3. I'd put Kaepernick and Wilson in the same class as Luck

Jan 2014

They both have had better numbers than him last 2 seasons, especially Wilson. Russell Wilson has probably been the most consistent QB after Peyton Manning the past 2 seasons.

I don't know where to put Foles who is playing at an insane level but it has only been one season. Rivers has had several seasons playing at an elite level he fell off last season but he is back, his numbers are one of the best all-time so I consider him a top QB.

Not even close. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #4

Do you mean total yardage? JonLP24 Jan 2014 #5

Both Yardage and TDs. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #6

With teams such as San Francisco & Seattle JonLP24 Jan 2014 #7

There is no end to the comparisons. The Colts TRIED to run BlueStreak Jan 2014 #8

The point I was making JonLP24 Jan 2014 #9

The rest of the team really does matter BlueStreak Jan 2014 #10

Flacco never averaged over 8 yards per attempt in a season JonLP24 Jan 2014 #11

Seattle was 26th in passing yardage BlueStreak Jan 2014 #12

It certainly does (BTW Wilson was responsible for 539 of those yards) JonLP24 Jan 2014 #13
