The Gipper Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Also, now, think about the QBs who are now part of the Final 8 teams. Most of the old guard got booted. No Peyton, of course, now no Brady, no BR, Brees out. We have Ryan Tannehill Lamar Jackson Patrick Mahomes DeShaun Watson Fairly all new blood in the AFC. The NFC still has some tried and true and some fresh meat: Aaron Rodgers Russell Wilson Kirk Cousins Jimmy Garrapolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
