Quarterback without a doubt is the most important position in the NFL, and undoubtedly there are some quarterbacks that are better than the others. Last week I looked at the best teams in each NFC Division so this week I'm going to start with the best quarterbacks in each NFC Division.
NFC North: Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers may have the most talent out of any quarterback in the NFL. I'm not saying he's the greatest, but he definitely is the most skilled. In a division of above average quarterbacks though, Aaron Rodgers stands out as the best. He constantly gets his team into good positions to win games and allows them to compete for a playoff spot when he's healthy. If Rodgers can get over his ego then he will be able to win more Superbowls and potentially be called the GOAT.
NFC East: Carson Wentz
The NFC East is the weakest division of QBs, but in this weak division Carson Wentz is the best of them. Carson Wentz is a stud, but he gets injured too often. However, he makes plays when he's in the game, and two seasons ago, the Eagles would not have made the playoffs and won the Superbowl without his superstar season in which he deserved MVP before injuring himself. He has a strong arm and is mobile, and in the future he will be one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
NFC West: Russell Wilson
This one wasn't even close; Russell Wilson is the best quarterback in the NFC West no question. He just resigned on that massive contract and he deserved every penny of it. Russell Wilson is the core of the Seahawks and is the sole reason why they have not had a losing season since he entered the league. He makes insane plays with his feet and arm and every single team in the league is scared of him. I expect the Seahawks to make the playoffs again because of Russell Wilson despite having a overall poor team.
NFC South: Drew Brees
I might be a little biased, but Drew Brees is the greatest quarterback of all time. I don't have time to explain why, but if you want to see why I explained it in one of my previous articles about the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Anyways, Drew Brees is always carrying the Saints on his back and now that he has weapons, he made them into a Superbowl contender every season. The Saints are making a push for the Lombardi this year, and Brees is the engine of the machine. Watch out NFL, Brees is the GOAT.
