QBs drafted in the first round in 2018 are currently 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th in QB rating this season. Pretty remarkable.


With Baker and Darnold turning their careers around that could go down as the third best draft for QBs. 
 

‘83 is #1, obviously. Kelly/Marino/Elway

’04 is #2. Big Ben/Eli/Rivers

Might even edge out ‘04.

They are all vastly different styles of QBs, too. I'm glad Darnold and Mayfield are turning things around with better organizations. And being in the NFC with the lower level of QB talent will give them more opportunities.

I am confused as Geno was 2013 draftee - same class as EJ Manuel.  

 

The OP was making an interesting point about 2018 qb's, however when you sort by yards, Geno - yes 2013 - is the leader in passing yards. Maybe that stops confusion.

Where is “Chosen Rosen” ranked?

 

He is - no joke - enrolled at Wharton Biz School. He may actually have the last laugh financially lol.

At this point I’d bet on Rosen being a bust at Wharton too.

Footnote on '04.

 

Bills and Steelers had the same record; Steelers chose before Bills based on strength (weakness) of schedule.

Bills wanted to draft Roethlisberger, but Steelers nabbed him.

 

Bills came away with the Adam Sandler lookalike.

Just mentioned that season in another thread talking about Willis McGahee…

 

Big Ben on that team and we make the playoffs. That season was an absolute cruddy start. A few games that were one score losses to start the season. 
 

Epic run to end the season that unfortunately and, for what you mention, ironically ended in a loss to the Steelers and their backups. 
 

🤦‍♂️

Slightly less effective than The Waterboy.

Darnold & Mayfield's current success will be short lived.  3 years or less from now they'll be backups again.

2020 was pretty good too. Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Love, Hurts.

Rosen is the ultimate legacy. Wharton Biz School was founded by one of his ancestors.

And 2 of the 4 were considered busts. 

 

(And @LABILLBACKER remains unconvinced).
