I'm not a stats guy, but my guess is that Hopkins is personally responsible for 40% of Wishkins' QBR.
Besides being very selective in my choice of peyote button dealers, if I've learned one thing in my life it's looking for the Larry Bird Clutch Gene in a QB. If your guy has that, you're in better shape.
With that in mind, there's really only one current QB I'd take if I couldn't have Mahomes and it's Russell Wilson. You can keep your Cams and your Jacksons and your Vicks ... give me the guy who can get you the 2-minute drive TD when you absolutely need it.
We Chiefs fans are very fortunate in that respect.

Yep, it's Wilson and Mahomes. Rest of the league is overpaying for their QB's when they give them top dollar. We're gonna see it with the likes of Prescott, Watson, Jackson, and others. We've already seen it with Stafford, Cousins, Carr, Jimmy G, etc.
The other legitimately great QB's are all old. That includes Rodgers, who has really showed signs of aging the last couple years. The others are flat-out ancient (Brady/Brees).
