Nice stats but the major flaw is if you notice how Ryan, Flacco and Rodgers are towards the top and besides Peyton Manning not many of the qbs that have played for a long time are on the list. I mean your comparing career stats of 1 year against 10 year stats of course the 1 year starters will be on top of most categories.

But like i said good stats

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Considering players have a natural tendency to perform well once they become veterans in the league, I think it is exceedingly rare that Ryan, Flacco, Rodgers and Roethlisberger are so capable relative to their more experienced peers.

Could they regress statistically? Absolutely. But chances are equally good that they can maintain a high level of play or improve as QBs as they become more experienced.
