Stauback and Plunkett are the only ones I recall... Hornung played QB in college, but didn't play QB for the Pack in SBI.

Correct again. Staubach and Plunkett.

Third QB question:

At what average age do franchise QBs (defined as QBs who have started at least 10 years) begin to decline in performance?

That's a really subjective question. How does one define decline in performance? I'm going to guess 35. I would rather say 34, but Wyld took it

There was a study done on this particular question in 2011.

The study found that the average age at which franchise QBs begin their performance decline is .....................29.

I know, it is shocking, isn't it?

Gah........

BTW: Good Job on this thread. We need some more creative distractions from what has become the norm.smiley_2_thumbs_up.gif

29? Wow, I have always heard that most Men (not just athletes all men) reach their prime around 28 and it follows through to 33. Though it is subjective of course...

Yea, subjective to whether or not you get slammed into thousands of times by 6'6 300 pound monsters that run a 4.5/40.... :huthut:

      Taking Taylor off the field

      Not trying to over simplify but it is pretty simple. SS calls plays that he believes will work against a certain defense and he has confidence his players will execute that play. The results right now are that his players are NOT capable of executing those plays on a consistent basis enough to win games. The only question moving forward is, do we have good enough players to start to execute more consistently or not and is SS making it as easy as possible for players to be consistent. It's not just a talent thing. It's a attitude and smart thing and then the level of talent. Most of the time, the best players are the smartest players with the right attitude. How talented they are is a bonus. My point, i question our teams attitude and football intelligence as much as I question their talent. Ex.....Stopping the run is as much attitude as it is talent. A big part of why JT is JT, is because of his intellegence.

      Thanks for the updates.  I made my "first pass" projected picks based on where the players are ranked on tankathon right now.  Obviously, subject to change!

      Too Soon to Panic

      The biggest problem is that the rest of the team is playing like trash around the rookie QB.    Of course the essentially rookie QB that has played 6 NFL games is going to be a rollercoaster.  He's known to have accuracy issues, and is for some reason being forced to be a pocket passer.    When the highest paid O-line in the league can't block, that's problem.  When the WR's can't catch passes that bounce off their hands, that's a problem.  When the highly invested in $$ D-Line (like 5 1st or 2nd rd players) can't block and LB's get consistenly washed, that's a problem.  When the highest paid kicker in the league can't kick and gets hurt constantly, that's a problem.  When the defensive scheme is to "bend not break" but the bends are to the tune of 100 yards a series, that's a problem.   Now's the time to strike in other areas while you have a QB on a rookie contract. Actually, this all should've been figured out already by the GM and all positions should've been rock solid by now.
