Bob's Quality Quarterbacks

Okay okay okay... let’s talk about Jayden freakin’ Daniels, because this dude is electric. Like, plug-him-into-the-grid electric. If you watched even one LSU game last season, you know what I’m talking about. Dude was putting on a show every week—juking defenders, dropping dimes, and making it all look way too easy. Transferred from Arizona State to LSU and just leveled up. In 2023? Man went nuclear. Threw for over 3,800 yards, 40 TDs, and ran for over 1,100 with 10 more on the ground. That’s videogame numbers. And not even on rookie mode. Like, this was legit Heisman-winning stuff. He basically turned every play into a highlight reel. Blink and you missed a 60-yard bomb or a defender falling over trying to tackle him. And it’s not just the stats. The poise, the vision, the speed—he just gets it. You can tell he’s been grinding and growing every season. LSU gave him the stage, and he lit it up like Times Square on New Year’s. Super calm in the pocket, but when it breaks down? Bye. Go...

Let’s take a trip back to the 1990s and talk about Troy Aikman. This guy was the heart of the Dallas Cowboys’ dominance during that decade. Aikman led the Cowboys to three Super Bowl victories in 1992, 1993, and 1995, and his play was a huge part of their success. He was known for his precise passing and ability to perform in clutch moments, making him one of the top quarterbacks of his era. Aikman’s play style was all about accuracy and leadership. He had a strong arm and was really good at reading defenses. His performance in the 1993 season was impressive—he threw for over 3,700 yards and 11 touchdowns, guiding the Cowboys to another championship. He wasn’t the flashiest quarterback, but his consistency and ability to manage games were top-notch. Of course, no player is without flaws. Aikman had some criticisms about his occasional struggles with turnovers and how he handled pressure in some high-stakes games. But overall, Troy Aikman’s impact on the game and his role in the Cowbo...

Welcome back! let’s talk Jalen Hurts for a minute. I was just catching up with my friend Jake about Hurts, and we were both pretty hyped about what this guy’s been doing. Hurts has been lighting it up with the Philadelphia Eagles since he took over as the starter, and it’s been a real treat to watch. His 2022 season was impressive, with over 3,700 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, and 760 rushing yards. The dude’s got this great blend of arm strength and athleticism that makes him a real dual threat. Hurts’ play style is all about that versatility. He’s got the ability to beat defenses both through the air and on the ground. His mobility is off the charts, and he’s not afraid to take off and make plays with his legs. That game against the Green Bay Packers where he rushed for 157 yards and threw 2 touchdowns was just crazy! The guy’s got this knack for making plays when his team really needs them. He’s still working on some aspects of his game, like improving his passing accuracy and rea...

Alright, let’s take a trip down memory lane with Joe Namath, because this guy was larger than life. Known for his charisma and bold personality, Namath was the ultimate playboy quarterback of the 1960s. He led the New York Jets to their first Super Bowl victory in 1969, which was a huge deal. Namath’s guaranteed win before the game even started became the stuff of legends, and he totally delivered, throwing for 206 yards and 1 touchdown in that game. His style was flashy, and he played with a kind of swagger that made him a real star on and off the field. Namath’s play style was pretty unique. He had a strong arm and wasn’t afraid to take risks, which made him a big-play quarterback. His passing game wasn’t always the most consistent, and his career stats—while impressive—show some ups and downs. But the dude had a way of making plays when it mattered and was known for his ability to perform in clutch situations. His 1968 season was particularly memorable; he threw for over 4,000 yard...

Hot take alert!! I know a lot of folks don’t give Derek Carr the credit he deserves, but let me tell you, this guy’s a gem. Carr might not always be in the MVP conversations, but his consistency and skill are something to admire. Since entering the league with the Oakland Raiders in 2014, Carr has quietly been putting up solid numbers year after year. His accuracy is impressive, and he’s got a quick release that helps him navigate the pocket with poise. The 2020 season, for instance, saw him throw for over 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns—pretty darn good for someone who doesn’t always get the spotlight. Sure, some critics argue that Carr is just a “good, not great” quarterback and that he hasn’t had that breakout moment or deep playoff run. They might point out that he’s had a few up-and-down seasons and hasn’t quite been able to elevate his team in the playoffs. But in my eyes, Carr’s reliability and his ability to perform under pressure are worth celebrating. He consistently delivers...

