Execs, coaches, scouts rank top NFL quarterbacks for 2026

@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.

You see what I mean? I’m replying to you am I not? I’m not replying to that particular poster because he claims I make him fall into a rabbit hole.

If I were anti Dak there would be no problem.

 

[McKDaddy]

I didn’t call you any names either all I said was you lied

LOL. You "just" called me a "liar" but you didn't call me any names.

Have you retracted that? I mean you did admit your statement was incorrect. Which was all I was saying.

So, please retract that "loudly" just like ya put it out there.

 

[Vtwin]

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.

I have zero fear of falling down your rabbit hole. Only an idiot would chase you down there.

I (we) just like standing there and watching you scurry from one hole to another while bouncing bb's from the old Daisy off your forehead when it pops up. Only one pump though. Don't want to hurt you to bad.

 

[5Stars]

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.

lmao...are you being picked on by us meanies, Vtwin and I? Soft.

 

[McKDaddy]

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.

Here is 100% honest. I have issue with anyone being dishonest, disingenious, refusing to acknowledge the validity of a way of thinking (assuming it has validity), name calling, trying to belittle or disparage, rabbit hole, unnecessarily confuse the issue at hand, etc., regardless of their argument.

Please stop acting as though I'm anti-Dak. I'm 1 million % anti those posters who can't have an honest, fair conversation about HIS performance. I've given Dak his due when he's played well. But I absolutely refuse to overlook his weaknesses & failures. Just like I do with every other player.

I did I said I was wrong they were bad 2 years out of 5. I gave you that.

I called you a liar because you lied lol. If I said non truth teller would that have been better? Sorry for calling you a liar I’ll refrain from
Using that verbiage.

Ok that’s fair.

So let me ask you on occasion have liked posts that have contained insults to me and other pro Dak guys….doesnt that go against your code or what you stand for?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

lmao...are you being picked on by us meanies, Vtwin and I? Soft.

I’m gonna be 100 percent honest with you….hand on the bible….i think it’s pathetic people old enough to be grandparents are still acting like children. It’s a mix between feeling sorry for you and ashamed. But the last thing it is me being offended. You’re a loser and not happy with your life. I assume vtwin is the same. I can’t imagine being 60 or 70 and having some weird little girl fetish you two have. When I tell you guys to get help I mean it because it’s not too late. You have time to change.

They were bad 3 of 5. It was shown by myself & others.

Well, I'm confused. Can you show me where I lied? I don't believe there is even the slightest basis to say I lied about anything so please provide specific post #'s & how it's untrue.

If you can't, then I want a full, heart felt retraction.

Yours Humbly,

lmao...did you get that Bible in Church? Was Rockport there also?

I'm a loser in life? I have accomplished things in life you would never be able to achieve. Soft.

Only an idiot would chase me down there yet you and @5Stars admit to falling in my rabbit hole…you can’t make this up go take a nap now you’re insulting yourself…..

lol...ah, so you admit you like to rabbit hole people, huh? It's about time you admitted that, however, it's a well know fact that that is what you do...all...the...time. Now, go read that Bible!

 

[McKDaddy]

Ok that’s fair.

Absolutely I have. I don't believe I have EVER seen anyone insult or treat yourself or any other pro Dak guys like ya'll treat others UNTIL they were responding to those actions.

Once those lines are crossed, everyone has the right to defend themselves & the instigator deserves what they get.

Year-by-year

* 2020: 32nd
* 2021: 10th
* 2022: 17th
* 2023: 16th
* 2024: 15th
* 2025: 30th

These are their offensive rankings according to ChatGPT…Vtwin posted something of them being 7th one year? Not sure but if these rankings are correct that’s bad 2 years out of 6…

 

[Vtwin]

I did I said I was wrong they were bad 2 years out of 5. I gave you that.

The third year you are counting as good they were ranked 17th. Prescott has two lines out of ten that ranked lower than 17th. In other words, Prescott has had much better line support than Herbert over his career.

