Young Guns: Bradford, Stafford, Sanchez, Freeman, Flacco, Ryan

Wow this thread has been around forever.

Wouldn't the "young guns" consist of guys taken from 2010-2012 now?

Obviously you have guys like Luck, RG3, Wilson, Kaepernick, and Newton. Then you have the lesser known guys like Tannehill, Bradford, Ponder, Locker, Gabbert, Foles, and Dalton. Even Weeden would technically count as a "young gun" in terms of experience, not age.

Thats 13 starting QB's from the last 3 drafts alone. Although i think guys like Weeden, Gabbert, and Foles probably won't start next year. Maybe Locker too.

Maybe we should be evaluating and ranking these guys now. Its pretty easy for most other guys. Flacco and Ryan are good, solid QB's, probably in the top 10 but not top 5. 2009, Sanchez is a bust. Freeman doesn't look anything more than an average guy with flashes. Stafford is an above average QB stats aside, not top 10 but i probably wouldn't rank him below 15 either.

I started a thread for that awhile ago.
