Its frightening. Right now there are about 10 franchise QBs out there most of which are well into their 30's.
They way I see it there are really only two young guys in Luck and I guess you can argue Wilson.
Outside of these guys everyone else could realistically be 1-2 season away from being done.
Brady - 38 at start of season
Manning - 39
Bree's - 36
Romo - soon to be 35 but has had some bad injuries
Roethlisberger - 33
Rivers - 33
Eli - 34
Rodgers - 31 but I don't think he plays long because of injuries
These guys may have 3-4 years left depending on health
Luck is 25 and Wilson is 26. They are the only true "young" guys out there.
Of course you have Ryan and Flacco at 30 who have several years left along with a 27 year old Stafford but I'm not sure where these guys really fall on the list.
To some up I guess I'm trying to say its getting harder and harder to find these guys. They are a dying bread.
Does this make it better or worse for the league going forward? You could argue with less franchise guys it makes the league more balanced and competitive. More teams will have opportunity to win and true "teams" will win and not just the ones with the best QBs.
