Starting Quarterbacks Grouped By Expectations

christian : 7/31/2024 9:12 am
Now that all of the extensions are wrapped up at the position (save maybe Dak), do you guys agree these are the right groupings for quarterbacks? I've made some judgement calls on who will ultimately end up starting, with a bias towards draft picks in most situations.

I see roughly three groups: guys teams believe are the answer, guys who teams believe are a bridge, and guys who are too early to tell.





Daniel Jones is the Bridge to Nowhere

Stafford

Is near bridge territory at 36.
Fair

And even if you say 50% hit rate on the young guys - that's about 1/3 of the league without their QB of their franchise future

I can't imagine the Browns still think Watson is a solution. But they just have no choice.
Mayfield is more likely...

a solution. Guy won another playoff game and had a very underrated year. And he's only 29.

Solution is obviously subjective. My mental definition is something close to "is the team significantly financially committed through the 2025 season and/or is there any reason to be believe that won't."

The Bucs are only committed through 2024. Whereas the Browns and Rams are or will be through 2025.

The only QB that gets interesting with is Carr.

I have to agree. I couldn't stand him at first. But he's grown on me. I like his energy. On a different note I loved his commercials with the Browns.

He's the Tacoma Narrows not the GWB
Watson & Murray - Ouch

Purdy - Such a bargain for the 49ers. Hopefully he’ll be taking up a large part of their cap soon.

For sure. Some teams are going to be left holding a bad contract because of performance or health.

I think the game is so easy for QBs now, it's going to be health moreso.
Lawrence, Herbert, and Murray

Are interesting cases. Very talented guys who have often underwhelmed for a variety of reasons. If I had to predict - Murray and Lawrence never make it as top tier guys, Herbert still has a shot. I think the clock is ticking on all of them.

Not all of the quarterbacks who have been extended early will pan out. The nature of their agreements slows the clock a bit.

Tua can be included in that territory as well, for me. His contract was structured well for the team.
