By population, more eyes focus on the NFC East than any other division. Naturally, much of that attention on the quarterback.
If you’re a quarterback in the NFL, you should already feel accustomed to the intense scrutiny. Moreover. NFC East quarterbacks feel a different level of pressure. First, in the last thirty years, every team in the division owns at least a Super Bowl. By that metric, the strain of all of those eyes must weigh heavily on their collective minds. With that said, entering the 2022 season, who is the best?
Dak Prescott
Looking solely at regular-season stats, Prescott profiles as an elite quarterback. Blessed with a high completion percentage (66.6) and a stellar record (53-32), Prescott looks the part. Additionally, he mixes a bit of daring verticality and judicious decision-making. In the long line of Dallas quarterbacks, Prescott looks at home in that list. However, where it all falls apart is the playoff failures continue to plague in. With a disappointing 1-3 postseason mark, Prescott needs to start securing playoff wins. If not, the second-place divisional quarterback on this list could supplant him.
Jalen Hurts
This selection could ruffle folks in the District of Columbia. However, looking at the now, Hurts stacks up as the second-best quarterback in the NFC East. During his first full season as a starter, Hurts improved his completion percentage by nine points. Also, he posted a 3000-yard season. More importantly, the Eagles rebuilt the passing game. Adding A.J. Brown gives the Eagles’ offense the punch it lacked. For the most part, coaches preferred to throw out to backs instead of wideouts. Now, Hurts’ 7.1 career yards per attempt should immediately raises. Furthermore, throwing to a number-one wideout in Brown will also boost that confidence.

Carson Wentz
Carson Wentz remains an enigma at quarterback. In his return to the NFC East, Wentz should enter as a different player. However, by all indications, he remains the same. Run out of Philly on a rail, Wentz wore out his welcome in Indy. Jim Irsay publicly lamented Wentz’s one-year presence. Yet, the Commanders feel like they can fix whatever ails Wentz. On the field, Wentz displays a live arm and the mobility to shift the pocket. At the same time, a disconnect existed between the offenses and Wentz. Ron Rivera, a strong influence at head coach sees Wentz for what he flashes, not for what he consistently shows.

Daniel Jones
For Jones, let’s use the Vegas parallel. You’re at the tables, with time to spare and money burning a hole in your pocket. You fly home tomorrow, win or lose, with cash. So, why not gamble. This is Daniel Jones, in a nutshell. The Giants declined his fifth-year option. As a result, Jones really may not see the field as a Giant next year. While he’s weathered the travails of the NFC East, the Giants do not believe him. In 2021, the Giants sputtered offensively, posting a putrid 15.2 points per game. Brian Daboll, in his first season as head coach, is not tied to a quarterback that won’t be there next year. At this point, Jones is looking at building enough quality film to latch on elsewhere. As a result, the Giants will remain in the cellar of the NFC East.
Overview
The NFC East may lack overall talent, but the intrigue of the division remains high. Equally important, is the play of the four starting quarterbacks. Until Dak Prescott enjoys long-term success, the question of his overall divisional ranking feels valid. Hurts, at this point, looks like the only other quarterback with upside/value.
