We may never see this Again when it comes to Qbs

Maybe the “era of great quarterbacking” is over, but most likely not.

In my experience (55 yrs old) it seems older fans in particular frequently believe the quality of play is getting worse as top flight QBs from one generation give way to the next generation.

When Montana, Elway, Marino, and Kelly were phasing out people thought the next gen would never equal them, but guys like Aikman. Young, and Favre kept it going.

The same thing happened again as those guys got older and only Peyton Manning appeared to be the next legend. Yet, just a couple of years later though and we see Brady, Brees, Rodgers, etc. emerge as the next crop of generational HOF QBs.

Now it’s happening again. We already have Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, and Burrow, with others like Prescott and Herbert close to their level and young guns like Stroud and Purdy pushing their way into the upper echelon in their very short careers.

As such, I don’t see QB play getting worse, just different, as the game evolves. I also think older fans are often resistant to this evolution and the eventual changing of the guard involved.