Let’s give some love to Kyler Murray—this guy is a game-changer. Since joining the NFL in 2019, Murray has been electrifying to watch. His unique combination of blazing speed and a strong arm makes him one of the most exciting quarterbacks in the league. In his rookie season with the Arizona Cardinals, he showed right away that he was going to be a force to reckon with, and he hasn’t slowed down since. His 2021 season was a standout, with over 3,700 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 423 rushing yards. The way he can scramble, extend plays, and make those pinpoint throws is something special. Murray’s play style is all about dynamic playmaking. He’s got the quick feet to evade pressure and the accuracy to make deep throws that few can match. His ability to make something out of nothing and keep defenses on their toes is a huge asset. Remember that incredible 2020 game-winning Hail Mary pass to DeAndre Hopkins? That play alone showed just how much of a difference-maker Murray can be. O...

Alright, let’s dive into the greatness of Johnny Unitas, a quarterback who’s practically a legend in the history books. Unitas played during the 1950s and 1960s, and he set the bar for what a field general could be. Known for his incredible arm and leadership, Unitas is often credited with revolutionizing the quarterback position. His iconic time with the Baltimore Colts was filled with memorable moments and jaw-dropping performances. One of the highlights of his career was leading the Colts to victory in the 1958 NFL Championship, a game famously known as “The Greatest Game Ever Played.” Unitas threw for over 300 yards and led a game-winning drive that became legendary in football lore. Unitas’s style was all about precision and command. He had this knack for reading defenses and making the right play under pressure, and his ability to lead his team down the field in clutch situations was remarkable. His career stats, with over 40,000 passing yards and 290 touchdowns, might not seem ...

I’ve gotta shout out Justin Herbert because this guy is something special. Even though he’s still relatively new to the NFL, Herbert’s already showing he’s got what it takes to be a top-tier quarterback. Since stepping in as a rookie for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2020, he’s been nothing short of impressive. Herbert’s arm strength is absolutely phenomenal, and his accuracy is off the charts. His 2021 season was a real eye-opener—over 5,000 passing yards and 38 touchdowns. The way he can throw those deep balls and make pinpoint passes is just amazing. Herbert’s play style is a breath of fresh air. He combines that big arm with great mobility, making him a dual-threat who can escape pressure and still make big throws downfield. His composure in the pocket and his ability to stay cool under pressure are also standout qualities. He’s had some truly memorable moments already, like his game-winning drives and those incredible throws that just leave you speechless. Sure, he’s still young a...

Brett Favre is one of those quarterbacks who just made you love football, you know? The guy was a total legend with the Green Bay Packers and, let’s be real, everywhere he went after that. He played with this crazy energy and toughness that made you think he’d play through anything. Favre was known for his cannon of an arm and his habit of throwing it deep into tight spots—sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn’t, but it was always entertaining. With three MVP awards and a Super Bowl win in 1997, he proved he could back up all the hype. He also set the record for the most passing yards at over 71,000, which was just insane. Favre’s play style was all about taking risks and making those jaw-dropping throws. Remember the “Hail Mary” against the 49ers? That was classic Favre, just chucking it up and hoping for the best—and it worked! And let’s not forget his ridiculous streak of 297 consecutive starts; it’s a record that shows just how durable and tough the guy was. Even if he had hi...

