The 2021 season of the NFL defines in its entirety a generational change in the quarterback position that can well be defined in three areas: the veterans, the young reality and the promises.

THOSE WHO ARE GOING OUT

Five players in particular live last seasons to reach a title Vince lombardi in their careers, since not all are Tom Brady and others will lose the position as the years go by: Matt ryan (36 years), Aaron Rodgers (37 years), Ryan fitzpatrick (38 years), Ben roethlisberger (39 years), Tom brady (44 years).

Of these veterans, only Ryan Fitzpatrick has not played a Super Bowl and only Rodgers, Roethlisberger and Brady know what it means to load the Vince Lombardi.

Nonetheless, Falcons, Packers, Washington, Steelers and Buccaneers they should be thinking about their replacements. As such, only Green Bay has a promising substitute in development in the hands of Jordan love, while the other sets require rejuvenation in this position.

YOUNG REALITY AND THOSE WHO SEEK TO REAFFIRM

Kyler murray (24 years), Lamar jackson (24 years),

Josh Allen (25 years old) and Patrick Mahomes (25 years old) are players who have been in the league for more than two seasons and despite their age, they have proven with their actions that they are the successors who are beginning their prime time.

Mahomes, Chiefs QB, is the only one who has played a pair of Super Bowls among this class of four quarterbacks, while in the case of Murray, Jackson and Allen they generate great expectations, because beyond winning or not Vince Lombardi, the expectations are on them to get to the big game in February.

THE PROMISES

The generation of quarterbacks in the 2021 Draft is one of the most talented in recent years. In addition, three of the five promises in this position, who were selected from the top 15 players, will already be starters in their respective teams.

Trevor lawrence (21 years), Zach Wilson (22 years old) and Mac Jones (23 years old) will receive the opportunity to show their talent with Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets and New England Patriots, three franchises in full reconstruction in the quarterback position.

Regarding the situation of Trey Lance (21 years old) and Justin fields (22 years old) just hope that Jimmy Garoppolo or Andy dalton fail with San Francisco 49rs and Chicago Bears to seize ownership.

This is how it paints the road towards Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles, with a very limited generational change and to show this, among Tom Brady, the oldest and last winner of the Vince Lombardi, is twice the age of Trevor Lawrence, the first selection of the past Draft, who had not yet born while the # 12 of the Buccaneers already had his first title of NFL.
