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. 

 

I'd say 2018 is still way behind '04.

 

2 of the 3 from '04 won multiple Super Bowls. The 2018 class needs a champion before it can get in that conversation, and hopefully it's our guy!

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

 

You may be right about Darnold but Mayfield has always been at least a decent starter.  He was Rookie of the Year in 2018, and he played pretty well in Cleveland, including 2021 when he played hurt most of the season.  The Browns kicked him to the curb in order to get Watson.  He spent part of 2022 in Carolina and the rest with the Rams (replacing Stafford who was injured).  In Tampa, he's shown again that he's a really good QB.

You mean what some thought was "the right Josh" lol....  I remember hearing and with the 7th overall pick in the 2018 draft the Buffalo Bills select Josh.... and the world stopped for that micro second as I prayed please dont say Rosen please dont say Rosen..... Allen... and a big exhale...

Mayfield, Darnold, Geno Smith....

 

Maybe there's still some hope for EJ Manuel.

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

 

keyword is "currently".  Doubt that continues thru the end of the season. DC's get smarter with more gametape

Whereas a lot of fans had the exact opposite experience to you in those few seconds.

They are rated that high because "Wrong" Josh is the sinkhole.  The good news he has 7 jerseys to hang on his wall.

We would need at least 3 HOFers from the 2018 class…So far, only Josh and Lamar are on pace…

Spot on. That edge out is hopeful for Josh lol

 

there will be the stats and accolades between Lamar & Josh, not sure about the rings. Those other classes have it all.

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

You're kidding, right?  In his whole career Rosen won't make a fraction of what a first-tier QB makes in a single season.

Thank goodness Andrew Luck didn’t hang it up the year prior otherwise I don’t think we get Josh, either Josh lol

Oh yeah no doubt about it. We also got super lucky the Broncos didn’t go QB  at 5 that year since they were also in the market. I had heard the Browns were thinking about taking Allen 1st overall. Man imagine how different history would have been if one of those events had happened?
