It's pretty crazy to think that the eldest QB in the AFC race is Mahomes.
Mahomes. Allen, Burrow, Herbert should all be a lot of fun to watch this decade for sure. Not too sure on Lamar or Tua staying healthy enough. I actually worry a little bit about Josh Allen at times too, even though he's built like a tank.
Is anybody else picking up Philip Rivers vibes with Herbert? A great regular season QB who just never does anything big in the playoffs and beyond. Herbert is 1-5 vs playoff teams this year. I think he will eventually get slotted in a second tier to guys like Mahomes Allen and Burrow (maybe some other young QBs earn their way into this tier) just like Philip Rivers throughout most of his career.
no trevor?
Rivers would play like the 5th best QB one year but then the 20th best the next. Not sure I'd expect that big of a drop in Herbert's game but I could see him in the second tier if Trevor Lawrence passes him up.
Oh yeah, Lawrence too if he continues to improve at this rate. Honestly, this year is more of what I think we will see.no trevor?
As far as team success maybe but Rivers didn't have anywhere near the athletic ability or cannon that Herbert has. I think if the Chargers can get the right coach and stay healthy for a change, Herbert could be great.
I worry about Allen as well. Big Ben and Cam Newton were also built like tanks, and while neither of them suffered big injuries, both had to deal with nagging stuff as they got older. The thing about Allen is that I feel like he has already demonstrated an ability to get better as a passer. It's entirely possible that he learns to ramp down some of the running and hits in the offseason and instead rely on his arm in the passing game. He can always dial it back up in the postseason.
That is amazing stat. Goes to show how much talent exists today at the QB position.
Yeah unlike some years most of the new ones are big underdogs. Not the Chargers though.
