More QB Talent In 6.1a?

[Ben E Lou]

Is this just an anomaly of my 6.1a-started career, or did something happen (intentionally or uninentionally) to increase QB talent?

This is a LOT more talent than I've ever seen, and this career was run with injuries at 250--where one would assume that because of more injuries, some of the top QBs would lose ratings points. Now, it's fully possible that this is just one of those "cycles" that I've seen happen, and nothing is going on here. I'm inclined to think that way since I don't see anything terribly unusual in other positions, and in fact the ILBs in this universe are pretty bad:

That being said, that QB talent is WAY above anything I've ever seen, so it makes me curious. For those who started new careers in 6.1a, what are you seeing after 15-20 years or so? If, as I suspect, there isn'a large pool to work from here, maybe some of you One N Done people could sim forward another 5-10 years and check the league QB talent.

I've probably answered my own question, by simming forward two careers. I realized that I'd already started a 6.1a test league on my desktop, and I had the OneNDone on the laptop. Now in 2025, the desktop league has only 14 (versus the 24 above) QBs that are rated 55 or higher. The laptop league has 12. So, this is probably just a random, way-outlying fluctuation.

Weird as I was recently thinking just the opposite. Here is the QB list from my league:

Only 2 QBs ranked over 70

When the NAFL started (2K4), it seemed like there were more QB's rated in the 80's and 90's. When 2K7 came out and since then, it seems harder to find QB's that high.

More QB's are rated, as you note below, in the 60's. IIRC, our league mirrors what PieMasterUK is showing below, but when we initially started it the talent pool looked like Skydogs first inserted picture.

Same league, 9 years later. Looks like the above was just an anomaly...
