Just like that, another NFL season is in the books and we are already sitting around Sunday mornings with nothing to do wishing we could just hit rewind and go back to September. First and foremost, shoutout to the Kansas City Chiefs on winning the Lombardi Trophy. If you are one of the fools who complain that the NFL is rigged, well then, I feel sorry for you. It was a great game played by both sides and fortunately there are rules in the NFL and anyone who actually watches the sport will tell you it that was an obvious hold at the end. But let\u2019s be honest, if you aren\u2019t an Eagles fan or Chiefs fan, did you really care about the outcome of the game? Sure, there is the sports betting aspect behind it, but if you listened to the Dollaboys from the start did you ever really sweat it out? We even doubled down at halftime on the Chiefs with a fat +290 moneyline, thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright enough of the 2022 season talk, the Dollaboys are already looking ahead and are in the 2023 mindset and it starts with QB\u2019s. Arguably the most important position in sports, it is absolutely vital for NFL teams to have a strong, impactful leader under center. Shockingly, a lot of teams struggle to find the right guy however. Only about 1\/3 of the league can confidently believe they got their guy moving forward. With the rest of the league in limbo at the position, it\u2019s likely we will see drastic changes across the league and a lot of QB\u2019s on the move this off-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will go over the QB situation for all 32-teams, including best fits, likely starters, and potential rookies that could flip a team around. Let\u2019s get it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFC East<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> \u2013 Obviously after their latest Super Bowl run, it is pretty clear the city of Philly knows who their guy is for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Jalen Hurts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Jacoby Brissett, Ian Book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dallas Cowboys<\/strong> \u2013 I know most Cowboys fans never want to see Dak play another game for them after his mishaps down the line in the playoffs, but the reality is Dallas just gave Dak a $95-million contract that has the QB locked in for at least two more years. Even if the Cowboys tried trading Dak, who is willing to take on that contract\/ cap hit? Likely, no one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Dak Prescott<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Cooper Rush, Will Grier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Giants<\/strong> \u2013 This decision seems pretty much self-explanatory after Danny Dimes played his heart out this past year, earning the Giants their first playoff appearance in over 10 years. Not to mention he added an away playoff victory to his resume and did it all with a lacking receiving core. However, it\u2019s been a shaky start to contract discussions. If the Giants want to be able to re-sign Saquon Barkley as well as a big name WR, they might be forced to look away from Daniel Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Daniel Jones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Potential Fits: Lamar Jackson, Justin Fields<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Commanders<\/strong> \u2013 Call us crazy, but the Commanders might have found something special in the young quick gunslinger from UNC. He looked flawless in his first career start Week 19 and will hopefully keep progressing to claim the starting job next season. Although, don\u2019t be surprised if Washington decides to bring in some veteran help to give Howell some extra competition. I can see Washington drawing the likes of guys such as Ryan Tannehill, Baker Mayfield, or even Teddy Bridgewater to bulk up the QB room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Sam Howell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Taylor Heinicke, Teddy Bridgewater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFC North<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota Vikings<\/strong> \u2013 With one more year left on Kirk Cousins contract, it seems the Vikings are content with giving him one more shot at it. However, Minnesota has to start thinking about the future soon. They could be in the market to find a QB in the draft, or bring in some young talent to light some fire under Kirk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Kirk Cousins <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Nick Mullins, Clayton Tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Bay Packers<\/strong> \u2013 Ah the Aaron Rodgers era seems to finally be in the closing stages as Rodgers goes away on a darkness retreat to ultimately decide where he wants to play next season. With all the Packers have invested in Jordan Love, it would only make sense to give him a full shot at it to see what he can do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Jordan Love <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Andy Dalton<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detroit Lions<\/strong> \u2013 Goff doesn\u2019t necessarily jump off the page at you when you are thinking about elite QB\u2019s in the league but the guy stays healthy and keeps his team in games. Quite frankly, the Lions just aren\u2019t in a position to switch up at the QB position right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Jared Goff<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Nate Sudfeld, Max Duggan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago Bears<\/strong> \u2013 The Bears own the first overall pick in this year\u2019s draft and there has been a lot of talk about them trading and moving on from Justin Fields for a more young, controllable asset. Not only would the Bears be hitting the reset button, but they also have the chance to get back a big haul in return for Fields to really turn the franchise around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Bryce Young<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Trevor Siemian, Nathan Peterman<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFC South<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me just say, I think this is the first time I\u2019ve ever seen a whole division in need of a QB. The NFC South will be one of the most interesting division to follow next season, and ironically the most frustrating