Top level talent is obviously required at this position to get to the playoffs, and this season really shows just how good the QB's are who are remaining.
Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff are not considerd top level talent, but they can game manage their teams to wins. Of the remaining QB's, you have the likely MVP of the league, Lamar Jackson, Mahomes and Allen need no introduction, and then you have some young talent at the position. Consider how well these QB's are playing:
Love and 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy are two of just five quarterbacks to throw for at least 30 touchdowns and 4,000 passing yards in their first seasons as a full-time NFL starting quarterback, joining Hall of Famer Kurt Warner (1999), Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (2018) and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (2020).
That is pretty rareified air.
And the season that Stroud is having:
Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, led the NFL in touchdown-to-interception ratio in the regular season (23-5). He also has the best touchdown-to-interception ratio (21-2, 10.5) against winning teams in NFL history (minimum 250 pass attempts), including playoffs.
J. Goff
B. Mayfield
P. Mahomes
J. Allen
L. Jackson
C.J. Stroud
J. Love
B. Purdy
I would bet that either Love or Purdy pass for the most yards today, and if I had to pick, I'll take Love to have the most passing yards this weekend.
