The start of the NFL’s 2020 regular season is still a few weeks away and without a preseason, there isn’t much for fans to talk about other than training camp practice highlights.
Sometimes we rely on player comparisons to fill the void. But who says we have to restrict our comparisons to a single sport, or even the same genre?
Writer Maliik Obee, better known as @NFLMaliik on Twitter, compared every current starting quarterback to a different hip-hop artist. Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan was described as rapper Freddie Gibbs:
Doesn't say too much in regards to the public but his body of work is hall-of-fame worthy without a doubt. pic.twitter.com/cXAK0EbcgI

There’s some other really interesting comparisons that Falcons fans will enjoy, especially this savagely accurate description Saints QB Taysom Hill.
Big split on those who love him & those who hate him. Very talented without a doubt, but we are still trying to figure out exactly who he is after years in the game. pic.twitter.com/BOZN9TCyfA

Has made a great impact on the game early in his career. pic.twitter.com/5VqCbfEAji

Do-it-all guy that has carried the team on his back. Versatile. pic.twitter.com/U9j4pqlTIa

Talented yet overrated. The people responsible for his success are behind the scenes pic.twitter.com/iiSAS0aNQA

Had a great coming out party with his major debut in 2019. The future is very bright. pic.twitter.com/xMGbs7sIue

Very small sample size but we like what we see so far. pic.twitter.com/7wZmzwMbnU

The people love him. Does things on his terms, doesn't conform or switch his style up for any situation. pic.twitter.com/pF3mYTzO34

The ladies love him but this guy is questionable when everything is dependent on him. pic.twitter.com/sXn0dudc0k

People have wanted this guy to fail but he’s been consistent greatness for years. Going down in the record books. Doesn’t mean he hasn’t regressed a tad in the last 2-3 years. pic.twitter.com/ttRjT008Fh

Was above average for a very long time but never considered Elite. Old now. pic.twitter.com/Y4BwwB4ARb

Has been around forever. Talented, yet never consistent. Does something every year to make us believe in him briefly until he lets us down again. pic.twitter.com/koCrcniHBk

Was elite in Mid-Late 2000's. Has been consistent over last decade when not bogged by legal troubles. Slimmed down and getting older but still has flashes of greatness pic.twitter.com/1IWDD5pc6s

Has been looked at as very good since he hit the scene. Overshadowed by another counterpart that won a championship. Many debate if he's very good or Elite right now pic.twitter.com/YpduLC54EG

Incredible hype coming in young. Made some strides early in his career but has had some inconsistencies. pic.twitter.com/N5NV6KfZcx

Super Talented but a loose cannon pic.twitter.com/Kj05g6pj2W

Last One
Not a Quarterback but
He's been around and consistent forever. Numbers don't lie he's a Hall of Famer ever. Not in anyone's personal Top-5 but consistency indicates he should be. pic.twitter.com/2SdMv7wmpu
