I can have as man6 tiers as I want, there is no more merit in three tiers than four or five.

Trey has the ceiling of an elite player.

Not sure why you want to.be pessimistic about Trey and so defensive of Rodgers here.
This is a time of great hope, the team is so strong.

If you're stating that Rodgers or Wilson is not elite, you need to have your football card revoked.

Like, ASAP.

I think it's more than the media. GMs believe you do need a FQB , otherwise, they wouldn't be trading quality assets for them. Dump Goff bring in Stafford, dump Mayfield bring in Watson . I guess we'll wait and see how many SBs the Pats win with Mac.

Yes the same Stafford that threw a punt to Tartt that could've sealed their fate.

Also, I believe Goff too went to a SB with LAR with a lesser team.

Last time we saw Watson in the playoffs he and HOU blew a bigger lead to KC than Jimmy G and the 9ers.
Stop cherry picking certain plays. You're telling me you'd rather have a Goff, Garoppolo, Cousins etc than Mahomes, Brady or another elite QB to try and reach the SB ?

Mahomes or Brady, no doubt, not sure if there are any other elites right now.

Hopefully Lance joins the list of elites.

Dude you just gonna ignore the MVP based on one game in which it was frozen? Rodgers is elite af. Fan bias makes some of us think one game determines the rule (and the truth is, Rodgers was the best QB on the field that game). I don't get it. The same arguments were made after week 10. Suddenly Stafford is garbage because Jimmy had a career game and Stafford had his worst game of the year. One game is not a large enough sample size to determine if a guy is good or bad in a season.

Also, I think most of us can agree that Josh Allen has taken that step into the elite category. And Wilson, sorry to say it, but he was having a typical top 8 season, as he always does. Herbert, if he's not there yet, is probably going to be soon.

.
.

If you, again, organize these guys by most statistical metrics, you'll see three clear and distinguished tiers. Now, maybe you don't want to call all the tier one guys elite, and that's reasonable, since the slope for the top ten guys is pretty steep, but there's a huge drop off after them.

And I hate to be the bearer of even more pessimism, but the odds of Lance hitting that threshold are surely no better than 50/50.

Dude has one ring. He isn't elite.


This might be it. The most ridiculous thing ever said on this board. Aaron Rodgers is not an elite QB, per woo.

Steve Young only won one ring as a starter too. I guess he wasn't elite... (do we have a facepalm gif? Let me use this one instead: )

I can have as man6 tiers as I want, there is no more merit in three tiers than four or five.
Incorrect, because in several different statistical rankings, the QBs most often fall into three major clusters of production.

Trey has the ceiling of an elite player.

I think Trey does have the ceiling of an elite player. I'm pessimistic about reaching THAT height because very few players, very few talented players even, ever reach that height. I'll be happy with someone better than Jimmy.

As for "being defensive" about Rodgers, it has nothing to do with Rodgers. I'm defensive about observable reality.
On a different note:

Trey Lance is the 3rd QB the 49ers have drafted 3rd overall, who also was the backup his rookie season. (Y.A. Tittle and John Brodie)

If history of a group is an indicator of the future particular members of the group (and generally it isn't so reliable), then Trey has a 50/50 chance of being a Hall of Famer.

Now that's a reaching for the stars kind of a comparison but optimism never hurts. 😊

Lol trash

Who is that. Nasty

Yea not gonna lie thats pretty wack. Good work by the artist but not a fan of the concept.

Meh, as long as he doesn't Tebow it up with a prayer for every TD, it doesn't really bother me.

Not saying it bothers me at all. I couldn't care less if he got dicks tatted all over his back. It's his body and he can do as he pleases. Just saying I'm really not feeling that design. Like I'd probably clown my boy if he got that.

It is curious this comes across the internet just ahead of the most important weekend of all for Christians around the world.

Trey Lance has made no secret of his faith. In fact, he has frequently expressed it in terms of his God-given abilities and how he sees football as a way to express his gratitude in public. For a fan base that hopes he is the savior of the franchise, now we see him express his hope in his personal savior. Let's allow him to freedom to do that as he works to fulfill our hopes on the football field.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of tattoos, however, this one draws on a scene in C. S. Lewis's famous book "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." It is well-executed.

The bold is why he'd get ripped on if he wasn't such a boss. But I mean, C.S. Lewis got it from the Bible anyway (Lion of the Tribe of Judah), so it isn't necessarily from an allegory written for children. As a painting, I'd think it was dope af. Not sure as a tattoo, but whatever, people put art on their body things they feel embody them as a person.

I just hope he doesn't ever leave his faith, because then it'd just be awkward.

Also, kudos for pointing out the timing. I find it hard to believe it was a coincidence.

I would agree it might be more than a coincidence. However, given the amount of time it took to create it, he might have started right after the season and it is just recently finished. So, he chooses this time to reveal it. All good.

As you say, the origin of the Lion of Judah image is biblical. I just thought more might be familiar with the Lewis book/movie.

Not as elite as Brady or Mahomes so not elite IMO.

Great QBs of this generation, no doubt.

What scale are you using to grade these QBs? Mahomes only has 1 ring.

Trey means 3, he will also be the 3rd Niner QB to win a SB

Aaron Rodgers isin't/hasn't been elite? Uhhhh,....ok.
Elite = Level of Play. Right? Not team accomplishments.

So how do you then measure someone's level of play by a team's accomplishment?

Different QB thread,...but Woo once again falling down the same exact rabbit hole.

I fail to see how Wilson isn't elite. 9 Pro Bowl selections. Career 6.2 TD% to a mere 1.8 INT%. Five 30+ TD seasons, four of which came with over 4000 yards passing. Routinely generates MVP discussion for segments of the season. The best deep ball in the NFL. Five seasons with over 500 yards rushing. Steals victory from the jaws of defeat against us on a regular basis. Fourth highest passer rating of all time. Been in the top ten in Total QBR all but two seasons in his career. Tied with Drew Brees and Y.A. Tittle on the 4th quarter comeback ranking.

Had he played all 17 games his TD/INT stats extrapolate to 31 TDs, 8 INTs.

I can't imagine that not being elite, as in, around the top 7 or 8 QBs (after this group, most statistical measures plummet, until the next plateau is reached).