Okay, I may be in the minority here, but I like Prescott a lot. Hope I don't get flamed for posting such a glowing review of him! Would love to hear your feedback :) Dak Prescott is one of those quarterbacks who really makes you appreciate the art of the position. Since taking over the Dallas Cowboys’ starting role in 2016, Prescott has shown he’s more than just a game manager—he’s a playmaker with a knack for big moments. One of his standout seasons was in 2016, his rookie year, when he led the Cowboys to a 13-3 record. Prescott threw for over 3,600 yards and 23 touchdowns, while also showing incredible poise and leadership on the field. His ability to connect with his receivers and make smart decisions under pressure quickly earned him the respect of fans and critics alike. Prescott’s play style is all about precision and toughness. He’s got a great arm and isn’t afraid to take hits to make the big play. His leadership on and off the field is also a huge plus—he’s the kind of q...

Back at it again with another great! Can't stop won't stop :) Lamar Jackson is like a human highlight reel on the football field. Ever since he burst onto the scene with the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, he’s been turning heads and rewriting what it means to be a quarterback. Known for his electrifying speed and elusive moves, Jackson is more than just a traditional passer—he’s a dual-threat machine. His 2019 season was nothing short of legendary. He led the Ravens to a 14-2 record and became the youngest quarterback ever to win the NFL MVP award. Jackson threw for over 3,100 yards and 36 touchdowns, but what really set him apart was his 1,206 rushing yards, breaking the single-season rushing record for a quarterback. What a season! Watching Jackson is like watching a video game in real life. His ability to scramble, make defenders miss, and then launch a deep pass is just mind-blowing. Remember that 2018 game against the Cincinnati Bengals? Jackson had a game-winning 47-yard tou...

Sorry it's been a minute since I've posted — got busy with the holidays and then worked had me slammed! But now I can get back to my passion, reviewing Quarterbacks! Onto another great: Russell Wilson. He's one of those quarterbacks who just makes you root for him, no matter who you’re cheering for. This guy’s journey is the definition of the underdog story. Drafted in the third round in 2012, Wilson quickly made a name for himself with the Seattle Seahawks. He’s got this knack for extending plays and making something out of nothing. The 2014 season was a prime example. Wilson took the Seahawks to Super Bowl XLVIII, where they dominated the Denver Broncos 43-8. He was on fire, throwing for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns, and his performance was just electric. You couldn’t help but be impressed. Then there’s his ability to scramble. Seriously, his legs are like rocket boosters. Watching him run around, evade defenders, and then make a perfect throw is always exciting. Remember...

Patrick Mahomes is like a breath of fresh air for NFL fans. Watching him play is like watching a highlight reel unfold in real-time. This guy’s got an arm that can launch the football across the field like it’s a rocket. He’s been with the Kansas City Chiefs since 2017, and let’s just say he’s made quite the splash. Remember Super Bowl LIV? That game was something else. Mahomes led the Chiefs to a 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, pulling off a stunning comeback. He threw for 286 yards and 2 touchdowns, and you could see him working his magic with those no-look passes and insane plays. What a game! But, as with any superstar, Mahomes isn’t immune to a bit of criticism. Some folks say he sometimes relies a bit too much on his raw talent and improvisation. There’ve been moments where his risky throws haven’t exactly paid off, and the Chiefs' offense can get a little too flashy. And while he's had a stellar start to his career, some wonder how he’ll handle the long haul...

Drew Brees is one of those guys who just makes you go, “Wow, what a player!” He had this incredible knack for accuracy and leadership that kept us all glued to our screens. Brees was pretty much the face of the New Orleans Saints for two decades, and man, did he deliver. Remember the 2009 Super Bowl? That game was epic. Brees led the Saints to their first-ever championship, and you could see why everyone loved him. He was on fire, hitting 32 of 39 passes and throwing 2 touchdowns. You could just feel the magic in that game, and it’s one of those moments Saints fans will never forget. But hey, even legends have their off days. Brees didn’t always shine in the playoffs like he did during the regular season. Take the 2011 playoffs, for instance. The Saints were looking strong, but then they got knocked out by the San Francisco 49ers in this crazy game. Brees had a chance to win it late, and then… bam—the drive stalled. What the heck was that? And towards the end of his career, people not...
