Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott
The NFC East ought to return all 4 quarterbacks who completed the 2019 season as their crew’s starter. Nonetheless, the backup spot in every location has modified.
From Washington’s pursuit of a QB to push Dwayne Haskins to the Eagles’ weird draft, there was a shakeup behind the starters on every crew. Let’s study the top-10 QBs within the division after an offseason of motion:
1) Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Whereas the Cowboys missed the playoffs in 2019, they watched Prescott take one other step ahead, throwing for a career-high 4902 yards final season whereas tossing 30 touchdowns. He’s the highest QB of the division, assuming he doesn’t someway discover his manner onto one other crew earlier than the 2020 NFL season.
2) Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles
Loads of Philadelphians have gone back-and-forth on whether or not they consider the crew ought to have stored Nick Foles as an alternative of Wentz after the Eagles made historical past and gained the Tremendous Bowl. Foles hasn’t been nice since leaving Philly and Wentz hasn’t been sensational.
The drafting of Jalen Hurts makes the state of affairs much more attention-grabbing. But, Wentz has proven sufficient to finest Hurts and most QBs within the division.
3) Andy Dalton, Dallas Cowboys
Let’s not get carried away with the Cowboys’ determination to signal Andy Dalton. Sure, he’s
Dallas has a historical past of creating certain an appropriate backup is on deck, although Dalton is arguably their finest backup QB for the reason that unknown Tony Romo was on the bench (I’m excluding Prescott, as he began his whole rookie season after taking up for Romo in the course of the preseason).
Dalton was anticipated to play elsewhere, as Professional Soccer Motion particulars. In the end, the possibility to maneuver to his residence state was a driving think about his determination to signal with Dallas.
4) Daniel Jones, New York Giants
Jones was thought-about a attain at No. 6 within the 2019 NFL Draft and he had his ups-and-downs throughout his rookie season. Professional Soccer Focus had Jones because the 24th finest QB final 12 months. Solely 12 QBs threw extra touchdowns than Jones, although turnovers had been main ache factors, together with the 10 occasions he fumbled the ball, which is an absurd stat line.
5) Dwayne Haskins, Washington Redskins

Haskins is in some methods, was the other of Jones. He doesn’t possess the excessive ceiling, although he doesn’t flip the ball over. The previous Ohio State QB is extra Alex Smith than Jameis Winston, as he protects the ball. A few of his turnovers weren’t his fault, as he had just a few interceptions final seasons that hit the palms of his receivers earlier than touchdown within the oppositions’.
6) Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
I wished to position Hurts as a excessive as 4 and I’ll look again on this put up and remorse not doing so. Hurts has the expertise to be a franchise quarterback, although his path is blocked in Philadelphia with Carson Wentz within the fold. He’ll finally get a beginning gig, whether or not its in South Philly or elsewhere.
7) Kyle Allen, Washington Redskins
The crew dealt away their fifth-round (the No. 2 general choose of the spherical) in a commerce to land Allen from the Panthers. Allen can be reunited along with his former head coach Ron Rivera, who’s coming into his first season in Washington. Allen began 12 video games for Carolina final season, tossing 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions throughout his second season within the league.
8) Colt McCoy, New York Giants
9) Cooper Rush, New York Giants
Grouping these two collectively, as they are going to compete for the backup spot behind Daniel Jones. McCoy has proven he’s a backup degree QB and can provide groups a begin or two if wanted.
Rush, who’s 26-years-old, was the backup in Dallas over the previous three seasons and he’s now reunited with Jason Garrett, who was his coach in Large D. The Giants have 5 QBs on the roster, although it’s unlikely that Alex Tanney and Case Cookus make the ultimate depth chart.
10) Nate Sudfeld, Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles introduced again Sudfeld on a one-year deal and the place he suits on the depth chart can be a topic of curiosity in the course of the offseason. The 26-year-old has accomplished 20 of 25 passes for 156 yards throughout his three appearances with the Eagles.
