Who’s looked worse or had the biggest decline year to year?

Ryan has been really bad though... I haven't watched Russel of late. Probably got that bag and checked out.

Statistically Wilson is bottom of the options with Rodgers right above him. From an eye test, I’d have to say Wilson and then Matt Ryan.

Rodgers would have to be top on the list for biggest year-to-year decline.

But there’s no wrong answer as all have looked pretty much like shells of their former selfs.

Russell Wilson easily. Aaron has no recievers and a sketchy line. Same with Brady. Ryan isn’t elite. Had a couple good years. Russ was set up to win the whole thing
Agree. I love GB, AR, and Lazard - but when an old COBB and Lazard are your 1st and 2nd options, you’ve got issues - not to mention an Iowa State level OL. Lazard is a great 2nd or 3rd option when you have a guy like GB had the past couple years, but not when he’s a primary.

Not sure Matt Ryan belongs on that list. But I think it's Russ easily

Rodgers shouldnt be on the list. Poor GM moves and a busted thumb and all, but hes still got the last two MVP trophies. He didnt get worse all of a sudden
I mostly agree. He’s had a lot of passes each game that look horrible, but I think a lot of it is because of bad routes and sub-par receivers. You add in having the team on your back, not having a good OL, etc and it’s going to make him look a lot worse than otherwise. Their whole concept for drafts and free agency for the past 10 years has been absolutely brutal.

My other team is the Eagles and what they’ve done has been amazing balancing both sides of the ball and doing smart trades.

Ranking the five on ESPN TQBR --

21.) Stafford
22.) Brady
25.) Matty Ice
28.) A-Rodg
29.) Wilson

So I voted Wilson. He's been awful. He deserves this dishonor.

And just to sense check this metric is reasonable, here is the top ten --

1.) Mahomes
2.) Tua
3.) Josh Allen
4.) Hurts
5.) Geno
6.) Goff
7.) Brissett
8.) Burrow
9.) Lamar
10.) Carr

Some of those might seem surprising up there, but guys like Geno and Goff are having very good seasons. I think the top four is unimpeachable, though, and one of the four will win MVP.

I might add some of these qbs have issues with injuries or departures with their offensive line and wide receivers. I know it's part of the game but still....

I don’t classify Ryan as elite but Wilson has been very bad
