I am not talking about career comparisons. I'm just saying where these guys rank right now.
All five QBs made the playoffs. All five have solid to very good teams and head coaches. Kaepernick went the furthest.
Answer this: would you trade Tom Brady even up (considering contract and age) for any one of Wilson, Luck, RG3 or Manning?
Brady and Rodgers are the two best quarterbacks in the NFL right now. The top 5 QBs in the NFL are:
Brady
Rodgers
Brees
Roethlisberger
P. Manning
with Manning in decline and possibly to fall out of the group this year. Luck might not even be in the top 15 right now, based off of last season. From 6-13, you can look at
Ryan
E. Manning
RG III
Romo
Rivers
Flacco
Stafford
Schaub
and, maybe, Wilson, in whatever order suits your fancy. After that, you've got Dalton, Luck, Cutler, Newton and others slotting out the next 5-7 spots.
And the fact that you're tossing in contract and age should tell you that your trade isn't based upon how good the players are. If age and contract weren't factors, Brady and Rodgers would be tradeable in an even swap only with each other.