to bet…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s no hiding from it, the Bucs are heading for a rebuild. It was expected once Tom Brady retired but at least they have a Championship to show for it. With rumors of Mike Evans being on the trade block, it\u2019s only a matter of time before they blow the whole thing up and start fresh. The Bucs are looking for a bridge QB, aka, a backup QB looking for a shot at a starting job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Gardiner Minshew<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Kyle Trask, Blaine Gabbert<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolina Panthers<\/strong> \u2013 Carolina owns the 9th<\/sup> overall pick in the draft this year and could very well use it to try to find their next franchise QB. However, Sam Darnold did end last season strong and showed some potential. It may not be the guy Panthers fans want to see but he at least earned a new contract and a shot at starting next season. Unfortunately for Darnold, he would be just a fill in until something better comes around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Sam Darnold<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Will Levis, Matt Coral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Orleans Saints<\/strong> \u2013 The Saints have been in a weird spot ever since Drew Brees retired. They have talented skill players but can never put it all together due to a lacking effort at QB. With their star RB Kamara set to receive a suspension and top wideout Michael Thomas on the decline we could be in for a super down year in the Bayou. I don\u2019t leave them completely out of the running for some of the QBs in free agency, but with the cap expanding after next season, it\u2019s likely they will hold off until then to make a big move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Jameis Winston<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Taysom Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta Falcons<\/strong> \u2013 It was yet another disappointing season for Atlanta, but the Falcons always seemed to keep games close last season and never gave up fighting. That alone should give Desmond a chance to progress next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Desmond Ridder <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Marcus Mariota<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFC West<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco 49ers<\/strong> \u2013 I was totally ready to write Tom Brady\u2019s name here up until he announced his retirement, the fit would have been perfect. Brady gets to play for his childhood team growing up, and the 49ers get a year to decide what to do with both Brock Purdy and Trey Lance as they get mentored by the Goat. I think if both were healthy, it would be a rather easy decision to go with Purdy, but with him likely out for the entire 2023 season due to his elbow injury, it may force San Fran to go with the guy they invested so much draft capitol in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Trey Lance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Brock Purdy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> \u2013 After winning CPOY and shutting up all the critics from last year, Geno has earned himself a new contract and possibly found a new home for the time being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Geno Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Drew Lock, Anthony Richardson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles Rams<\/strong> \u2013 After winning the Super Bowl in 2021, the Rams dealt with the injury bug last season. I believe Stafford will be ready to go by the start of next season, however, that doesn\u2019t mean the Rams aren\u2019t going to bring in extra help behind Stafford. After the sharp play from Baker Mayfield towards the end of the season, it\u2019s likely they could re-sign him to keep around just in case if Stafford can\u2019t go or gets hurts again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Matthew Stafford <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Baker Mayfield, John Wolford, Bryce Perkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arizona Cardinals<\/strong> \u2013 I am sorry Cardinals fans, but you\u2019re stuck with Kyler for at least another year. 2029 is actually the next time Kyler can become an unrestricted free agent, so they better hope he can turn it around with a new coach in the desert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Kyler Murray<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Colt McCoy, Trace McSorley, David Blough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFC East<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buffalo Bills<\/strong> \u2013 Not even going to dive too much into this one. The Bills are one of the few teams that has their franchise QB locked up for the foreseeable future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Josh Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Case Keenum, Matt Barkley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New England Patriots<\/strong> \u2013 Although they will try to find an upgrade at the position this off-season, Mac will remain the guy in New England. I could see them being in the market for guys such as Jimmy G, Baker Mayfield, or Gardner Minshew however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Mac Jones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Bailey Zappe, Brian Hoyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami Dolphins<\/strong> \u2013 Barring any more concussion set-backs, Tua should still be the guy come opening weekend. Although his injury history does concern us and we think Miami will look for a strong back-up to have in place. Jimmy G would be a perfect fit in Miami and is already familiar with the offense from Mike McDaniel\u2019s days in San Fran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Tua Tagovailoa  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Jimmy Garoppolo, Skylar Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Jets<\/strong> \u2013 There is no hiding of the fact the Jets are interested in a top veteran QB option, who are willing to spend and give up whatever it takes. The main issue however, is the timeline of free agency and the snowball effect of where other QB\u2019s available land. In order for the Jets or any team to get Aaron Rodgers for example, it\u2019s likely they will have to wait and see after free agency