Actually it wasn't me it was 50 experts in the game. I think Andy ranked a little low in this poll, but I do not dismiss the young QBs just because they are young.
Who's a better RB:
Leonard Fornette or Lamar Miller
Who's a better CB:
Jalen Ramsey or Jimmy Smith
Who's a better DE:
Joey Bosa or Olivier Vernon
All the experienced players I listed have proven to be every bit as good at their position as Andy is at his. Of course it's subjective; unfortunately, it's not always objective.
Ok, BFine, you're a great provocateur and I usually agree with you on a lot of things. However, I think you are putting to much stock in this "expert" thing.
These NFL experts are wrong all the time.
32 teams, that is owners, GMs, scouts, HCs and so on did not have Tom Brady as a 1st round QB. They didn't even have him as a 2nd round or 3rd round.
At least one team had Chad Pennington listed as better than Tom Brady and so did other teams that took a QB before his selection.
In reverse there were many teams that gushed over Ryan Leif, Jamarcus Russell and RGIII. Some people were enamored with Brady Quinn and didn't know why he fell so far. Others passed on Aaron Rodgers.
Now these same people that claim that Prince Amukamara would be a shut down CB is telling us that DeShaun Watson is going to be the next HoF based off of a 7 game stretch. Yes Watson will put on a show, but it is a little early to rank him ahead of a guy that has won 2 SBs.
I remember Dak getting similar love after his rookie season. Now he is ranked lower.
Wentz does have good sample size and I can see why some are quick to anoint him but face it, the Eagles didn't miss a beat when he went out. The NFL was already doing "What if" stories on the Eagles had Wentz stayed healthy, yet they weren't needed as Foles; a guy that isn't even on this list and is not considered a good QB, was a SB MVP with the same team. So Wentz could just be a mediocre QB that is in the right place at the right time, just like Matt Cassell
