Ages of the QB's still in the playoffs

Crazy as it sounds Big Ben has as many rings as Brees and Rogers combined, plus he went to another SB (lost to Rogers Packers).

Fixed it for you. Brees likely hangs it up after season. 

 

I hope so... He looks like I had hoped Brady would look.

 

Brees has no arm left at this point.

Ben is 38 

Josh is 24

 

That's 14 years difference, so if they have the same longevity, Josh Allen will be playing a home playoff game in 2035. 

 

Ben has also taken a.... relaxed approach to fitness, shall we say. 

 

No reason at all that Allen won't still be playing at Ben's age, which as I mentioned, would be in 2035. 

 

 

 

No!!!  You don't say!!!  If he speant more time working out and less time being a bar predator he would have probably added a few more years to his odometer like Brady and Brees.........yeah old Ben Rapelisberger.....

allen doesn’t strike me as a QB that will play into his late 30’s 

 

I’d say 10-12 years 

 

look at what’s happening to Ben. 

Ben also doesn’t train or lift weights or work out.

 

Jay Glazer, who is never wrong, said Ben’s idea of a great offseason workout program is a yoga session, golf and beer.

 

Allen is going to run less as his career goes on. No reason he couldn’t get there.

There's a big difference of ages of the remaining playoff QB's between the AFC and the NFC.  Baker Mayfield is the oldest AFC QB in the group. He and Mahomes are 25.  Josh and Lamar are both 24, with Lamar just turning 24, the youngest of the group.  On the NFC side, Goff is the youngest at 26, Rodgers next at 37, Brees at 42 and Brady 43.  What a difference.   When Brady was playing his first NFL game, Lamar was 3 and Josh was 4.  I'm wondering if this difference in ages of contending QB's between the 2 leagues is telling something or is it just a coincidence.


Essentially teams built around rookie contracts and then those putting all their chips in at the end of a vets career. And then Rodgers. 
 

the chiefs and rams are just at the cusp of really having to peel back some luxury contracts.

It is a coincidence but experience does matter.

Old Guys 8  Young Guys 1

 

 

Well the old guys have a lot more chances.   I'll bet the young guys still alive in this year's playoff end up with at least 8 combined before they're done

One thing that concerns me - MOST of these good young guns are in the AFC. And there is a good chance that Lawrence & Fields will be joining them there.

 

The QB talent in the NFC is really waning.  Wilson is obviously great, but after him, there is a pretty big drop-off once Rodgers, Brees and Brady retire...
