Execs, coaches, scouts rank top NFL quarterbacks for 2026

[Vtwin]

Chargers o-line rankings since 2020 according to Chatgpt below.

Additional notes from my look at PFR:
2021 the 10th ranked o-line was offset by the 29th ranked defense.
2023 the 7th ranked o-line was offset by the 24th ranked defense and Herbert was injured and didn't finish the season.

Efforts to make the case that Herbert has had it as good or even equal to Dak throughout his career are moronic.

2020

32nd

Worst offensive line in the NFL. Injuries and poor play from free-agent additions Bryan Bulaga and Trai Turner doomed Justin Herbert's rookie season.

2021

10th

Massive turnaround after adding Rashawn Slater, Corey Linsley, and Matt Feiler. Slater immediately became one of the NFL's best left tackles.

2022

~20th

Injuries hit hard (Slater, Linsley, Pipkins, etc.). The line regressed to roughly league average despite talent.

2023

7th

One of the league's better units when healthy, led by Slater and Linsley. Rookie Zion Johnson improved and Jamaree Salyer provided depth.

2024

17th

Rookie Joe Alt played well, but injuries (especially to Slater and interior linemen) and inconsistent guard play dropped the unit back to the middle of the league.

Oh wow 7th in the league even better than I thought lol. What a dumb thing to post in your favor.

You asked AI was the Chargers offensive line good….how is this an example of evidence lol? Why don’t you ask AI what were their rankings? Why are you being lazy?

It’s ironic coming from you that you think you are a truth teller. I’ve caught you on numerous occasions. You made the claim guys like Malik Hooker and Goodwin were all pros and Dak has played with 28 All Pros. You can’t be a truth teller if the only information you know is from AI.

Because season ending rankings don't mean crap. Being injury riddled over numerous years, giving up huge amounts of pressure, not being able to run consistently and them constantly bringing in new guys each year to try & shore it up is evidence enough. But you have to actually watch the games to know those things, not just glance at some numbers.

I don't claim to know everything, so yes, I try to verify and provide information based on available information. If you don't like what it says, that's your problem.

You haven't "caught" me in anything. Yes, the info it provided about All Pro's was incorrect (even though it still clearly showed Dak has been supported by playing with way more All Pro's than the QB you were comparing him to). I clearly posted the data as being from a web search, not my own. So, you caught an error in a software, not me. Trying to act as though it's anyting else certainly isn't honest.

If you are honest, why not just admit your statement overstated how good the Charger Oline has been?

 

[DeaconMoss]

FACT - I never claimed the East was the worse I claimed that they were weak as a whole for the 1st 8 years of Dak's carear and I claimed playing them has been a factor in Dak's Stats

For me garbage time is 2 fold

1. When you are up by multiple scores on the bottom feeders in the league and continue to throw the ball
2. When you struggle against the top teams to open the game and then "make a comeback" by throwing against soft prevent defenses

FACT - This has been the MO of Dak is entire carear which has lead to a cornucopia of stats. He either beats up on the weak teams and plays like he is un the best shape of his life.

FACT -Or he struggles to begin a game againstthe top tier teams which consists of multiple 3 and outs with the occasional fumble or interception. After a deficit in the high teens "Mr. Comeback" Accumulates multiple "Stats" which his Apologists use as "Facts" to defend His greatness and lofty rankings

FACT -Meanwhile real football fans who happen to be Cowboy fans are patiently awaiting for all the madness to end. We made it this far "what is a couple more years of our live?"

FACT -He will be gone soon and at least then we can have some kind of actually hope instead of the delusional kind of hope Dak Obsessers have

Season ending rankings don’t mean crap? Since when?

You being wrong ain’t a problem. We ask AI and it’s not always right. Fair it’s how you’re extremely loud with the lie or misinformation but far more quiet with the accountability or admission of being wrong. Even still the information was wrong and you throw in “well still had more all pros then the guy we were arguing”….it doesn’t make your information right lol.

Fact is you are making excuses for Herbert that you wouldn’t afford Dak which is weird but you aren’t the only one. Everyone turned on Stroud this year saying his bad he is despite having a bad line since he’s been in the league. Herbert gets this weird pass for some reason.

I’ll be honest I went back and saw I said the offensive line has only been bad one year. They’ve been bad two years. His rookie year they were bad too.

 

[Yobwocs]

You got owned again and moving the goal posts as usual. Can’t wait for the next spin.

That's his calling card. He tries so hard. Harder than Swagger and Hadenough tries, and those are some of Dak's biggest haters.

OGSixShooter is ridiculous but he doesn't try as hard.

 

[Yobwocs]

He will be gone soon and at least then we can have some kind of actually hope instead of the delusional kind of hope Dak Obsessers have

He's not going anywhere. Not until 2032. That's not even anything worth hoping for.

A top 6 QB according to the league is like royalty in the NFL. Most people don't share your exaggerated opinions on him. If he is going somewhere, it'll be mutually beneficial trade..... but he's not gonna sent away.

 

[5Stars]

Isn’t it time for your diaper change?

lol...what a juvnile dig. How embarrassing.

