It still blows my mind that we're including Mahomes in the top-QB discussion. I mean, when you see him play, it's completely warranted. But when you consider the muted fanfare when he came out of college and the fact that most pundits thought KC was nuts for trading up to get him, it still stuns me that he's up in that stratosphere now.
But looking at that list, have we finally reached the black QB tipping point? Peyton's gone, Brady, Rivers, Rodgers, Ryan, and Ben will be gone soon enough. Yet the young guns are largely AA: Mahomes, Wilson, Jackson, Prescott, Murray, Watson, Brissett.
With Luck gone, there are no young whitey QBs lighting things up. Carr, Goff, Cousins, and Wentz are good but barely above average... Jimmy G and Mayfield are still question marks. While every position in the league has been predominantly AA for year, QB was the one holdout position. I suspect that will no longer be the case in five years. I'm not making a value judgement here, just observing what appears to be a glacial but inevitable change.
