Patrick Mahomes - BRADY - Brady
Justin Herbert - RIVERS - Rivers (herbert has potential)
Derek Carr - FLACCO - Tie
Joe Burrow - P. MANNING - Manning
Lamar Jackson - VINCE YOUNG - Jackson
Baker Mayfield - ANDY DALTON - tie
Josh Allen - ROETHLISBERGER - very close
Mac Jones - ANDREW LUCK - Luck easily (Mac Jones sucks other than game manager) !!

I tried to compare ~ 10 years ago to the current day QB.  The QBs from 10 years ago look better than the current QBs.  The 10 year stretch of Brady, Manning, Ben, and Rivers was like no other in a single conference.

Again, not saying the QBs of that era are not unimpressive.  But that list is spread out over a much larger period of time.  Flacco came into the league in 2008.  Dalton entered the league in 2011.  Luck came in 2012.  The guys on your list came into the league over a span of FIFTEEN (15) years.  My initial list came into the league over a span of FIVE (5) years.  Keep in mind, my initial list would have been enhanced had I included DeShaun Watson, whom I excluded from the initial list because of his legal trouble and potential trade out of the conference.  If he clears his legal hurdle and resumes his career in the AFC, he is returned to the list.

Oh yeah...Vince Young?  Seriously?
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
