The conclusion of the 2018 NFL regular season is right around the corner, and some teams are vying for their spot in the playoffs. While some teams have had seasons that few could have predicted, others turned in performances that were embarrassing. The teams that make the playoffs all have chances to make a run for the Super Bowl, while the others will have to wait for the NFL Draft to do anything of note. Needless to say, this is the part of the season that many people enjoy most, and fans are in for a wild ride from here on out.
One of the things a number of teams will need to address after this season is the quarterback position. Making any sort of strides as a team requires a competent man under center, and the teams that are lacking a true franchise quarterback are going to dwell at the bottom for the foreseeable future. The NFL Draft and free agency can be a great way to fix this, but nothing is guaranteed in the sport of football.
Today, we are going to let people be the GM of their very own NFL team and have them rank these NFL quarterbacks!
Rate Kirk Cousins
Kirk Cousins began his journey with the Washington Redskins putting up numbers that filled stat sheets and left many people wondering why the Redskins weren’t willing to give him a large contract to lead them to prosperity in the future. The Minnesota Vikings were more than happy to give Cousins a gigantic contract after his stint with the Redskins, and they are hoping that he is going to be the man to lead them to the Super Bowl and take home a victory for their fans that have been waiting for success.

Rate Alex Smith
As sad as it may seem, there is a possibility that Alex Smith has played his last down in the NFL. He began the first part of his journey with the San Francisco 49ers before making his way to Kansas City and finding an incredible amount of success under head coach Andy Reid. Smith made is way to the Washington Redskins before the start of the 2018 season, and he was having himself a decent year before going down with some health issues recently that left him hospitalized for a few weeks.

Rate Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold came into the NFL during the 2018 NFL Draft with high expectations, and the fact that he was able to slip to the New York Jets left many people thinking that the Cleveland Browns had made a huge mistake by taking Baker Mayfield first.

Rate Blaine Gabbert
After being taken by the Jacksonville Jaguars to begin his journey in the NFL, Blaine Gabbert has bounced around a little bit in more recent years.

Rate Blake Bortles
At this point, it is safe to say that the Blake Bortles era in Jacksonville is over, and the franchise appears poised to move on from the signal callers now that he has had ample time to show himself to be a legitimate franchise quarterback in the NFL.

Rate Nick Mullens
Not many players coming to the NFL get the chance to play any snaps during the regular season when they are sitting at the third position on the depth chart, but a series of health issues for the San Francisco 49ers thrust this man into the starting lineup, and what he was able to do against the Oakland Raiders in the first start of his young NFL journey is something that no one could have predicted.

Rate Drew Brees
Drew Brees is easily one of the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL, and at this point in his run, he is simply looking to tack on a couple more awards and perhaps one more Super Bowl victory before he decides to hang up his cleats for good.

Rate Mitch Trubisky
After a disappointing rookie campaign that left many people wondering whether or not the Chicago Bears made the right decision, Mitchell Trubisky has had himself an amazing 2018 campaign that has fans of the Chicago Bears licking their chops for what he will be able to do as he continues to progress in his NFL journey.

Rate Russell Wilson

Rate Nick Foles
Not unlike the ending of the 2017 season for the Philadelphia Eagles, Carson Wentz has gone down with some health issues and Nick Foles has been thrust back into the starting lineup for the team.

Rate Derek Anderson

Rate Dak Prescott
Dak Prescott has started an NFL journey that has seen him secure a number of huge wins for Dallas, but this has also raised a number of questions from people.

Rate Nathan Peterman

Rate C.J. Beathard
