Just look at the next 4 games...

Tua vs Herbert
Tua vs Lock
Tua vs Darnold
Tua vs Burrow


Then what hopefully turns into this generations Brady v Manning, Tua will welcome Mahomes into his house hopefully riding a nice win streak.

My goodness I cannot think of another time not only for so many exciting young QBs playing, on top of a lot of direct comparisons with the same draft class.


Let the debates begin, I know there were a lot of Herbert guys on this board. He is playing well but in my opinion he is what he was in college. A big time numbers guy not a big time closer. Great to have in fantasy but is basically a more athletic Phillip Rivers. He will be consistent but won’t drive them over the top. I had him at #2 behind Tua (I had and still have reservations about Burrow) . Glad to see him succeed so far but don’t think he will share that success this week, he is athletic but not big time elusive I see those angles that Murray overcame being closed with Herbert leading to sacks or short gains with big hits.

Lock thinks he better than he is, big arm, big talent but not a great QB. Saw him at Mizzou for three years never was great when they needed him to be. Has sucked when the game matters and surges in the 4th to look good on the stat sheet. Has tons of talent around him and still is wildly inconsistent. But the game is in Denver so let’s see if they like high effect hurts the game plan.

Darnold sucks lol, more importantly the Jets suck. Just keep disciplined and that game should be a good chance to build momentum.

Tua v Burrow, I have reservations about Burrow I can detail if wanted. But how exciting is the top 2 QBs going head to head year ONE. Burrow is making chicken salad out of chicken ****. But he plays to contact a lot so let Ogbah and Lawson eat and get after the ball. Tua would have won the showdown last year (on one leg btw) if Jeudy doesn’t drop two TD passes. Should be some extra juice for this game. Don’t think Tua is a guy who would call out people and proclaim a chip on his shoulder, but I think he wants Burrow bad and show regardless of injury he was QB1.

Let the games begin!!!!
 
I'm not sure that the class of 2000 will lead the way, but they will definitely be part of the answer.

We are a position in time where there are a LOT of older QBs about to transition into retirement, more than is usual I think... especially players who have been stellar. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch.
 
I'd say several younger QB's are about to lead the NFL for the next 10 to 15 years while there are a few great "older" QB's that are in their last few seasons. I feel good we have one of the good young QB's that has the talent to lead us to great things.
 
Give me tua

I’d probably take him over every damn qb in the league off what he showed me last week.

it projects that well imo.

give me tua you can have the field
It is difficult to look at 2 games in the NFL and determine he will be the best QB in the NFL going forward. While I am happy that he is the QB of the Dolphins. If I was allowed to pick any QB in the league today to be my QB for the next 10 years, I would take Mahomes and not think twice about it.
‘Hopefully Tua will someday reach the level of play in the NFL that Mahomes has already achieved.

Seems to me there is a significant gap between current 'elite' and the new kids. Brees, Brady, Rodgers, Ben. All of them up there. Not much between them Wilson, Mahommes, . . .

New kids are going to win a lot imo. NFC is a bunch of older guys running the show but look at the AFC, it alone will be a bitch and a half for a decade with Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Allen, Watson and likely Lawrence and Fields. Not everyone will pan out but that’s at the bare minimum a crazy amount of talent; Just coming out of that conference will mean you are a hell of a team

well I did use the term projects

Tua is a super computer out there. He knows he will have to go to his third read but still goes one, two then bam it’s out.

Solely relying on athleticism and being able to ad lib will make you flashy and have great years but long term doesn’t make you as attractive as the guy who is top of the league in mental game, accuracy and has enough wiggle to make defenses loose sleep.

Guys who run or have tons of athleticism I feel like there are game plans for them, but guys like Brees in his prime years or Wilson what do you game plan for? Can’t pressure them; they will beat you so bad and if you do manage to move them off their spot they can throw on the run or just run for what they need. Guys who don’t beat themselves are always king.
