    Mike Glennon is clearly the best franchise QB in the league..

    Yea, probably so. I agree. Just saying it could change with time.

    Rodgers was not seen as a franchise QB until about 2009 or 2010. Brees was not seen as a franchise QB until about 2008 or 2009. It takes time for some guys.

    But yes, I don't believe Dalton and Kaep will ever be elite... and that means I admit to being wrong about Kaepernick. Because the dude absolutely blew me away when he took over for Alex Smith and helped get the Niners to the Super Bowl. He's underwhelmed since then.

    He's a tough one to rank because if he goes 12-37 145 yards and 4 picks are you suprised? Or if he goes 31-37 445 yards and 4 touchdowns are you suprised. He isn't consistent but he wins big games he's a hard call

    Agreed.

    As for Manning, it's not like skill disappeared, that team is awful. He might be one of those guys who benefits from a change of scenery.

    It is simple; the "franchise" is the team, so for the Titans to have a "franchise QB" we just need a QB we do not need to replace.
    That is all, a QB you do not need to upgrade, replace, or complain about having lead the team.

    Kaep sucks...A franchise QB is ANYONE with opposite skills of Jake Locker...Not injured often, can read a defense, can check down, can accurately hit a WR from 10 yards and beyond, can count on them consistently every Sunday! Lol

    Years ago? Lol Hasn't been that long.

    But I also remember you trying to say that Jake is better than Kaep, so you were way more wrong.

    It was like almost a decade ago...

    And also if baked stayed healthy I firmly believe he'd be better but he can't so I guess that ends that
