The way the Titans feel about Levis is eerily similar to what the Eagles did with Hurts. "You could be the guy, but you weren't a 1st rounder, meaning we don't have to commit to you. So we'll build a team around you. If you succeed, great. If not, the team is built for a 1st round QB next year"

@@dantelabella9753 I think my point was moreso that when you have less then a season of film on these QB's its a lot more difficult to judge them as "the one" or "not your guy." Neither guy should receive the benefit of the doubt as THE Guy, but both teams should be happy at least to have another year of promising young QB's. Also, gonna highly take the 40 TD+ comment with a grain of salt. There's very few QB's who have done that in NFL history, let alone rookies. Lets slow the roll on putting absurd expectations on a rookie like that.

[@Codeezey]

Tbh, if we’re being honest, I think Herbert should be a tier down and Tua should be in the same tier as him. Herb obviously has the physical gifts and wows you, hence the typical bias despite the losing record. And Tua went wild last season after the previous season of constant concussions, even being mentioned in the MVP conversation. I think he is under appreciated because he doesn’t throw the ball 70+ yards. But for some reason the dude whoops the ravens in a wild comeback for 6 TDs and gets zero credit.

[@mitchw4374]

The Tua hate is wild in this video. How is he ranked behind Jordan Love (who has just played one season), Anthony Richardson who played a whopping 4 games, and Purdy who puts up great stats just like him cause of his weapons. Two years ago Tua led the NFL in rating, and last year in yards. Also Herbert has won anything, and hasn't gotten better since his rookie season. He has had so many chances to bring his team back in a game with the last possession and failed to do so. Despite having the "rocket" arm, his career yards per attempt is 7.1 and Tua is 7.7 (including the years Flores held him back)

Actually, they often have 'their guy', it's just that 'their guy' often isn't very good at the footballing.

To say Brock Purdy is physically limited means that you don’t watch niners games. Purdy has the same 40 yard time and hand size as Patrick Mahomes, same ten yard split time as Lamar Jackson, and he’s got one of the strongest legs. He makes so many plays by scrambling out of pocket instead of staying in, as the Oline has absolutely been atrocious. He won the NFCCG by rushing 50 yards in the second half. He already has the same number of playoff wins as Hurts and Lamar combined

[@ryuukin178]

Yup purdy is elite. Also had one of the best stats!

[@cringecringe4342]

I was offended that he put purdy below hurts when he has better stats

[@hbk4ever2]

He’s not talking about combine stats, he’s talking about the fact that teams are not building their defensive gameplans around stopping Brock Purdy. I’m a big Purdy guy but to insinuate he’s on the level of guys like Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, Allen etc. is disingenuous. His ceiling is nowhere near as high as theirs. He’s shown some flashes of having elite games but that’s not the norm for him and he’s also shown flashes of a 7th round pick. He’s also had the benefit of a top 3 NFL coach and an absolutely loaded roster. That’s not a knock on him per se, but he’s not the engine of that offense. He fits in perfect with the Niners because he doesn’t go out and make mistakes because he has great awareness and is very strong in the mental aspects of QB play, which speaks more to his point of him being physically limited. He’s nowhere near the passing threat of guys like Mahomes Allen Burrow or Stafford nor the rushing threat of guys like Allen Hurts or Lamar, but he’s smart enough to take advantage of a defense if they’re too focused on stopping the other weapons on that offense and leave him enough room to run. He’s a guy who’s gonna keep you in games, but not a guy who’s gonna take over a game (even in the Lions game it wasnt like he exploded and brought them back, but he stayed consistent didn’t make mistakes and then the run game got it going and the defense locked down)

Seeing this and realizing my Packers have had 2 straight hall of fame quarterbacks, and now we have a different but we’re still in a top 10 situation. Like we all knew this, myself included. But when it’s laid out like this, really makes you feel it to be real. Love could obviously still fall off and be trash, personally think it’s too early to tell, but if he only continues to grow, then wow.

[@seanriethmaier5773]

As a die hard rams fan Stafford is elite. The moves and actions the Rams are making are another SB window to let Stafford retire with multiple rings. Then theyll worry about QB but from what i see the Rams are putting all their chips in Stafford

[@JR-li4wd]

Watching this after the first round and this was pretty spot on. The only difference is the giants seem pretty confident in their qb after drafting an o lineman, the raiders just couldn’t really draft a qb bc all the good ones were taken and the falcons decided to draft penix so they must have a lot of questions😂

[@quantumchaos7549]

As a giants fan I wouldn’t necessarily say that the giants feel like Daniel Jones is their guy. However, they want to make sure that whoever comes in next year will have a chance to actually compete, kinda like what the bears are doing for Caleb

[@JR-li4wd]

@@quantumchaos7549 that's probably true lol. Ig my point was just that everyone who drafted a qb fell under bran's categories of people who needed a qb. And keep in mind my opinion isn't very well educated either lol

[@theAirborne17th]

Both the Broncos and Vikings needing a QB and are side by side in pick order is rough.

[@fatjonseatingadventures5429]

I think if you have Herbert in the elite category you move jags up to have their guy. The same issues that plague the chargers are what plague the jaguars. He for sure has question marks but I don’t think they move from him

[@MckieDs595]

Also Lawrence has had more success in the post season the Herbert. The love he gets is insane.

[@landonkurtz5150]

Herbert's locked in elite not a question

[@nathan.d.c]

100%

[@corndawg6007]

1000% disagree

[@rip-off793]

He is 30-32

[@Tigerz58_prod]

Ehh I would say top 10 but probably around 8-10 not elite elite. Still very good.

[@jebadaiah1228]

0 play off wins??? thats elite?? no play off success

[@thedarudecactus3179]

we have Hendon Hooker as a backup in Detriot, I think he can pop off.

[@mariowilliams9206]

Geno Smith reminds me of the Rich Gannon situation

[@Daniel-ef6gg]

Everything you said about the Chargers sounded like Herbert should be in 'Have THEIR Guy' tier.

[@tanneredge9774]

As a Raiders fan, hearing the saints don’t have their guy still kinda hurts my heart as well. Derek Carr can still be that guy.

[@oldandbitter]

Closest example I can think of to the Geno Smith situation is Rich Gannon in the late 1990s.

[@sabbath_screamz666]

I cant believe you put Herbert above Purdy

[@heraditestreamingarchive1100]

Looking at this, I think you needed an extra tier for the Saints and Giants and heck maybe the Browns: "Stuck with a bad QB contract". They know they don't have their guy. But the QBs they have are eating too much cap space to really move on right now and at best, they might take a late round flier on a QB like the Saints ended up doing.

[@fantilldeath528trajectory]

While the contract of Kirk Cousins doesn’t make sense the signing of Penix fits perfectly with what you said. The pick is honestly growing on me even if he is an older qb.

[@jacksonperez5615]

Putting Jalen hurts and Justin Herbert above Purdy is wild

[@davidmunoz1786]

It’s crazy how he straight up predicted the Falcons drafting a QB even though it was the shock of the draft
