Mayfield's QBR has declined every week since he took over for Tyrod Taylor in Week 3. In that relief appearance, he had a week-best 96.1 QBR. But he followed it up with a 53.1, a 41.0 and a 14.5 in Week 6 against the Chargers.

I think we'll get to see Kelly play in the 2nd half of the season. What's going to suck is that he's not going to have a team worth a **** by the time we get there.

Too many injuries. Too many quitters. We may also have assistants leading the team at that point.

That's why you start Kelly now when there is hope and guys still are playing hard.

Starting him when the season is totally lost is stupid.

[GaryPupiak]

As of right now, here's where the top 4 rookie QB's are ranked based on QB rating:

26 Sam Darnold
30 Josh Rosen
32 Baker Mayfield
34 Josh Allen


Just for laughs:

28 Case Keenum

Chad Kelly's talent is so far superior to Keenum it defies all common logic why he is not playing.

Not only is his talent superior, he is exciting to watch. Keenum = zzzzzzzzz.

This class of rookie qb’s looks as good as any I can remember you would think at least a couple will flame out but if their trajectory continues this might be compared to the 83’ class in a few years.

Better make that about 10 years, because that class had 3 HOF guys. You think 3 HOF QB's are coming from this class? I don't see that or anything remotely like that yet.

I'm not sure what trajectory you're seeing since we're in the 7th week of the season, but simply because these guys are getting to start doesn't tell me much at this point. The trend with the rules changes is helping them, I realize that, and it might boost all of them, but for me the real test will be what they do next year once teams are looking at more film on them.

Dak Prescott was looking better as a rookie than he looks now.

Maybe. But right now, although still way too early to draw any conclusions, there isn't a strong case that this group is better than 2016 (Goff/Wentz/Prescott) or 2017 (Trubisky/Mahomes/Watson). So talking '83 is getting a little carried away.

While giving up a bajillion yards on the ground...

And lose the game by 3 points.

[Agamemnon]

We are going to use Rosen as our own personal cock mop on Thursday.

It’ll be fun to watch Peyton 2.0 on Thursday night.

[IndelibleScribe]

Well, after Thursday hes gonna own that top spot!
Cmon Douche! We need you to light up the broncos!

Along those same lines, this is a pretty good one for Darnold.



I'd take either of those guys over Keemian in a New York minute.

[Mile High Salute]

REPPED for pure awesomeness!

[Mile High Salute]

Lynch had potential for 3 years..... what team does he play for now?

Good call.

If these guys all suck three years from now, then we can talk. However, I'm betting the Broncos are going to make Rosen look pretty darn good as soon as this Thursday, just like we did with Darnold. They will see what they missed out on.

So far every single one of these guys have already shown more than Lynch ever did. Just a laughable take. I'll do it again.

[Mile High Salute]

It’s not a judgment. Merely an observation. Nobody’s breaking out the bust label.

All I know is that all of them have a higher ceiling than Keemian, except for probably Lamar Jackson.
