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. 2 1 Quote
HansLanda Posted October 21 Posted October 21 That is eye opening view. Don't look now, but Geno leads the league in passing yards. 1 Quote

MJS Posted October 22 Posted October 22 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. 2 Quote

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. 4 minutes ago, BringBackFergy said: Where is “Chosen Rosen” ranked? He is - no joke - enrolled at Wharton Biz School. He may actually have the last laugh financially lol.

The 9 Isles Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Yes Geno drafted 39th overall by the Jets well after the Bills took EJ Manual with the 16th pick. 1 Quote
MJS Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Josh Allen is #1 in QBR! Not that I like that stat very much anyway... Quote
BearNorth Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Also don't look now, but the league leader in QBR 79.3 is a guy who wears #17 for our lads. 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. 🤦♂️ Quote

Pretty remarkable. And 2 of the 4 were considered busts. (And @LABILLBACKER remains unconvinced). Quote
