All Eyes Are on the QBs in the NFC East

Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott played all but one game last season after a gruesome ankle injury the season before. He threw for a career-high 37 touchdowns. He's the cream of the crop in this division. If the Cowboys can just take care of business week-in and week-out, they should win the NFC East.
New York Giants
I'm a huge Brian Daboll fan. He had great success with Josh Allen in Buffalo, and that's one of the reasons Daboll got this head coaching job. The Giants are trying to find a way to get Daniel Jones back up on the horse. He's struggled with his confidence as he went through different play callers. Jones has some physical tools, but his decision-making has held him back. Jones is 12-25 as a starter, and this is really his last chance with the Giants. Daboll brings some stability and hired a great coaching staff, but they need to fix the quarterback room and that starts with Jones.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles will tell you that they're "all in," with Jalen Hurts, but right now Hurts is a better runner than a passer. This team made the playoffs last year because Head Coach Nick Sirianni realized they were better off being a physical, running team than putting the ball in Hurts' hands 35 times a game. They have to determine whether or not he's their franchise quarterback, and they've been stockpiling draft picks in case he's not. This is an important third season for Hurts.
Washington Commanders
My big question is: How much better is Carson Wentz than Tyler Heinicke? I just don't know if that's such a huge upgrade at that position. They're good enough in other areas. This team has improved in both free agency and the drafts, but there's a good reason the Indianapolis Colts moved on from Wentz after only one season. Wentz was a huge disappointment in big games last season. The Colts lost their last two games and, shortly after, made the decision to move on from Wentz. I think that speaks volumes about where Wentz is in his career.
