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

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
