Quote:Teddy has the highest upside of any QB in this draft IMO. He can be a top-five, elite quarterback, and I don't see Mariota or Carr having a higher ceiling than that. Does anyone honestly see those two being the best in the league?

 

Similarly, Ryan Leaf had the best physical tools of anyone in the '98 draft, but he didn't have a higher upside than Manning. Those same pundits who said he had a limited physical ceiling also said he had the chance to one day be the best quarterback in the NFL, so it was one big contradiction. 

 

I dislike the ceiling argument. If you have the skillset, your ceiling is a top qb. The argument should be the probability to reach that ceiling. Rodgers, Brees, Manning, and Brady all operate differently and are top qbs. 

 

I don't see Mariota/Carr becoming the best in the league but, they could. They have the talent to do so.
