Bob's Quality Quarterbacks

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 dive into Deshaun Watson. I was chatting with my cousin Mark about Watson the other day, and we had a lot to say. No doubt, Watson’s talent is off the charts—he’s got an arm that can make any throw and the kind of mobility that lets him escape pressure and create plays. His 2020 season with the Houston Texans was stellar; he threw for over 4,800 yards and 33 touchdowns, and his ability to perform in tough situations was evident. Watson’s play style is all about making big plays and improvising. He’s got this incredible knack for extending plays and finding his receivers downfield. His performance in that game against the Tennessee Titans, where he threw for 335 yards and 4 touchdowns, was just electric. You can see why he’s been so highly regarded when he’s on the field. But, and this is a big but, there’s a lot of controversy around him. The off-field issues and legal troubles have overshadowed his career and cast a huge cloud over his potential. It’s tough to separat...

Alright, let’s chat about Josh Allen because, seriously, this guy is just something else. I was telling my buddy Fred about Allen last week, and we were both like, "Man, this guy’s a beast!" Since coming into the NFL with the Buffalo Bills in 2018, Allen’s been a total game-changer. He’s got this massive arm and the kind of mobility that makes him dangerous in so many ways. His 2022 season was wild—he threw for over 4,200 yards and 35 touchdowns, and let’s not forget his rushing ability. The dude can run like a running back too, with over 700 rushing yards that season. Allen’s play style is all about big plays and physicality. He’s not afraid to take off and make something happen with his legs, and when he throws, he can launch it downfield with serious power. That game against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021? Unbelievable. He threw for 329 yards and 4 touchdowns in a high-scoring shootout that had everyone on the edge of their seats. Yeah, he’s still got some stuff to work ...

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...

Okay, let’s chat about Justin Fields because I’m super excited about this guy. Since he came into the NFL with the Chicago Bears, Fields has been one of the most intriguing quarterbacks to watch. His blend of athleticism and raw talent is pretty wild. He’s got this incredible speed and agility that make him a nightmare for defenses. In his rookie season, even though the Bears had a rough go, Fields showed flashes of brilliance. His run against the San Francisco 49ers in 2021, where he scampered for a 22-yard touchdown, was one of those “wow” moments that gets fans pumped. Fields’ style is all about that dynamic, dual-threat ability. He can make plays with his legs and has a cannon of an arm when he needs it. His scramble ability and knack for extending plays are definitely his strong suits. Sometimes he’ll take off and turn a broken play into a huge gain, which is super exciting to watch. Sure, he’s had his struggles with consistency and adapting to the NFL speed, but the potential is...

Matthew Stafford is one of those quarterbacks who doesn’t always get the spotlight but seriously deserves way more credit. He’s been doing his thing with the Detroit Lions and now the Los Angeles Rams, and man, the guy can throw a football like nobody’s business. Stafford’s got this rocket arm and can make those deep throws look easy, plus he’s got a cool, calm demeanor that keeps his team in the game even when things get crazy. His 2021 season with the Rams was a game-changer; he led them to a Super Bowl win and finally got that elusive championship ring. It was awesome seeing him finally get his due after years of putting up solid numbers with the Lions. Stafford’s style is all about airing it out and taking chances. He’s not afraid to go for the big play, and he’s got the arm strength to back it up. Remember that amazing 2020 game against the Chicago Bears where he threw for 330 yards and 3 touchdowns? Stafford made it look effortless. And even though he’s had his share of injuries...

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...
