Who's the next great Fantasy QB? (1 Viewer)

Not sure why your not taking Rodgers as your QB in non-salary dynasty. He has another 7-10 years likely and you know what you are getting.
Aaron Rodgers will be 32 years-old in 7 weeks.

7 more years of this kind of production is HIGHLY unlikely.
Why?Aren't Brees, Peyton, and Brady 39ish?

They were halfway similar to him at this age.

McCarthy has had an impressive offense for a long while now
The vast majority of QB's are not as productive in their upper 30's as they were in their lower 30's.

Are there a few exceptions? Yes.

Is it humanly possible? Yes.

Is it highly unlikely? Yes.
The other way to look at it is that every HOF-caliber talent in the NFL right now, who looked HOF-caliber at Rodgers age, is doing it into their late-30's. And he seems to be on that level right now. That plus the rule changes making longer careers for these guys more likely is a factor. The biggest argument against Rodgers is that he gets sacked too much and always has.

 
Why?

His line for Sunday if not for an extremely lucky bounce on the INT that went for a TD (OT would have not happened):

28 of 39 for 248 and 2TD

I have him in a Super Flex Salary League and trying to determine if I am better off flipping him and his slightly elevated salary for a lower cost Carr, Bridgewater, or others.
Right. That was against one of the NFL's worst pass defenses. Yesterday's game was nice but keep it in perspective.

There are reasons for optimism next year...new HC, presumably better OL, DGB in his 2nd year, etc. but I wouldn't jump to "next great fantasy QB" just yet.

 
Carr impresses the heck out of me. Not because of his numbers but because when I look at the Raiders, I don't have that feeling I have had about them for at least ten years. They have a chance to compete in every game now and Carr has a lot to do with that.
