The Young Guns: A Look at Quarterbacks Under 25

Brady and Brees cannot play forever. At some point, the current old guard will move on. Who is going to take their places?

Over this season, I plan on tracking every quarterback born in 1994 or later. The cutoff might seem arbitrary, but “25” is a pretty good age to use as a boundary for players who are still maturing versus those who should have arrived already. I can’t convince myself that Blake Bortles (born in 1992) is an unknown quantity, and Marcus Mariota (who will be 26 by November) is just a little too long in the tooth.
