Have some help around you.

This is Gregg Rosenthal's comment regarding Andrew Luck in his QB Index:

"But recognition as a true top-tier quarterback will arrive this year because he's getting more support."

This is not an Andrew Luck thread. Luck is a really good QB. Pretend this isn't about him, but about Quarterbacks in general.

I can't shake the fact I am seeing/hearing comments like this. Can you not be considered a top-tier QB without being surrounded by weapons? If you need weapons to be top-tier......wouldn't that suggest you were not top-tier??? So the question I am asking is:

What do you believe should qualify you as a top-tier QB?

Wins and Sb's

That's all ppl remember

And that's why people are stupid. There is no "requirement" for it, you just gotta watch them play and you can tell who's elite and who's not. Pin-point accuracy, pocket awareness, perfect decision making, touch on the ball, deep ball ability, etc. The QBs that can take over a game and not make huge mistakes are elite and there's only 4 of them right now. Rivers and Romo are close but not quite there. I'd have those two in the 2nd tier by themselves right now then after that Ben, Eli, Wilson, Cam, Luck, etc in no order.

production. move the ball and get the ball into the endzone. do your part. the bigger the part you play, the better you are. that's essentially it for me. everything else is just noise.

and QBs don't win or lose games. they may have big plays that help one way or the other, but a game isn't won on one or two big plays. it's a team effort that takes three phases and about 32 other players to pull off. all you can do is do your part and hope that the other contributors do their part or at least don't screw up bad enough to keep you from winning.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By carolinanimal · Posted

      i think the difference is that we win when we minimize Bryce as part of the offense ala Trent dilfer. look at the games we win and he us always under 200 yards passing.

      Which is also why we talk about there being a lower ceiling for Bryce I think Bryce sees the game decently well already given the mess this offence has been for the better part of his career. His big WTF plays are typically him just dropping the damn ball Which leaves me wondering sometimes what does peak Bryce look like. Guys like Sam you’d watch in NY/Carolina and he’d have so many boneheaded plays that you were left thinking if he could just clean these up you’d have a solid QB. And now we’re finally seeing Sam in a good offence and he’s able to play with timing and within structure and those boneheaded plays are cut down to 2-3 times a game Bryce doesn’t have a ton of boneheaded plays (minus flat out dropping the ball) so I dunno. I think Bryce can be a solid QB. Put Bryce in Seattle or Tampa and they’re still winning a lot of games  Coaching and overall team matters so much. The only dude that I think could probably do the most with the least in this league would be Lamar

      They both struggle with that but Lawrence is a significantly better athlete and an INSANELY more physically gifted passer. He has very limited reasons to be struggling the way he has. I will say, when he came into the league I specifically remember an interview that he basically intimated that he would be okay if his life didn't involve football and I have always questioned if he was passionate enough to be elite from that moment onward.
