I could add in Brees, Big Ben, Eli twice, and Peyton Manning again... Then Rogers as well along with Wilson.

Point is the league hasn't changed much in the last 10 yrs or so and good pocket passers will still win championships.

And so will good running QB's
The point is having a good/great QB
But yeah, the league has changed quite a bit in the last 10 years
Big Ben is a break contain guy btw, not a running QB per se, but a guy who couldnt be taken down in crunch time

IMO a big reason these younger QB's look better than previous young QB's is because the NFL has largely incorporated the spread offense.

Why have a drafted QB sit and watch during the cheapest years of his career when you can install an offense that is familiar and doesn't take too much to learn. Couple that with the athletic ability that more and more young QB's possess, and you see what we see now.

I would personally take Burrow all DAY over Murray. Dude is bigger and has great wheels, but throws darts from the pocket. Checks more boxes for me.

Allen is good, wicked strong arm and amazing wheels for a guy that size.
He's got a lot of Cam Newton in him from what I've seen, as in can look completely unstoppable at times. And other, looks like he couldnt hit the ocean from the Bow of the Queen Mary
We saw him come apart in the 2nd half against the Rams, and he was pretty awful in the playoff loss.
If Murray was a couple inches taller, I'm afraid of what he would be
Agree about Josh Allen... he has a cannon for an arm, is one of the best running QB's, and scores a lot of TD's running the ball. But his biggest problem is that he also makes a couple of boneheaded plays every game and he is going to get hurt at some point. He is as tough as they come, but fearless like Carson Wentz, unfortunately.

There are players who have “the cameras are on me“ look in their eyes and they care about that, or they don’t.

The guy that tunes the cameras out, and focus solely on the game as if nobody is around. That is what we see in the best... Manning, Brady, even Wilson.

Josh Allen, I don’t know... yeah, maybe like Newton, he seems more aware he’s a big shot and the cameras on.

No way I can explain it really. But he stikes me that way.

Those types get streaky, IMO, because the outside world matters. Their confidence rides that, more than their own self confidence.

No reason to vent. The Rams did better by not playing, and it gave us time to wipe the Phins game out of our minds.
