Romo, There were also who played good for a few year stretch in that time.

Its highly unlikely we will ever see qb talent at that level ever again in the NFL.

Yeah that golden era is over. And it’s an ebb and flow thing, prior to the QB era you had the RB era. I currently feel this is a WR era.

Phillip Rivers, Russel Wilson, Jay Cutler and Matt Ryan were in that era too.

Defenses are also playing more 2 high to combat. I think that’s the reason Payton is struggling offensively. It’s a system that wants to throw the ball down field but defenses aren’t allowing it, and yet it’s also an offense that would rather pass to set up the run than run to set up pass. I’m sure it’s very frustrating for him

A frustrated Payton is a pass happy Payton

The best offenses in the league right now can run the ball or threaten run via formation
