Re: Rank your 16 starting AFC QBs
Had to take up another gig, after resigning as Ravens VP of PR.
Yeah, I've become super impressed with Fahey's work in the past 12-18 mos.
What also doesn't hurt is, how his Irishness shines thru in the way he just does not give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. He'll take the piss out of anyone.
Caught my attention when he rated Lamar as QB#16 coming off Lamar's rookie season. One of the few analysts who "saw it" with Lamar before 2019. (Warren Sharp was another; and Waldman, of course. Solak.)
Yeah: I'm pretty well sold on Fahey. Idiosyncratic; but when he drops an evaluation, I listen.

Re: Rank your 16 starting AFC QBs
It’s funny for a while I thought Warren Sharp was Irish too but I was getting him mixed up with Sam Monson. Sharp fucking nailed it last year though. Really helped in the Lamar debates last offseason I spent a week just reposting that article instead of repeating my own points 😂
Honestly I don’t really care about their takes, listening to Irish dudes talk about football is awesome. If their takes are good that’s even better. Fahey seems legit, though there are a few times where, imo, he’s missed pretty big. But that’s kind of a plus in and of itself, it shows like you said that he is just in no way beholden to consensus or hive mentality. He says what he thinks and he swings for the fences, by and large.

Re: Rank your 16 starting AFC QBs
Patty Mahomes
Lamar Jackson
DeShaun Watson
Big Ben
Ryan Tannehill
Josh Allen
Baker Mayfield
Sam Darnold
Philip Rivers
Drew Lock
Derek Carr
Joe Burrow
Gardner Minshew
Tyrod Taylor
Jarrett Stidham
Ryan Fitzpatrick
As much as i want to put Lamar in the same tier as Mahomes.. Mahomes is on another level. Its like prime A-Rod the way he slings it. Pair that with andy reid's offense, it's going to be hard to battle them. But I do think Lamar is the only player who can reach that tier at the moment.

Re: Rank your 16 starting AFC QBs
1. Mahomes
2. Lamar
3. Roethlisberger
4. Watson
5. Rivers
6. Tannehill
7. Fitzpatrick
8. Carr
9. Allen
10. Mayfield
11. Darnold
12. Lock
13. Minshew
14. Tyrod
NA - Burrow, Stidham - I want to see how they look first but if Burrow looks like he did last year he's probably 5th.
I put Roethlisberger above Watson because I think Watson's streaky. He can look terrible at times and he hasn't progressed enough at going through progressions or inviting sacks. Houston might ruin him.
Rivers at 5 is the biggest gamble - he looked bad last year but he's got an O line now. Maybe he's still got it, maybe not.
Fitzpatrick at 7 is rich but based on last year he was only behind Mahomes, Lamar, Tannehill and maybe Watson in terms of performance but he's probably due one of his bad years.
