The Next Head on Rushmore

Recommended Posts

Payton Manning and Tom Brady were asked for their top five QBs. Both said four obvious names--Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Burrow--and stopped. Brady refused to go further. Manning equivocated among several players and never made a choice.

Who do you think the next few are--in order--and why?

Some options:
Tua
Dak
Herbert
CJ Stroud
J Love
Purdy 
Stafford
Lawrence

Stroud. Did things as a rookie we’ve rarely ever seen in the history of the NFL. Thats generally a prerequisite for most all time greats.

Stafford is too old. Same with Dak. If they were going to be surefire top 5 options than they would already be that in the eyes of greats. They’re likely searching for something more, the absolute X factor.

Which Stroud appears to have and when you look at Tua, Purdy, and Lawrence… they have not shown that absolute X factor.

So IMO you’re left with Love, Herbert, Stroud, and maybe a Caleb Williams (absolute projection) that could have that potential. Of those options, I choose to go with the guy who had the historic stats, the moments, the poise, and the playoffs success.

Why lie?

 

Regardless, for the purposes of the question:

Argument to be there right now:

Herbert

Stafford

Dak

Purdy

 

Everything we've seen so far says yes, but we need more than one season:

Love

Stroud

 

If they find their consistency, they will be there:

Hurts

Tua

 

Those are the guys who fit into that 5 spot, assuming we mostly all agree on Mahomes Allen Burrow Lamar as the stuck members of the top 5.

Manning never finished with Herbert in his top five.

As you can see, there are other candidates.

He was asked for his top 5, only mentioned 5 QBs in the video, and Herbert wasn't even the final guy he mentioned. Not sure what you're on about.
