He talks about the Super Bowls that their teams have won. Is that the only metric? What about the quality and balance of those teams vs the quality of teams the '83 guys were on?

It's still too early to tell....but I don't see why not.

Don Banks can have Manning, Roth, and Rivers, and I will take Elway, Marino, and Kelly. And my team will kick the crap out of his team.

2006 has them both beat with Cutler, Leinart, and Young.

That's projecting pretty far out for the 04' class to top the 83' class.

As of now, I don't think the 04' class has topped the 00' class yet. (Brady, Pennington, Bulger.)

I'd also take the 93' class over the 04' class as of now.(Bledsoe, Brunell, Green.)

Using the new player season finder on PFR, we can see how every QB in NFL history has done at every stage of their careers.

Using the adjusted yards per attempt index, Rivers ranks 7th through age 27, Roethlisberger 12th and Eli 63rd.
