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.
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. [Reply]

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). [Reply]
Stafford (not even that close)
Love (was easily playing as the best QB in the latter half of the season)
Cousins
Prescott
Hurts
Goff
Murray
Mayfield
Smith
Purdy
Carr
Jones
Young [Reply]