 

[Vtwin]

Oh wow 7th in the league even better than I thought lol. What a dumb thing to post in your favor.

Dumb to a simpleton maybe. You're lost in your own rabbit hole network. Let me refresh your memory. The quote below is what this references back to.

Herbert has had a stacked team for years. He doesn’t get the excuse of weapons. As a matter of fact you can argue he has better weapons than Dak.

It was pointed out to you that his offensive line has struggled quite a bit at times. You rejected that without any real substantiation. I used AI to access some facts that refute your rejection then I did a little research myself to look deeper as to why the Chargers failed in those 2 years when they did have a good line. Turns out their defense was bottom of the barrel and Herbert played hurt and couldn't finish the season. I didn't look any further than that to see if there were any other significant injury losses.

So, the conclusion is very clearly, no, you can't say

Herbert has had a stacked team for years. He doesn’t get the excuse of weapons. As a matter of fact you can argue he has better weapons than Dak.

That is very clearly not true.

 

[McKDaddy]

Can you demonstrate how I was "loud" with the "lie or misinformation" as you call it? I simply posted the information.

If you go back to that string, I did acknowledge that the information was incorrect and didn't have to be backed into a corner to do so.

I’ll be honest I went back and saw I said the offensive line has only been bad one year. They’ve been bad two years.

Even your own numbers show they've been bad 3 of the 5 years so you agree that I was correct to say your initial statement was incorrect? Notice that is all my initial response said. That the narrative was incorrect. I didn't call you any names, imply you were lying or put in LOL's. I simply said that I believed your statement was incorrect. There really wasn't any need for all this vitrol since then. That is my issue with you as a poster. You respond to anything I say that isn't to your liking with name calling, implying that I'm lying or being disingenious, trying to disparage me rather than just defend your position with facts or in cases like this, review your own statements & admit you overstated without any fuss.

Well, when he does leave, so will you, so it's a win, win situation. Bam.

 

[Yobwocs]

Cowboys roster have always featured bloated overrated garbage guised as Pro Bowlers. Jaylon Smith, Amari Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, Trevon Diggs, and Daron Bland are just some of the Pro Bowlers we've had thru the years. Bland is terrible in open field coverage, and struggles with big physical receivers...... but he's the only one of those still here.

The others were all sent away.... I'm sure we can all agree those players had short mileage. These are the players Dak haters use to suggest that the Cowboys roster is so strong and Dak shouldn't be failing in the postseason.

 

[McKDaddy]

Yeah I fight hard for the truth. Amazing how hard some of you resist any truth. Continue to applaud each others posts like the cult members you are while all the reasonable posters laugh at you.

I won’t even reply to all the misinformation and lies here because you will fall in the “rabbit hole” and god forbid we do that to you.

You goofed.

And not only did you good but @McKDaddy already confirmed end of season rankings don’t matter. His words.

The truth that’s anti Dak though right? The pro Dak truth doesn’t exist or worth searching for lol…

Owned.

Everything I posted came straight from an outside source. There is not one opinion, nor one lie, nor one bit of "misinformation" in that post.

When you've resorted to saying things like "we do..." when you are only speaking for yourself and even using another poster's words that have nothing to do with my posts, you clearly have no reasonable counterpoint and know it.

This is no better than your usual tactic of saying something like, "I'm not reading all of that lol", when you get humiliated and have no response.

I didn’t call you any names either all I said was you lied and insinuated he hasn’t had weapons. If you want to argue he’s had less weapons than Dak ok. But his offensive line being bad 2 out of 5 years seems like the same excuse giving you say guys give Dak. Ultimately only 2-5 matters right? Shouldn’t 0-3 only matter?

If you have an issue with me calling you a liar for posting misinformation? Fair. I scrolled up and I didn’t see the “name calling” suggested….i use Lols or emojis to lighten the tone of the post so it doesn’t go to somewhere it shouldn’t discussing football. Also worth noting you sent one my way and accused me of not liking facts or truths.

I think you’re being a tad bit sensitive here I feel I match your energy. I’ve never called you an idiot or stupid for an opinion. From my perspective you tag along with guys 5star and Vtwin who are known trolls and offer absolutely nothing other than negativity. Pea brain nincompoops….But I don’t treat you like I do them even when you make remarks like “I don’t like the truth” just because I don’t agree with you.

And let’s be honest here…if I was anti Dak or anti Cowboys you’d have zero issues with my posts or my approach. Let’s be honest with ourselves.

TMC and a few others use the term "we" because they have a mouse in their pocket. lmao

@Vtwin - @TheMarathonContinues won't reply to the misinformation. LOL. If I didn't know better I would say it sounds like someone who has been so irrefutably proven wrong they can only try to label the proof as misinformation. If he'd only take my word for everything as easily as he is taking my comment about year end rankings, world would be a lot quieter.

I gave you grace. You are afraid of falling down a rabbit hole. So I didn’t reply to you. You should be happy. No dumb back and forths. No name calling. No weird obsession with little girls….nothing . You’re welcome.