2016	1–2	One of the greatest OLs of the decade. Tyron Smith, Zack Martin, Travis Frederick, Doug Free, Ronald Leary/La'el Collins powered Ezekiel Elliott's rushing title and Dak Prescott's stellar rookie year.
2017	4–8	Still excellent, though injuries and Ezekiel Elliott's suspension hurt the offense.
2018	6–10	Travis Frederick missed the entire season with Guillain-Barré syndrome, causing a noticeable drop.
2019	2–5	Frederick returned and the line rebounded behind Smith, Martin, Collins, and Frederick.
2020	20–30	Massive collapse due to injuries. Tyron Smith, La'el Collins, and Zack Martin all missed significant time.
2021	8–12	Improved, but no longer the dominant force of previous years.
2022	4–8	Tyler Smith emerged immediately at left tackle/guard while Zack Martin remained elite.
2023	6–10	Strong pass protection overall, though run blocking was less dominant than in the peak years.
2024	15–22	Transition year after Tyron Smith's departure. Rookie Tyler Guyton, Cooper Beebe, and injuries made the unit inconsistent.

Overall eras​

• 2016–2017: Elite, arguably the NFL's best offensive line.
• 2018–2019: Still among the league's top groups despite Frederick's illness in 2018.
• 2020: One of the biggest injury-driven declines in the NFL.
• 2021–2023: Good to very good, anchored by Zack Martin and the emergence of Tyler Smith.
• 2024: Middle-of-the-pack while rebuilding around younger players.

A rough average by era:

• 2016–2019: Top 5
• 2020: Bottom 5
• 2021–2023: Around Top 10
• 2024: Around 18th

The Cowboys' line during the Tyron Smith–Travis Frederick–Zack Martin era is still widely regarded as one of the NFL's best offensive line stretches of the past 20 years.

2 #1s numerous 1st Rd picks on the o line and a running game and playing the NFC e as t up until the last 3 years has allowed him to stat pad

Ok cool. Give me other examples of other quarterbacks who were considered "stat padders" because of the numerous 1st round picks, o-line and their division. Ive never heard that reasoning before....

Or is Dak the first quarterback in 100 years of NFL football to have accomplished this.... but yeah, give me other examples of quarterbacks who have "stat padded" because of those things you've named.

While you think of that, let me remind you that Dak put up top 4, top 5 production last season, while leading a top 4 ranked offense. Hold on.... check this out.

Dak was able to do those things playing behind a 21st ranked offensive line, while carrying a 32nd ranked and historically worst defense. I guess stat padding looks a little different when this vaunted offensive line is ranked 21st and your team has the worst defense in football huh.

Let me see where your football IQ is real quick.

Our offense was ranked 4th overall out of 32 teams in the NFL and our defense was ranked 32nd out of 32 teams..... why do you believe we missed the playoffs last season? What was the problem on our team that kept us from getting there?

Your answer to this question and the ones above will let us all know where your football IQ is at.

Wait….youre saying all of tb se insults from anti Dak guys have come because they are defending themselves? There’s no way you believe that. It’d literally happening in this thread right now and you can’t say you didn’t see it because you have liked the posts lol….

 

[Vtwin]

Only an idiot would chase me down there yet you and @5Stars admit to falling in my rabbit hole…you can’t make this up go take a nap now you’re insulting yourself…..

Pointing out your rabbit holing ways is not equal to falling in them just like seeing and avoiding a pile of dog crap is not stepping in it.

We see it, we point at it, we laugh at it.

Yeah, I do admit that Dak played some serious ball last season, very good, let's hope he can do that again and the defense can pull their weight for once.

lol...ah, so you admit you like to rabbit hole people, huh? It's about time you admitted that, however, it's a well know fact that that is what you do...all...the...time. Now, go read that Bible!

Apparently young tmc hasn't noticed that rabbit holing references have become a bit of a meme here. Arguably his greatest contribution to the forum.
