“Herbert and stroud are top 5 qbs, but I wouldn’t put them before any of the top 5 on this list” lol so they aren’t a top 5 then.

[@SamuraiDynastyFantasy]

yeah that was a ridiculous statement… if you put one in you have to take one out. Lamar is a 2 time MVP, Burrow, Allen, and Mahomes are locks… imo I’d put Rodgers or Stafford at 5 since… Herbert can’t win, Stroud only 1 year, Goff & Dak look better then they are cause of their line & defense.

And Pat is "slowly" becoming just as out of touch. "I mean Poyer's gone, is Mycah gonna come back? they've already lost Tre White". can he not at least follow current AFC East signings? Poyer to Miami, Mycah is 100% confirmed not coming back as an aging S in a deep FA S pool. Tre White tore his Achilles in October after tearing his ACL less than 2 seasons ago and BUF has been moved on since Thanksgiving last year lol.

[@scottym.9077]

“The way we talk about QBs is awful.” Sorry, but when you soak up 15% to 25% of the cap space, you’re going to take a lot of the blame. Even if for no other reason than the fact that your contract forces the team to settle for lesser talent at other positions.

[@nflclipzking7167]

Exactly if your gonna play the most important position and be by far most paid you don’t get to pass the blame especially when qbs are given top dollar contracts after not proving anything yet

[@AJCsr]

What that doesn't factor into the equation is a head coach wasting a QB's rookie years when his price is near nothing to the team ! Lookin' at you, Harbaugh !

[@andrewb378]

This is part of why I don't understand Dak being so high up on these leaderboards. The dude is getting $40mil a year and he has *consistently* choked in the biggest games. If he wasn't soaking up 15% of the salary cap, maybe the team could've kept a lot of the talent they've had to cut over the last few years. The man threw 2 horrendous picks and couldn't do anything against the Packers, an offensive-focused 8 seed that barely snuck into the playoffs, but we're supposed to come back this year and act like he's better than kirk cousins, trevor lawrence, jalen hurts, brock purdy, and especially jordan love, y'know, the guy that just beat him?

[@riffbw]

Chiefs fan that likes Goff a lot. I was upset with his contract. He took too much money. To me, he'd be the closest NFC rival to Mahomes if he came in at $48/year and let the Lions build up around him. At $53 he's eating a lot of cap and St Brown just got paid. That's a lot tied up in two guys. We honestly don't give him enough credit. 2 SB appearances with different teams. He's a consistent winner. But I think he just took too much money and the Lions may have peaked at appearing in the NFCCG.

[@riffbw]

@@andrewb378 because Dak has been incredibly consistent when healthy and wins a lot of game. He's a lot like Manning in that, or Rivers. These guys win you a lot of games, but struggle in the biggest ones at times. Manning managed to get a ring in Indy which sets him apart from other great, but winless QBs. Even Marino could be mentioned. Dak isn't as good as Marino vs his peers, but in the end you have a solid regular season QB and trading out could be a massive downgrade. Long story short, the Cowboys could do a whole lot worse than Dak and Dak could thrive somewhere else away from Jerry's meddling.

[@jamesschenck3786]

When you have the greatest left tackle of this generation, and maybe the most talented offensive group ever, it balances itself out. Purdy deserves every bit of blame when they don’t succeed as he’s the clear odd man out

[@RDSports5]

​@jamesschenck3786 When hasn't he succeeded though. In his first season, when he came in Week 13 by the way, he helps the offense go from 24 ppg to 33 ppg, and get knocked out by injury in the NFCCG. In his second season (first as the starter in Week 1, and with zero off season work due to rehabbing his throwing elbow) he throws for more yards than any other quarterback had in the franchise's history. A history that includes Joe Montana and Steve Young, both HOFs and all timers. He played well in the SB too, but the team around him turned it over several times, and he STILL went into OT with one of the greatest QB talents we've ever seen. If an extra point doesn't get blocked, or a muffed punt not fumbled, Purdy is SB champion. That's how tight those margins were

Evaluating QBs, and really any player, generally falls into two categories. Skillset and accomplishments. And almost everyone weaves between the two depending on what point they want to make.

@@drew388 Cousins can't win a game that isn't in the regular season, FACTS. Cousins can't run like Josh Allen, FACTS. So you're discounting half his game rt there that's accounted for around 50 TDs. Josh Allen broke Dan Marino's record for most TDs in his first 5 seasons, Cousins can't do that. Cousins has to have the best WR in the NFL to even look competent, and he still can't win, how many great teams is he gonna lead to first round exits in the playoffs? He had a better team than Allen had last year and he didn't make it near as far, never does. Success is what matters and Kirk doesn't have it when it counts, good regular season QB, but poor under pressure. Josh Allen has played less and his playoff stats murder Cousins' stats. Keep dreaming. Allen is in the MVP running the last 4 years, Cousins hasn't even been in that conversation, get real and put down the meth.

@@drew388 Josh averages way more TDs, how many more rushing TDS does Allen have, over 50? He also more throwing since he entered the league, and he doesn't have the stable of pass catchers Cousins has had. You could also say the same about Josh Allen's playoffs, except he has won more. How many times has his defense let him down too? Allen has one of the best performances ever put to tape in the playoffs. Does Cousins? That Mahomes, Allen game was the best game ever played bc they're both unreal talented. They're easily top 2 QBs and Cousins struggles to make it into top 10 lists. This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard in football, no analysts alive rank Cousins better than Allen, there is reason for that. Go look at their player comparison on pro football focus. If Cousins is so good why does he keep getting traded over and over? Allen signed a 10 year contract, something Cousins has never been offered. You guys are delusional.

Yeah the Lions weren't good when he was here but we did make the playoffs 3 times with him and had multiple other winning seasons. That may not sound like much but considering the non Calvin Johnson and Ndamukong SuH(for 4 years) players he played with it showed how much better he made the team and how little talent he actually had around him. Only once had a top 20 defense(won 11 games that year), never had a top 20 running game and always had a terrible O line. He made guys like Golden Tate(good player but never elite outside Staff) and Kenny Goloday(terrible without him) Pro Bowlers. Took would be 2 win teams to 7-8 win teams but never got the respect cause they only won 8 games when in reality if he had any semblence of a roster they would've been contenders.
