I don't see Ben being Top 5 All-Time anything in a world where he played simultaneously or nearly so with Brady, Rodgers, Peyton, and Farve before we even get to the older All-Time greats like Marino, Elway, or Montana.

That field is pretty loving crowded for a Top 5.

Ben and Rivers both have a chance to get to top 5 in the big counting stats

There's not a ton of draft news right now which is the problem when the draft thread is made too early, I've found.

Soon there will be arguments on whether or not you should spend a first round pick on a RB, or a flood of playoff posters whose team just lost asking who they can pick with the 26th pick to suddenly turn their team into a full on contender.

The answer to the latter is s Clemson defensive lineman

I haven't been following it at all yet... all I've heard is the QB and OT prospects are pretty weak. What areas are looking strong at the top end and/or super deep? Seems good for pass rushers which is cool.


This assumes young kids continue to play football at traditional rates. Which I don't think you can take for granted as evidence mounts about how badly it destroys your life. But that's going to take a while to materialize (if it ever does). There's plenty of talent in the pipeline for the foreseeable future.

Defensive line talent is through the roof

Sproles is built like a tank. So are Russell Wilson and Maurice Jones-Drew. It's being slender that is the risk. Then again, Eli isn't particularly beefy and he had the consecutive start streak. So who knows?: shrug:

A lot of it is luck. Guys like Eli and Rivers and Peyton and Brady know when a play is dead and just collapse so they don't get killed by the sack.

Who is the NFL's best deep pass option that doesn't already have Tyreek Hill while needing someone to fight for jumpballs in the endzone? Brees? Rodgers?

The guy can't separate but if he's got speed and a vertical he could be a WR3 or something. Comedy option a TE.

My favorite thing to do is watch film and discern talent. I mean I've spent over a decade doing draft analysis on this forum alone as a hobby. It bothers me how much Eli gets poo poo on due to bad narratives and how much Rivers gets praised despite his deficiencies. I don't claim that Eli is a generational QB or an all timer, but he's definitely better than Rivers. Both QBs are a full tier down below the truly great QBs like Brady, Brees, Peyton, and Rodgers. Ben may be better than both of them.

But nope, I'm a Giants homer apparently.

You aren't very good at discerning talent when your only arguments are an 11 game sample size versus a 200+ game body of work, Rivers' throwing motion that leads to a higher completion percentage than Eli, and ringz

He also plays in the NFC East, where the barrier to entry is "we have a team that doesn't hate each other" and not the AFC West where the barrier to entry is 11-5 or higher.

Also being in the AFC which is full of Brady, Ben, and Peyton. The (better) QBs responsible for all of Rivers' playoff losses except for one.

Must be nice to be in the NFC where you can lose to Jake Delhomme and Donovan McNabb

im not going to look this up but i guarantee since both came into the league the nfce has been a harder division.

obviously you had the late state dementia raiders years, but there were several seasons where the chiefs and chargers were just god awful.

The AFC West since Rivers was drafted always had a dominant team (Early on the Chargers, then Denver during Peyton, currently KC, lol Raiders) but usually the other three teams were middling at best. Last year was the first season in a long time two really strong teams came out of the AFC West
