Young guns watch! QB's that were highly touted coming out over the last 5 seasons. 2011-2015 seasons totals, only 1 game left in the 2015 Season then the Playoffs. Ranked by winning % Regular Season and Playoff record is combined:
1. Russell Wilson 51-20 71.8% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has won 1 SB)
2. Andrew Luck 38-23 62.3% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has led a team to the AFC Title Game/Final 4)
3. Andy Dalton 49-30-1 62.0% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has never won a Playoff game)
4. Colin Kaepernick 31-22 58.5% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has won an NFC Conference Title)
5. Cam Newton 45-34-1 56.9% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has won 1 Playoff WildCard Game to advance to the 2nd Round)
6. Nick Foles 19-17 52.8% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has never won a Playoff game)
7. Ryan Tannehill 28-35 44.4% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has never made the Playoffs)
8. RG3 14-22 38.9% (Best Playoff accomplishment = Has never won a Playoff game)
-at least 36 starts to qualify!
All of these QB's except Wilson, Newton, and Tannehill were all either injured at times throughout the 2015 Season or demoted to backup QB. Andrew Luck still has the biggest upside out of all of these QB's though IMO and still ranks 2nd out of 8 winning % wise, he was unfortunately injured in his flawless performance against an undefeated Broncos team in Week 9 where he got a win. I am real curious to see what kind of run Cam Newton can generate in the Playoffs to enhance his legacy. He had a golden opportunity to go 16-0 in this 2015 Regular Season but failed to do so. Lets see if he can even get to a Final 4? Out of the 8 QB's I listed, only 3 QB's = Wilson, Kaepernick, and Luck have led teams to at least a Final 4/deep in the Playoffs. Pressure is on Cam. I really don't see Wilson doing much in these Playoffs because I think Cam's Panthers are better and I think the Cards are better too but you never know, maybe Wilson will snag that 2nd SB trophy??
