The Playoffs and the QB's

[Coach]

The way the NFL works, you mainly need a top 15 QB to make the playoffs. There are exceptions, usually when a team has an excellent defense around him or wins a lousy division with a 9-7 to 8-8 type of record.

But to advance in the playoffs is a different story. Average Qb's tend to exit quickly.

There are four base types of teams:

1 ) Teams with QB's good enough to advance to the AFC or NFC championship game.

2 ) Teams with Young QB's ( less than three years as a starter ) who have reason to believe their QB can move them up into group one.

3 ) Teams with Terrible QB's who usually draft high. You can say about 10 teams are in this area.

4 ) Teams with Veteran QB's who are too good to let go, but far from what they need.

IMO group #4 is the worst for hope. Their veteran QB eats up a lot of cap space, and they usually are not in a position to draft the first 2-3 QB's selected. Their best hope is to get lucky in the draft, as very few free agent QB's that are plausibly better than what they already have.

I see the Ravens as a #4 their team by using your criteria. Who or what teams would you break into each catagory using your criteria????

Unfortunately Bad qb's win superbowls.
Peyton mannings last superbowl, Russell Wilson, Even Colin Kaepernick was close.

So you’re saying Peyton Manning & Russell Wilson are bad quarterbacks?

That SB win with Denver that Payton played and won in.............**** yes Payton sucked as a QB a lot of that season, they won it inspite of him.

PS. Maybe it would be better for me to say......."he didn't play up to Payton's standard "

Peyton was really bad when he won. Cant remember Wilson, but he is in the MVP running this year. If you really want to go that route then Ben had the lowest QB rating to win a SB.

I don't see a catagory that Dilfer would fit into.......??

Russell Wilson is very good. A top 12 Qb in my opinion.

Peyton Manning going to the hall of fame.
