Official Texans vs. Titans Game Thread, 11/26/2018

I don't disagree with the 8th place ranking. But if you name the top 8 teams...

Saints, Rams, Chiefs, Patriots, Chargers, Bears, Steelers, Texans

Then you notice some things.

I think you can take Brees, Brady, Rivers, and Rothleisberger and you probably have the top 4 of the top 5 veteran QBs, all HOFers (I'm not a Rivers fan but he's a lock). These 4 teams build their roster with high dollar, high floor QB play. You could throw Cam and Wilson in this mix as QBs of the 10th and 12th ranked teams. Rodgers is the only high dollar, proven talent not leading a playoff team.

Then you have Goff, Mahomes, Trubisky, and Watson. These 4 teams have cheap rookie deal QBs with money spent elsewhere in FA to build a team that allows a young QB to succeed.

If you are an NFL team and you aren't paying for truly elite QB play, then you better not be paying for QB play at all. Paying for an unproven QB is the quickest way to ruin a team in the modern NFL.
