2024 NFL Season: AFC, NFC Quarterback Shakeup

The 2024 NFL season places significant pressure on several AFC quarterbacks, with Patrick Mahomes aiming for a three-peat and C.J. Stroud attempting to meet Super Bowl expectations after a stellar rookie year. In the NFC, despite the decline in offensive star power in the South division, teams like the Atlanta Falcons have bolstered their roster by adding quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix, positioning themselves as division favorites. Despite Jordan Love's impressive 2023 season with the Packers, he was not listed among ESPN's top-10 quarterbacks for 2024. Additionally, quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Justin Herbert face challenges due to weakened supporting casts. The NFC's strongest teams include the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions, and a rejuvenated Los Angeles Rams, with Matthew Stafford rated as the top NFC quarterback by ESPN.
