Honestly surprised that Caleb didn't get the nod this week
Stop cherry picking what I said , roles were different but no less demandingThere's a history, I'll leave it at that. When someone wants to claim the demands of a QB in today's game is the same as the demands of a QB playing in the 30's who called his own plays out of a playbook of 20 pages and throws the ball 9 times a game it becomes frustrating to even have a conversation.
I think you may be using draft selection number to determine "franchise" QB. Brock Purdy was the last pick but is SF's franchise QB. Just like Bryce Young who was #1 will never be anyone's franchise QB, but based on draft spot, you have the inverse.I can argue it because they called plays . And yes my definition of franchise qb is elite nor did I say tier 2 is a game manager . . It is easier to win with a franchise qb but it isn’t the end all be all

Obviously what is a franchise QB is subjective. But I haven't heard anyone other than here say that means elite. I also don't consider every QB above your Tier 4 to be franchise QBs.The entire debate over what constitutes a "Franchise QB" is based on an absence of reasonableness, practical thought, and an easy acceptance of the term being applied equally to every individual who's tagged with that title, in part because there aren't alternatives.
It is an ambiguous term that has been summed up roughly as... "A Franchise quarterback is one who is average or better— a quarterback you would rather pay big money than explore the alternatives or one who a team will pay even if you don't. This quarterback is often seen as the face of the franchise and is crucial to the team's long-term success."
Now if you've read the above you might have taken a few mental notes, specifically,
1. "Average or better"
2. "long-term success"
Neither of these could or should be applied to all equally considering their definitive ambiguousness.
So how do we move towards resolving undefined debates to qualified disambiguation debates when using "Franchise QB?'
Perhaps the better question is... why aren't we referring to a franchise quarterback in more defined terms as outlined in the following? (At least we'd know what we're more specifically talking about)
Tier 1 franchise QB
A Tier 1 quarterback can carry his team each week. The team wins and is a championship contender/winner because of him. He expertly handles pure-passing situations. He has no real holes in his game.
Tier 2 franchise QB
A Tier 2 quarterback can carry his team sometimes but not as consistently. He can handle pure-passing situations in doses and/or possesses or other dimensions that are special enough to elevate him above Tier 3. He has an uncorrectable hole or two in his game which often prevents him from reaching contender and championship levels.
Tier 3 franchise QB
A Tier 3 quarterback is a legitimate starter but needs a heavier running game and/or defensive component to win. A lower-volume dropback passing offense suits him best.
In comparison to the above, I'll add this tier which unlike any of the three above is NOT a "Franchise QB," but is more aptly described as a journeyman, backup.
Tier 4 Non-franchise QB
A Tier 4 quarterback who is generally a veteran and ideally would not start all 17 games.

I sorry. I'll close by saying Jayden looks to be a franchise QB and elite!Franchise QB arguments blowing up my ‘thread to track Jayden Daniels accomplishments’ making me LOL at this point.
Might have to create a ‘Franchise QB‘ thread for y’all to go at it making it hard to see 1 Jayden post per page at this rate!
