Who will be the top 5 QBs 5 years from now?

Really? Luck? Before he's even taken an NFL snap he's TOP FIVE, five years from now?

Luck is going to be a great QB. Manning was already in this range (maybe a little lower) 5 years into his career. Dan Marino certainly was the best QB from 1984-1989.

It's not as crazy as you think.

Passing stats shouldn't make you the best. That being said, Rivers and Schaub will continue to put up huge numbers and produce losses in the postseason, when they get to the postseason.

Schaub can not be considered one of the best when he has the best WR in football and they have never, ever, been higher than 9-7. And that was once. So only one time in his career has his team been above 500. And after that season they went 6-10.

He has the worlds best, most consistent WR in the league and had the NFLs leading rusher last season. You can say what you want about his team having a bad defense but the truth is there are QBs out there with teams in the past that had no defense, and less to work with on offense, and they still won. The guy isn't a winner.

Rodgers

Rivers

Stafford (maybe if he stays healthy)

Bradford

Either a current rookie or Luck will develop into a top 5 QB

Maybe Matt Ryan, he could replace stafford on my list.

Schaub puts up good numbers but isn't a winner yet and he is already getting their in age.

I like Josh Freeman but don't ever see him becoming and "elite" qb.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
