Current Starting Quarterback Power Rankings (2021)
The Eagles have made it clear that they want Jalen Hurts as their starting quarterback. They even let Nick Foles leave for the Jaguars and replaced Carson Wentz with Hurts after a poor season. A duel threat, it’s still unknown if he’ll be the starting quarterback for the Eagles in the long term.
While a star player at the collegiate level, it remains to be seen if Tagovailoa has what it takes for the NFL level. Even one of his former teammates, Jayden Waddle, drafted to give him more support, said they preferred playing with Mac Jones over him.
Bridgewater is playing as the team’s starting quarterback this season, replacing former rookie Drew Lock after a lackluster season. Whether or not Bridgewater will prove to be a superior choice remains to be seen.
With Ryan Fitzpatrick out of the game, Taylor Heinicke’s taken over as quarterback. He’s had a varied career and has been on several teams as a free agent, but he’s never left too much of an impression on whatever team he’s a part of.
Trevor Siemian’s also needed to step in for Jameis Winston. While he was on the Broncos when they won Super Bowl 50, he hasn’t done much else.
Cam Newton’s back on the Panthers after being dropped from the Patriots and has replaced Sam Darnold as the primary quarterback. He was starting to fall off a bit while playing in New England, so only time will tell if it was the team or him.
Initially, there were arguments over why Andy Dalton should be starting on the Bears over Justin Fields. Well, Justin Fields is back as the starting quarterback following Dalton was injured. Perhaps he’ll be able to earn back his starting position.
Wentz has been reunited with his former coach, Frank Reich. Hopefully he’ll be able to bring out the same skill that made him an MVP-player while still with the Eagles. He’s been having a rather poor past seasons, and was even benched in favor of Jalen Hurts. Hopefully he’ll be able to bounce back for this season.
Lawrence being selected in the first round of the draft cements the beginning of a new era for the Jaguars. While at Clemson, he showed a great deal of skill and athleticism. The jaguars needed some kind of shock to revitalize themselves, and Lawrence might be just that.
