Who's gonna be the best?

[megalodon30]

Of the three QBs taken in round 1, which, in your opinion, is going to be the most successful? Going into the draft, I believed Carson Wentz was the best of this class. Now, seeing as how things have transpired, I'm all aboard the Lynch train, WOO WOO!!!

Also think Goff has the highest bust potential. He's gonna be the one that's asked to start day 1, while the other two could definitely be sitting this year. Also, he's playing in the NFC West, which is grueling enough for a hardened veteran. He's got the highest hill to climb. Not that he can't, but I don't like his odds.

So my prediction is Paxton Lynch will be the best (could just be a homer pick, I dunno), Wentz could make a few pro bowls, and Goff'll bust.

What say you?

Tom Brady and then Joe Montana

Since I didn't specify a year, point to you. Since I did specify a round (1, of which neither Montana nor Brady were selected in), point for me.

I picked Wentz with absolutely no confidence whatsoever. From a "value" perspective, I like Wentz best of the three.

While I dislike the Broncos, I think Lynch is in the best place to succeed. Denver already has a good defense and I'm sure both Elway and Kubiak will be able to build a good team around him.

 

[Battlelyon]

Of course Goff

Depends on what your standards are. I think the Broncos have a great core built for their team to compete for the playoffs often. I would compare it to when Flacco was drafted by the Ravens. Stat-wise it will probably be a competition between Goff and Lynch. I don't think Wentz is going to be that great.

This thread has 0 traction so I bumped it. Mention Brady and get 1000 posts a day. YW kid by the way

Goff will likely be out of football within 5 years.

I picked Wentz, but hope I'm wrong.

Lynch is probably walking into the best situation. Good team around him that really dedicated a lot to building up the run game and continuing to win on defense. Throw in the team didn't really sacrifice a ton of draft capital to get him so they have an opportunity to continue to build around him. They also have the best Cap Situation of the 3 teams moving forward. He also though is the least ready to start day 1 and is probably known more for his athletic ability than his actual QB ability compared to the other 2. Usually you would rather have those two things reversed.

Montana I can see in the discussion.

I'm not A fan of Goff Ive seen him make too many bad choices and struggle under pressure at the NCAA level. I could be wrong he may excel at the NFL level. But i'm not seeing it

Ya think???

Even if Denver didn't steal Lynch from Kansas City(but boy how I love that they did) I would've said him.

That's twice I've seen posters going out on a limb today.

Well with every season in the NFL having some of the biggest turnover in teams making the playoffs I would say it is not a completely obvious statement. Throw in the Broncos are playing a 1st place schedule compared to that of 2nd and 3rd place schedule for the other two teams. Philly has a new coaching staff so no clue how they will match up. So yes there are a lot of variables that play into all of this.

Broncos vs LA and/or Philly I'd say it is pretty obvious.

Not so much A limb Ive seen A lot of Goff with Cal. The best example I can give is the Cal/Utah game. With Cal trailing he had several opportunities to take over the game. Made awful choices that led to either picks off of bad reads or turnovers on downs. Missing open receivers and killing clock. Struggled under pressure and managed the clock poorly. Goff had 4-5 drives where he could have won that game and buckled. If you watch the second half of that game it brings up A lot of questions. When Goff is on he's on but when he's off he's a disaster. I could be wrong and I do wish him luck.But when you add what the Rams gave up to acquire him and it really has that first pick bust feel to it.
