NFC E QB's

[Tabascocat]

Something sank in my dreams last night that I did not really catch on too until now. We have 4 high profile and talented QB's in the NFC East. Vick, RG3, Eli and ours truly, Romo. What other division even comes close to that, if ever? We will now have to face them 6 times a season for awhile. I think once the boys are ready for the super bowl run, this kind of competition will build incredible resilience upon them and be battle tested.

Yes, RG3 has not done anything yet, but I think he will turn out to be a good one. Vick is athletic, not great but he sure gives us fits, and Eli is Eli, slow and steady. Looking forward to many more years in the cage with these guys, the NFC East is the epitome of football IMO. If any one of these teams were to be moved, it would not feel the same to me.

In terms of star power, no division comes close. In terms of actually great QBs, there are only two in our division. Vick sucks and RG3 nobody knows. The NFCS is right there with the east.

I wouldn't say Vick sucks; he seems to have our number as of late and has had pretty good statistical seasons. His problem is staying healthy and not having much of a line in front of him.

 

[StylisticS]

If Freeman has a season like he did in 2010, I think the NFC South has will be up there.

Every QB had our D's number. Rex look like Dan Marino against us.

 

[The30YardSlant]

At one point the AFC East had Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Doug Flutie, Drew Bledsoe and Vinny Testeverde at the same time. I'd argue that the current NFC South QB lineup is more impressive than the NFC East.

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

Depending on how RGIII does the beast is head and shoulders above other divisions. Gotta look at the NFC north as well though.

 

[Tabascocat]

I never said 4 elite QB's, just high profile and talented. Each of the four are/will be media targets every week. I was not basing this off statistics, just the image they portray. And yes, that older AFC East had some big names in it too but Drew and Vinny were not big media targets as much as our current crop.

NFC South???? I'll give you Bress and Cam.

Josh Freeman and Mattie Ice have a lot to prove. You will have a hard time selling that one.

Back to the AFC East, Bledsoe, Vinny and Flutie!!!!!

Come on Man!!!!!

 

[Joshmil53]

NFCN/NFCS/NFCE all are up there IMO. NFCS only if Freeman has a season like e did in '10, and if Ponder does anything with his terrible supporting cast. RG3 we'll find out.

 

[Lonestar94]

AFC West might be the strongest QB division. Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer, Matt Cassel. You never know when Palmer and Cassel could return to their old form.

A severely injured Peyton Manning, a turnover machine in Rivers, an aging Carson Palmer and an ultra average QB in Cassel does not match the NFCE.

 

[muck4doo]

The AFC West of the first half of the 80's had some very good QB's. Elway, Fouts, Plunkett, Kreig, Zorn, and Blackledge were starters for their teams.

The fact that you'll give me Cam but not Ryan tells me all I need to know.

Well, 2 out of 5 is not too bad.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Well, 2 out of 5 is not too bad.

Drew Bledsoe was a borderline star in his prime and Doug Flutie and Vinny T were solid top 15 QBs at various points in their careers. I'd take all five of those guys in their primes over Vick.

Perfect example of giving Rivers a pass. He was horrible last year with 20 INT's and a fumbled snap on a kneel down that cost the team a potential playoff berth.

He has actually regressed but he never gets called out, not like Romo.

 

[Hoofbite]

I think the NFCN had Favre, Rodgers, Cutler and Stafford at one point.

SD isn't exactly a football town.

Besides, ESPN getting much better rating talking about Dallas than anyone else.
