Both Mannings are better than Andy. Most people would consider Newton better, and Tannehill, Stafford, and Cutler are all arguable. With that said, it really has nothing to do with whether those guys are better than Andy or not, Shake was refuting the claim that the SEC doesn't produce quality QBs. There are only 32 starters in the NFL, and whether you like it or not, all 6 in question either are or were considered franchise QBs in their prime with contracts and production that backed it up. When almost 20% of NFL starters are from 1 conference, I'd say it's pretty ridiculous to claim said conference doesn't produce NFL quality players, no?
2. I'm all for that as long as the same people that wish to see him play first can hold off on bashing him or claiming that he's not going to be very good. I think calling him a future star is quite overboard, but it's kind of crazy how some people seemingly get VERY upset at the notion of him being any good. I believe someone has pointed it out, but I've definitely seen quite a bit of blind nuthugging of backup QBs in Cincinnati over the last 10 years, it's not like any backup would get this same treatment.
Exactly. Thank you.
