We might disagree with the slotting, but N.E. is rated ahead of N.O. and Pitt, and it's obvious that age of the starter played a part in the rankings.
Foles signed w Jax.I might switch off #2 Green Bay with Rodgers and Kizer for #6 Philly with Wentz and Foles. I think we should be placed at somewhere between 5-7 (Brady's age a factor).
Ridiculous
Mahones has 1 post season win to his name and has yet to survive year 2 of an NFL QB. Defensive Coordinators have had all off season to study his films and find tendacies. BB shut his axx out in the first half of the AFCC
Henne is a bum.
Brady is a 6 time world champ with no signs of slowing down. This 2019 team has the appearance of being better than 2018 squad.
Harry could be the best Brady WR since Moss in terms of going up and taking the ball out of the air.
Harris is paired with Sony. This looks like the best NE run game in BBs history as NE HC.

If you polled all 32 NFL GMs and asked which team has the best quarterback situation, my guess is all 32 would pick the team with the 23-year-old All Pro. That's as good as it gets.
Still think Mahomes is overrated. He is good. He had an exceptional season. We’ve seen this before (band wagon after one season) and history has shown that the initial excitement rarely translates to sustained success.

Have we, though? Can you find any other QB whose first season came within shouting distance of this who didn't amount to much in the long run?
66% completions, 5,097 yards, 50 TDs, 12 INTs, 113.8 passer rating

I want to see him do it twice more before the Canton bust.

I don’t disagree that Mahomes was so good we are past “possible fluke” stage. Barring injuries it's a near certainty he's a starting, and probably star quarterback.
However, I've rewatched the AFC Championship game numerous times, and he was dog crap in that game. His stats may say one thing, but his actual play said quite another. He is (understandably, with his experience) very far away from an elite QB and not in Brady's stratosphere. It's far from a given that he will be an all-time great when it becomes to decision and mastering the cerebral game. As we saw with both Goff and Mahomes, a lot of their success was due to have a great supporting cast and defensive coordinators still figuring out their weaknesses. There have been a slew of QBs who looked unstoppable but peaked in year 2/3. Just a few years ago, a lot of these same GMs had Derek Carr has a sure-fire top-5 QB to build a franchise around due to his age and assumed continuous improvement.
Alex Smith's numbers in 2017: 67.5%, 26 TDs, 5 INTs, 104.7 rating. A career year in that offense with those players.
Totally fair, I'm not about to claim that Mahomes is a sure-fire great. It will take years to know. I'm just saying that with the evidence currently available, anybody who could choose a QB to lead their team going forward would choose him.