is over, which is a huge risk. The Jets could go out and get Derek Carr right now to avoid that risk factor but I have to believe the Jets are trying to make a real run at a Championship these next few years,and that all starts with Aaron Rodgers. NY already has young impressive talent on both sides of the field, the only missing piece now is a veteran QB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Aaron Rodgers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Zach Wilson, Mike White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFC North<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong> \u2013 Here is another obvious one, nothing to see here. The Bengals are set for the next decade or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Joe Burrow<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Brandon Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleveland Browns<\/strong> \u2013 Not a surprise here either. As long as no more sexual accusations pop up this summer, Watson will be looking to play his first full season since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Deshaun Watson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Kellen Mond, Dorian Thompson-Robinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> \u2013 Have to believe Pittsburgh will give the kid another shot after an average rookie campaign. Don\u2019t be surprised if the Steelers look to bring in some extra competition though, those fans don\u2019t like to wait too long for QB\u2019s to develop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Kenny Pickett<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Mitch Trubisky<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> \u2013 The Lamar situation hit its peak late last season when he essentially chose to sit out and not give his team a chance in the playoffs. Lamar sat out due to contract disputes and the fear of getting hurt while not being signed to a long-term deal, understandable. However, it has left a sour taste in the mouth of people in Baltimore and most believe his days in purple and black are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Justin Fields<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Tyler Huntley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFC South<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong> \u2013 A year ago I would have said let\u2019s wait and see, but Trevor Lawrence took a massive step forward in his second year and is showing nothing but signs of progression from here on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Trevor Lawrence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: CJ Beathard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tennessee Titans <\/strong>\u2013 Ryan Tannehill\u2019s name has been thrown around when talking about potential QB\u2019s on the move this off-season, but the reality is, he is entering his final year of a deal and a team would still need to trade for him. I don\u2019t see the trade market being too high for a guy like Tannehill so I think it\u2019s likely he stays put and is the starter week one next season. Second year QB Malik Willis would really have to turn heads this summer to even have a chance of starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Ryan Tannehill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Malik Willis, Joshua Dobbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indianapolis Colts<\/strong> \u2013 With the 4th<\/sup> overall pick this spring, it\u2019s likely the Colts could find their next signal caller through the draft. However, I don\u2019t think it is crazy to believe they take a shot at getting an Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, or Lamar Jackson type QB beforehand though. Indianapolis currently has a great run game and strong receiving core, a team some free agents could be interested in joining. To be able to sign a QB through free agency and use that 4th<\/sup> overall pick on a defensive stud or skill player might work out better in their favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Derek Carr<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Nick Foles, Sam Ehlinger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential Rookie QB: CJ Stroud, Will Levis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houston Texans<\/strong> \u2013 It will be interesting to see if the Texans use their 2nd<\/sup> overall pick as trade bait to get a QB like Lamar or Dak. However, I think it\u2019s more likely they use that pick to draft a QB. With Bryce Young likely going 1st<\/sup> overall, we then start talking about guys like CJ Stroud, Will Levis, and Anthony Richardson possibly being picked 2nd<\/sup> overall by the Texans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Davis Mills<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: CJ Stroud, Jeff Driskel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong> \u2013 No further comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Patrick Mahomes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Chad Henne<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denver Broncos<\/strong> \u2013 Bronco Country, Let\u2019s Ride… again! Honestly just throw last year out the window and take it out of your mind. Sean Peyton is now in Mile High and wouldn\u2019t have accepted the job if he didn\u2019t think he could fix Russ. Early prediction, Wilson wins CPOY next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Russell Wilson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Brett Rypien<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles Chargers<\/strong> \u2013 This is actually one division that has its shit together when it comes to QB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Justin Herbert<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Chase Daniel, Kyle Allen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las Vegas Raiders<\/strong> \u2013 The Derek Carr experiment is over in Vegas and it might be best for everyone. Carr is talented but clearly something just wasn\u2019t clicking. Now, the Raiders find themselves as a potential landing spot for Aaron Rodgers, mainly because of his history with star receiver Davante Adams. However, the Jets seem to be the better fit for Rodgers, forcing Vegas to go after the second biggest jackpot…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1 Starter: Lamar Jackson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other QB\u2019s on roster: Jarred Stidham <\/p>\n\n\n\n
