tomur67 Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 There's a big difference of ages of the remaining playoff QB's between the AFC and the NFC. Baker Mayfield is the oldest AFC QB in the group. He and Mahomes are 25. Josh and Lamar are both 24, with Lamar just turning 24, the youngest of the group. On the NFC side, Goff is the youngest at 26, Rodgers next at 37, Brees at 42 and Brady 43. What a difference. When Brady was playing his first NFL game, Lamar was 3 and Josh was 4. I'm wondering if this difference in ages of contending QB's between the 2 leagues is telling something or is it just a coincidence.
Ya Digg? Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 It shows that more AFC teams are hitting on their QBs. I think Rodgers and Brees are amazing and actually find Brady far less annoying now that he’s not in New England any more, but those 3 shouldn’t be leading their conferences any more. 1 that’s fine, 2 maybe, but not all 3 1
Gregthekeg Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Well considering that Brady was in the AFC last year, I think this is just coincidence. A few years ago it was Manning, Brady, Big Ben in the post-season for AFC and young guns like Russel Wilson and Goff representing the NFC. Not sure it really has to do with any certain Conference.

Albany,n.y. Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 All 4 AFC QBs became starters in 2018. 3 from the class of 2018 & Mahomes from 2017 who was redshirted his rookie year. Looking back, the 2018 QB class was as advertised, just like 2004 and 1983. Each produced 3 franchise QBs. Just like 1983, the 2nd & 4th QBs weren't much and the QB taken near or at the end of the 1st round turned out to have the most early success.
Captain_Quint Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 What's exciting is that we probably have Josh Allen for at least 15 more years 1 1

zow2 Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 It's kind of strange that all the top guys keep going to AFC teams... and same this year with Lawrence and Fields likely going to AFC teams. The NFC has 3 great old vets and a bunch of decent yet middling QB's like Ryan, Stafford and Bridgewater, etc..

Ben is 38 Josh is 24 That's 14 years difference, so if they have the same longevity, Josh Allen will be playing a home playoff game in 2035. Ben has also taken a.... relaxed approach to fitness, shall we say. No reason at all that Allen won't still be playing at Ben's age, which as I mentioned, would be in 2035.
Nextmanup Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 A lot of people have been taking about the QB age differential. If it works out that Allen faces Rodgers, for example, you know all the discussion will be old vs. new and the "changing of the guard" and so on. It's in an interesting dichotomy in that the younger guys clearly have the raw athletic advantage, but the old guys have the experience advantage. The team with the better QB performance on SB Sunday will probably win, and it could be any of these guys, old or young.
Charles Romes Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 I could see Josh becoming as maniacal about diet and fitness as Tony Gonzales. That’s how bad he wants to win. If that happens he could play until 40 or beyond easy.
Fan in Chicago Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 sum of the age of the 3 oldies = 122 Sum of ages of 5 younguns= 124

Super Bowl Wins Old Guys 8 Young Guys 1 Of course experience is a big factor BUT lets look at your "Old Guys" facts. Big Ben won 2 Super Bowls with his last win in 2008. 12 Years ago! Drew Brees won 1 Super Bowl in 2009. 11 Years ago! Aaron Rodgers won 1 Super Bowl in 2010. 10 Years ago! None of the above have won a SB in the last 10 years. That's 30 SBs NOT won by these QBs. Then there is Tom Brady who has won 6 SBs and it's not worth talking about his run. Tom Brady (I hate to say) has the recent experience of winning that is a bigger threat over all the "old guy" QBs. Your point is made but you should "edit" your post and put 10 SB wins versus 8 that you have.
