The Great Exodus of Quarterback Talent?

In recent years it has become a glaring issue that the NFL is starting to lack elite players at the quarterback position, and sadly, I spent a lot of time thinking about that. Some say it's college not producing the right style of QB and some say it's the "play it safe" GM's who sign the Brock Osweiler's of the NFL world to huge contracts. Regardless of what you believe, I like to think about what the quarterback landscape might look like after the 2020 season.

It's not far-fetched to assume that most of these following quarterbacks will be retired or considering it by the end of the 2020 season.

 

Tom Brady (44)

Drew Brees (43)

Josh McCown (42)

Eli Manning (41)

Carson Palmer (41)

Phillip Rivers (40)

Ben Roethlisberger (39)

Aaron Rodgers (38)

Alex Smith (37)

Joe Flacco (37)

Matt Ryan (36)
 

Let's play devil's advocate and say ALL of these players have retired. The elite QB's still playing would look something like this.

 

Matt Stafford (34)

Kirk Cousins (33)

Cam Newton (33)

Russell Wilson (33)

Tyrod Taylor (33)

Carson Wentz (29)

Marcus Mariota (28

Jared Goff (27)

 

When you put it on paper it looks like at least 20 teams will be looking for a new franchise QB in the next 4 years, unless you believe in the likes of Case Keenum and Paxton Lynch. How many franchise QB's can the draft produce over the next 4 years? Do we have more drafts like the ones that produced Eli, Ben and Phillip or will we soon see an NFL where only 12 teams have serviceable quarterbacks?

I wanted to keep this short because I'm more interested in hearing what you guys think will happen, instead of what I think will happen.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
