Non-Mahomes young guns in the NFL

Watson, Allen, Herbert, Burrows, Jackson, Murray, Dak, etc. I still think Darnild will be good, and thr kid with the Giants has been far better than given credit for.

2 years ago the vast majority of this board would have said Allen was a huge bust.

Young guns: Mahomes, Allen, Jackson in that order. Tua, Herbert, Murray, Mayfield and Burrow are in the mix as well. All of them are still on a upward trajectory. I really like Mayfield’s game despite him being a rancid ass Sooner.

Top five QBs in league in order: Mahomes, Wilson, Brady, Rodgers, Allen.
Was Watson an intentional omission? I don't think Jackson is near the passer. I would go Mahomes, Watson, Allen Jackson. You can argue that order outside of Mahomes. Guys with potential... Burrow, Hebert, Murray. Mayfield. No doubt I like Watson a lot and no doubt his team is shit, but was confounded how he didn't make this list.

Fixed

Unintentional omission.

Goff got the early edge going to the Super Bowl so early and is impressive, but Josh Allen keeps standing out every time I catch him on TV. Wentz done, Dak in purgatory, Miller maybe headed for greatness or maybe figured out, Watson a question mark, Taysom Hill (not young but new) has the feeling of Young and end of Montana segue in NO. Mariotta done. Winston on life support. Tua in doubt. Hurts a big question mark but everything I have seen from him over his career tells me he will do all in his power to succeed. Trubisky looking like a Joe, but maybe. Darnald no verdict as he is a jet. Jones is a maybe as well with the Giants.

If I had to bet Allen and Goff are at least Rivers level players if not more. Of the rest Miller, Hill, and Hurts interest me the most.

Soon to be in the mix

Lawrence Fields and Wilson

I get it, but answer this. Who would you rather have on the Cowboys - Prescott or Watson?

Watson on Da Boys = a couple deep playoff runs already.

And I'm a Dak fan. . . .though he seems more about the $$$$$ than the titles, keeping in mind he's 10-11 his last 2 years

I take Dak. I wouldn’t pay either the big contract, though. I am absolutely against paying QBs that much. Cowboys blew it by extending Zeke and will likely blow it again with Dak.

So, maybe my answer is neither.

Agree with all of this. I'd much rather the Cowboys try to package Dak into a deal to trade up in the first round and take one of these rookie QBs than to commit $40+ million a year to one player. It will kill them on the cap for years to come.
