Bills quarterback Josh Allen is might be the best quarterback in the AFC East, but overall in NFL.com‘s divisional rankings, the grouping doesn’t hold very much weight.
In the rankings, the AFC East only edges on one other in their rankings, surprisingly the NFC East.
Here’s the breakdown via Adam Schien:
Ahead of the NFC East? Yep. Actually, I considered pushing this group even higher up the board. And I would’ve, if I knew Tua would start Week 1. If he’s healthy, he should play right away: He has the skills to be an instant star. Regular readers know how high I am on Allen, who significantly improved in Year 2. I already listed the Bills QB as my leading dark-horse MVP candidate in 2020. I still think Darnold has star potential, too. After the first half of his 2019 campaign was upended by mono, the Jets’ field general started to flourish down the stretch, with a 13:4 TD-to-INT ratio over his final eight games. While nobody really knows what to think about Stidham, I think an expecation of sound-and-solid play is fair.
In the NFC East, by comparison, you have Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones, Carson Wentz and Dwayne Haskins. Both sets of QBs have a lot of uncertainties attached to them, aside from Prescott.
The rankings also hold the easy favorite as the best QB division in football, the NFC South. It’s hard to argue Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, even with the unproven Teddy Bridgewater in there.
