100% co-sign. Dak is our world, but Winston is a young phenom that destroys the ceiling of Wentz and Mariota. I am starting to believe in Mariota, whereas before I thought he was a Dalton-type, maybe a little better... but his redzone efficiency and sophomore season, as well as his decision making, are making him a legit franchise QB in my eyes.

Still, out of those four, it's Dak and Winston, then the rest.

The narrative around Dak is already getting cemented: He's only good because of the offensive pieces around him. Get ready to hear this ad nauseum: "If Wentz, Mariota, whoever etc... had what Dak has then they'd all be putting up better numbers than Prescott."

But I digress... you can build around any of those guys. They're all franchise QBs for the next 10 years. I put Dak at the top due to the intangibles of his leadership and character. He handles himself well on and off the field and has already established a reputation as a guy whose preparation is on par with Brady. From a pure athletic/physical standpoint-- Wentz looks like the real deal, and Mariota would be right there as well, both rated slightly higher than Dak in terms of measurables. Winston would be last for me.

1. Dak
2. Mariota
3. Winston
4. Wentz

Mariota might have more physical skills but Dak's leadership, mentality and poise make him the better guy to have.

When Winston is 25, Carr's age, 3 years from now, he will be a perennial MVP candidate. Just like Carr is about to be in his age 25 season.

Dak will be a Brady-type, a true franchise QB who wins championships off his prowess that displays less flashy statistics in exchange for intangibles that none of these young QB's will ever have.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess these guys are also homers who are rooting for laundry rather than actual adults. Am I right?
