Comparing current young stud qbs to older ones

Just an interesting topic I thought of. If you were to compare the current up and coming qbs in the nfl to a former or current older qb, who would you say?

 

Cam Newton = John Elway: He has the magic, he can carry bad teams and make good teams great. Huge arm, keeps plays alive with scrambling, and their playing styles are oh so similar.

 

Joe Flacco = Jake Delhomme: Both are above average qbs who had good teams around them to lead to success. They have great moments and at the same time, terrible moments. They rely on a huge arm to in a sense, chuck it and pray, and it embodies them as players.

 

Matthew Stafford = Brett Favre: Both are wild west gunslingers, both can put 5 tds or 5 ints on you on any given sunder. Wild arm, love of the game, and a risk taker.

 

Andrew Luck = Peyton Manning: This has been made since before the draft, and it should last forever.

 

Russel Wilson = Steve Young: Leadership, lives off scrambling ability, does not make mistakes, and makes good teams great, and is very precise.

 

Feel free to add others.

:D

So far, I have seen nothing that makes anyone think of Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck together; except that they both played for Indianapolis; their fathers played in the NFL; have so so arms, and [the fact] Manning had a ton of INT's his rookie year. 

 

Peyton is a surgeon. Luck is a Luddite, in comparison. And I like Andrew Luck.

Ironically Cam is more like Peyton Manning than Luck is. Like Manning, Cam is taking a team that hasn't tasted victory on any level in years to it's pinacle in three years. He was the first to break pretty much all of Manning's record. The media is just molding Luck into Manning's image  because it's easy...But Cam is more like Manning in real team and leadership achievements, than Luck. Luck didn't inherit the same team Manning did in 1989. Cam pretty much did with the Panthers.

 

Also, I wonder if Matthew Stafford has the ego of Brett "DIVA-BOY" Farve?

I never thought Jake had a huge arm and never heard him described that way.

Jake had an arm, dude. (pre surgery, anyway)

I can't remember and can't find it, but I believe he threw a 70-75 yard ball in a quarterback challenge one year.

His TD pass to Moose in the SB looked like a flick of the wrist - he threw it at his own 12 and Moose caught it inside the Pats' 35

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      I feel that I'm Bryce neutral and it's definitely both sides.  Threads absolutely get made when he plays bad (rightfully so) and when he plays good.  He is the most controversial player on our team at the most critical position.  Of course threads are going to be made about him after each performance good or bad. I think it depends on what side of the aisle you are own.  You clearly aren't a fan of his so it appears like you are getting spammed with counter threads when he plays well.  Some of the Bryce fans feel the exact opposite I am sure.  It's sports and as fans our opinions will vary.

      Here's the text from Pelissero's piece... Panthers DC Ejiro Evero, 44: A former college safety at UC Davis who went to training camp with the Raiders, Evero has coached all three phases -- offense, defense and special teams -- and was well-regarded at each stop during his previous 17 NFL seasons, working under everyone from Vic Fangio to Dom Capers. He won a Super Bowl with the Rams and then got his first DC job in 2022 with the Broncos, whose defense was a bright spot in a frustrating season. Same with the Panthers' defense in 2023, before injuries decimated the unit last season. Evero's defense has improved this season (13th in scoring) on a Carolina team in the playoff hunt. He interviewed for eight head coaching jobs in the hiring cycles after the 2022 and 2023 seasons, earning second interviews with the Colts, Falcons, Panthers, Seahawks and Texans, and could be in the mix again. 2026 NFL head coach hiring cycle: 24 young candidates to know if you want another kick in the head, click the link and check out the first two names he mentions.

      Exactly what we should have done last year. Except never sign Dalton to begin with.
