Media Derek Carr is still top ten in QBR this season per ESPN (34 Viewers)

True, but Carr becomes straight up garbage if things aren't 100 percent perfect. That's the only way anybody can win with Carr is if you protect him like you have the Cowboys OL from the 90s or whoever had the best OL in history.

Most of the league lives in that same area. Cowboys fans say the same thing about Dak. And he's now the highest paid player in NFL history.

I’m not spoiled by Drew Brees. All I care about is if a QB racks up wins for us. Drew is immortal in my eyes and I’ve severely lowered my standards for anyone that comes behind him. It’s easier that way.

I had the same thought process, but indeed that second tier is fairly large these days, when you consider the top tier isn't as large as it once was.

Allen would indeed be near the top of the list of names on it, whereas Carr would be down the line. Unless and until Allen's Bills can somehow overcome the Chiefs in a playoff game, he'll remain second tier.

Thanks for the reply. I was curious of the thought behind the statement.

I don’t necessarily think Allen should bee in the same tier as Mahomes and one or two more, but he’s in a different tier than Herbert, who might be in a different tier than Carr, because he’s younger with more room to grow.
