Rank the QBs in the NFC game

[Megatron96]

For anyone that wants to play. Just rank the QBs in the NFC based on whether you think they can get their team to the 2024-25 NFCCG.


The QBS are, in no particular order:


Dak Prescott
Daniel Jones
Jalen Hurts
Jared Goff
Jordan Love
Kirk Cousins
Bryce Young
Derek Carr
Baker Mayfield
Kyler Murray
Matt Stafford
Brock Purdy
Geno Smith

(WAS/CHI/MIN currently do not have a QB1)

Just to start things off, I'll go first.


Stafford
Mayfield
Purdy
Goff
Hurts
Love
Cousins
Smith
Murray
Prescott
Carr
Jones
Young

Again, this isn't about stats. You can use stats to bolster your argument, but the question is, in order, which QBs do you think could lead their team to the NFCCG this coming season. Basically, if you had to pick which you would trust the most to get the job done.

I made my list based mostly on playoff performances. So while Baker doesn't have great regular season stats, his playoff performances have been better than every QB on the list except for Stafford and Purdy. But I put Baker ahead of Purdy because he's the more physically talented QB. Around the middle of my list, right around Cousins, is when I transitioned to just who I trusted more based on what I've seen from them in actual game situations. So while Murray is physically far more talented than Geno, I just trust Geno to be more reliable.


Anyway, let's see what you got.:thumb:

I don't think Purdy is on the same level as Goff or Love. The Shanahan system protects QBs a lot, and makes them look far more competent than they are. Look at the disaster Garappalo is when out of it.

I don't think Purdy is any worse than Goff. In my opinion, anyway. I could see Love being significantly better. Problem is the tiny sample size, for me anyway. But Purdy has simply been the better performer (to my eyes).

Brock Purdy - He's good and he's the QB for the 49ers who seem to be there every year.

Jared Goff - He's solid and on another NFC power team.

Jordan Love - Ascending player and team.

Matt Stafford - He's good, but team feels like it's on a slow descent, as is he.

Jalen Hurts - This team is strange, but last year may have been SB hangover. Could see them turning it back around.

Kirk Cousins - I like Cousins so tempted to put higher but woof his playoff history is rough.

Dak Prescott - Good player, solid team. But for whatever reason they simply do not post season.

Baker Mayfield - They are just a middle of the road team. Mayfield can get hot at times though so could pull off an upset or two.

Kyler Murray - Getting to the bottom now. He's shown the ability to be very good, but the Cardinals need a lot to gel.

Geno Smith - New regime and such, NFCCG seems pretty unlikely. I like Geno, but he's not a super star.

Derek Carr - Won't win the division this year. They'll probably just be a little worse than last year. Can't see them making it to Divisional round.

Bryce Young - He's terrible as are the Panthers and everything they touch.

Daniel Jones - Holy shit this guy. Please keep the Giants off of prime time this year for the LOVE OF GOD!!!!

Love should be first on this list for many years to come.

The other players already had their best days.

I have had similar thoughts about Hurts. His time in PHI may come to an ugly end. Especially if AJ Brown leaves in the next season or two.

I just haven’t seen enough development in his passing game. We saw the effect his diminished rushing had last season and I expect the days of 800 yards or even close rushing are gone for him, making him average at best and definitely not worth the contract. But ultimately it might be injury that does him in.

To be fair both O and D coordinators for the Iggies last year were boiled ass.

Injury might shorten his career before anything else as much as he runs. But he's just a limited QB with large holes in his game regardless. We'll see if he can grow into a more complete QB, but at this point I'm just not optimistic that's going to happen.

Seeing this list it’s just crazy how much more difficult getting out of the AFC is than the NFC.

[St. Patty's Fire]

based on what i think they’ll do next year, rn it’s Love and everyone else for me. We’ll how Williams and any other NFC draft QBs do too

Yeah, seems like everyone is high on Jordan Love now, but I just can’t take that step yet. Guy has literally just 8 decent/good games to his credit in his entire career. And before second half of last season, he was on the verge of being a bust. I need to see at least a full season of quality football out of him before I put him in that high.

for me it’s more that his competition instills about as much faith in me as Christopher Hitchens

[Hayneplane]

It’s Purdy based on the question but that doesn’t mean he is the best NFC QB. Arguably it will be Jordan Love if he continues the trajectory from the back half of last season

3. J.J. McCarthy
4. Brock Purdy

also god bless a year when six QBs might go in the first round and we obviously ain't got a single one of 'em on our radar PBJ
