Big Turk Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) All of the good young QBs are in the AFC...and that will include Lawrence to either the Jags or Jets. NFC only has Murray and maybe Dak. Sure they have Wilson and Rodgers and Brees and Brady but they aren't getting any younger and will be falling off sooner rather than later. AFC has Allen, Jackson, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Mayfield, Tagovailoa, Lawrence(next year)... This could lead to a very unbalanced run of Super Bowl wins for the AFC over the next 10 to 15 years...how does the NFC change that?

TBBills Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Murray isnt even that good. The NFC needs to draft a good QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Depends on how you look at it. I don't think Tua has been that impressive, and Burrow was 2-8 as a starter before going down. The NFC has Dak, Russell Wilson, and Jared Goff who are all top ten QBs in the league. Rodgers probably has another three years in him if Green Bay keeps him around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold the phone on Goff, he just lost to the worst team in Football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is reliant on McVay's system and if he has to carry the team and they can't run it they do things like lose to the Jets. And that isn't the first time we have seen performances like that when they can't run the ball. Burrow was on a bad team and was killing it. That dude is going to bring the Bengals back to competitive in that division sooner rather than later. I like their chances much better than Pittsburgh's over the next 5 years. Goff is like Mayfield and Tannehill in that regard. He can't carry the team. Edited December 22, 2020 by matter2003 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I dunno... the NFC has bona-fide stars like Dwayne Haskins and his post defeat celebrations at strip clubs mid pandemic... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bengals can build the team around him then they will be very good in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the tools to be good, but crumbles ALL the time. Watching him is pretty frustrating. I know a lot of Rams fans don't have much faith in him.

Real McClappy Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 To bad the Bills aren't in the NFC at this phase lol. Getting to a SB from the AFC side is going to be extremely tough with this kind of QB talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Is Justin Fields no longer considered a top prospect? I thought he was being mentioned in the same conversation with Lawrence only a month or so ago. Why isn't he a solid consolation prize for the Jets? And anyway, how often does it turn out that the first QB taken in the draft turns out to be the best pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still probably top 5 but some are saying it's no longer a lock he goes #2 like everyone expected before. But if they do go 1-2 it's going to be Jags/Jets which means another one in the AFC not NFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not watched much college football this year, and of course OSU has only played a handful of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I agree with the OP that the AFC is setting up as the dominant conference. An interesting consequence of this is that AFC teams will have the toughest schedules, so the worst records in football are likely to come from the AFC as well. This year’s Jets and Jaguars are a perfect example of this. If this trend continues, then the first overall picks will stay in the AFC until some balance is restored.

I'm not not sure how he will handle adversity and injury issues are still a concern. I am impressed by Burrow but they are going to need to protect him going forward. Herbert looks like the real deal too. On the NFC QBs you mention I think Russ is the best bet. I think Dak may be moving on from Dallas, I think it's gotten personal at this point and he'll get paid wherever he goes. Goff has serious flaws and there is a growing amount of film on him.

Magox Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Things can and usually do change in a flash. With that said, the AFC definitely is at an advantage over the NFC and I would say it's more likely than not that they will bring in more Superbowls than the NFC over the next decade.

I hate to say it but I see a Daboll coached Herbert being a nasty combination in the future. If he leaves, which I'm assuming would be for the title and not the money (Terry will offer Dabes head coach money to stay I would think) I can't imagine the guy would go anywhere else considering the Chargers basically have the right players in place already to win 10 games. The other HC vacancies are train wrecks, and Herbert is a freak passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure out improbable and crazy ways to lose every week...must be so frustrating to be a fan. I still remember when they had the #1 offense and #1 defense in the same year and went 9-7 and missed the playoffs. How is that possible?? That was after Schottenheimer went 14-2 the year before and got fired for losing in the playoffs again.

SEA, GB, ZmIN, DET, ATL, TB, and NO have vets. A QB can be drafted. the idea of a de add is utter BS.... you forget...teams judge QBs by team success. If you are behind a well established team like NE you might change the QBs when that wasn’t the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
