Lamar Jackson whether we agree or disagree has been the best qb from the 2018 draft class thus far based on accolades, all pro teams, mvp's and pro bowls. Time will tell in the future if that remains the case
as for deshaun watson since bill o brien was fired in week 4. He has been the most dominant qb in the league with a pff grade of 91.2, with mahomes in 2nd at 90.6. I too thought that without hopkins that deshune would get exposed but thats not really been the case( hes actually gotten better). We will see how deshune does goung forward this year now that reciever Fuller has been suspended for the rest of the season
this graphic was actually posted before the lions thanksgiving noon game. Also Deshune is one of the few quaotbacks i sort of respect because of his story, quitting school to look at after his sick mom. I can relate because i was 15 when my dad was addicted to drugs and my mom was diagnosed breast cancer

I also agree with the premise that passer rating can be an overrated stat, but when you have an elite passer rating and an elite yards per completion like mahomes and watson, that means that they can diagnose coverages pre-snap and push the ball down the field in tight windows. Barring injury these guys are the future of the position, they have been elite every year since they have been in the league. I like justin herbert a lot, i get to watch him out here in cali but he does get away with a lot of risky throws( if he can dial it back some on the hero ball) i think his ceiling is unlimited
Also dak prescott is damn good, even thought as a lifelong giants fan i hate the guy. We are seeing the cowboys without dak look totally inept on offense, some of that could be mike mccarthy not really being a good coach and another part of that as i have always believed is that zeke elliot is the most overrated running back in the league and has been for years. CMAC get underrated, but look at the panthers without the guy, teddy bridgewater isnt anything more than checkdown charlie backup. The Panthers are going to draft a qb this upcoming draft for sure. I like Zack Wilson
