We may never see this Again when it comes to Qbs

There’s a gap in talent with the 2019 class of Murray and Jones, 2021 class busting except maybe Lawrence, and 2022 being terrible.

Analogs:
Mahomes = Brady
? = P. Manning
? = Brees
? = Rodgers
Burrow = Luck
Allen = Rothlisberger
Prescott = Romo
Jackson = Vick
Stafford = Stafford = Herbert
Tua? = E. Manning
Cousins = Rivers
Goff = Ryan
Hurts = Wilson = McNabb
Carr = Dalton

Stroud and the 2024 class will have to wait for analogs. The depth of QB talent from 06-21 is tough to match. Burrow could make the leap.

Burrow could make the leap. He could have also played his best football, he has not been both available and good for a couple seasons now.

I think Baker Mayfield is making that leap after watching him today. He commanded that offense and was making presnap adjustments in a way I haven't seen other QB's do in some time outside of Mahomes. He scares me and I thought that dude was done. Maybe Cleveland really is that toxic for QB's. Love is another guy if he can shake a couple of bad games a season that could be special. Honestly, he reminds me a lot of Spencer Rattler. His high end games are as good as anyone but struggles with consistency.

I still think the two best QB's in the draft were Daniels in Penix. Daniels is going to have to stay healthy and Washington's receivers got no separation today leading to him running more than he should. That's a bad sign for his longevity but it may be the Bucs secondary was that good. I think when Penix gets a chance he is going to shock a lot of people. He has athletic ability but doesn't rely on it which seems to be that magic place that is winning championships right now. So the two best QB's in this draft may not even come of age for a couple seasons. I just don't see the Caleb Williams thing. He may be as great as everyone claims but I just haven't seen that from him since his Freshman season.

Then you have guys like Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert that seemed to have had it figured out but then regressed. I feel like analytics are playing a part there as well. To be great in this league you have to break through, then defenses figure you out and you have to break through again and again in the first 3-4 years. Defensive schemes figure out how to stop players in 3 games. It used to take 3 seasons.
