It was strange there for a good 5-7 years where the now older guys were exiting their prime and/or retiring and the NFL couldnt find new franchise QBs.
that always happens, the greats of the 70s either retired (Tarkenton, Staubach, Griese) Stabler was traded for Dan Pastorini who got benched for a bust of a former #1 pick) or fell off (Bradshaw). Montana came along in 81 but wasn't really until the 83 class, Marino, Elway and eventually Kelly that the next generation took off.
Same thing in the 90s when those guys started to get old, outside of Favre there was clear next gen QB class until Manning and Brady, then Roethlisberber, Brees, Rodgers in the mid to late 00's.

The change in rules has done more to help these young QB's than anything else
Who knows what Brees career would have turned out had he stayed in San Diego or even in Miami Saban was not going to run a Sean Payton offense
It was a perfect match for Brees
Brady probably would have worked out under any circumstance you put him in but him taking discounts with the Pats allowed them to work the cap to their advantage. He would not have been able to do that elsewhere.
