    Let's face it. Who else is going to be duking it out for single season passing records??
    From the looks of it, nobody that is currently around.
    There will always be "great" QBs.. but QBs who simply dominate the game for over a decade.. I don't see anybody else around.

    Warner was very good. But not for the extended period of these guys. He kinda stunk with the Giants.

    Brees in any other era would be seen as tops.. not in this era. He is a great QB, but he is on the way out as well.

    If somebody thinks that Rodgers will be seen as great as either Manning or Brady in a decade.. more power to them. I don't think it's going to happen.

    I'm just saying.. In 5 years, there will still be star QBs.. but I don't think they will be nearly the same level. They can change and bend rules.. but you can't rule the kind of accuracy that these top guys have.

    We were on the bad side of this, but I think football fans in general will miss this past decade of football.

    Me, personally, if the Titans stop sucking, I'll be perfectly fine with the past decade being over.

    Somebody please enlighten me to who they believe these next Manning/Brady types, or at least comparable, will be.

    RGIII?
    Newton?
    Kaepernick?
    Wilson?
    Luck?
    Dalton?
    Ryan?
    Foles?
    Cutler (also on his way out)
    Johnny Football???
    ???

    IMO, these running QBs are not going to last a long time. They lose their speed and get injured. Pure pocket passers, not too many good young ones to be found, unless this rookie class really ends up surprising.

    Again, Brady was a nobody. Find me anyone that thought he would become an elite QB before he ever started for the Pats.


    Why not a guy like Osweiler or Garropolo or even Mett?

    I'm just saying, you never know who may come out of nowhere and be elite like Brady was.

    Guys like Brady coming out of nowhere is extremely rare. Vast majority of starters come from round 1-3.If you even get a long term backup at 4-7, you've done well.

    It will be sickening if the Patriots got the next great QB in JG.

    I don't think Mett is going to be the next "Brady". But who knows, this league is very unpredictable.

    Best case for Mettenberger; Titans dont extend Locker after 2014, Mett wins the QB job in camp next year, starts 4-5 weeks, has the team winning, goes out to celebrate with Lewan, both get brought up on rape chargers.

    So it really is in everyones best interest that Locker comes back strong this week and stays playing well.

    I personally believe the league is trying its damnedest to make sure Luck is next in line.

    Also, no matter what any of these young QBs go on to do, they will always live in the shadows of Brady/Manning. It is just one of those things.

    Or Locker fails and we trade up for Jamies Winston who has now matured and leads us to multiple Superbowl wins; then he retires after 15 great seasons in the NFL and opens up his own line of seafood restaurants in Nashville.

    I'm sure when Montana and Mariano were wrapping up their careers people were saying the same thing.
