Luck's sample size is smaller, has 12K less yards, and 30 less TDs. Also played small in the playoffs. 4-4 record, 12-13 TD-INT ratio and a QB rating of 74. Obviously I'm putting more emphasis on playoff performance than others. But if the goal is to win a championship shouldn't performance in big moments count a bit more than throwing for 300 yards in a losing effort in a regular season game ? Expand Luck to me is tricky but appeared to be on his way to greatness despite the injuries. I guess that I look at it as if I was starting a franchise, knowing what we know now, in what order would I draft the QBs? To me, Flacco was clutch when he got to the playoffs but was rarely, if ever, the reason that his team got there. I did go back and forth on those 2 (in part because of career length) but I just think Luck was a better player.
Dan Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 You can't put a guy that has had 1 stellar season, as someone that has dominated ...in this century. It's ridiculously short sighted and the very definition of putting the cart before the horse.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 On 9/14/2019 at 11:09 AM, GunnerBill said: Deshaun Watson. Mahomes is ahead of the pack but in terms of judging what guys have done on the field Watson is way ahead of 3rd place among the young guys. Again there is a question about him protecting himself and making sure his career is a long one - as there is for Allen actually - but Watson's level of performance since he has been in the league has been incredible. The way Mahomes has played as kind of overshadowed it but Watson's performance has been outstanding. Expand Yes, I thought about Watson too. Maybe I underestimate him, but I just don't see Houston as a perennial contender. I'm being a homer for the Bills of course. It's all hope there. I think Watson ends up like Palmer. A good QB on a so-so team that cracks the playoffs once or twice during his career.

I am not sure Houston is a perennial championship contender under its current leadership. But they will be in and around the playoffs every year while Deshaun is their QB. Even as a rookie we saw how he elevated a so-so team - Watson started 6 times as a rookie and went 3-3. In the remaining 10 games the Texans went 1-9. Edited September 14, 2019 by GunnerBill
GunnerBill Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 On 9/14/2019 at 5:38 PM, PlayoffsPlease said: The scariest part is both are ultimately disappointing. I think sustained success means you may need to have a QB in that ultra-upper echelon, Rivers/Flacco level ultimately falls short. Among the young QBs i think Mahomes will be one of those guys. I also think Josh Allen will be. Don't see the potential in any of the other young AFC QBs (not even Watson) Expand Watson will be. 100%.
