1. Lawrence
2. Herbert
3. Stroud
4. Love
5. Purdy
6. Hurts
I think Lawrence is going to have a bounce back season like he had in 2022. He wasn’t even terrible in 2023, either, but he had no time to throw so the downfield passing game evaporated and defenses just started playing them as if they were in the red zone.
I struggled with Herbert/Stroud. Herbert hasn’t won a playoff game and was behind one of the bigger choke jobs in NFL history. Stroud won a playoff game but he’s only been in the league one year.
I slotted Love over Purdy and Hurts because I don’t think the latter two are beating Dallas in the postseason with the roster Love had. I think Purdy and Hurts benefit greatly from absolutely stacked rosters. With Hurts, we saw last year that he’s pretty average with even a few key injuries.
