Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith New York Giants: Daniel Jones Minnesota Vikings: Kirk Cousins Baltimore Ravens: Tyler Huntley. One stupid fumble away from winning in the playoffs. San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy None of these guys are world beaters. 49ers almost went all the way with a 3rd stringer. It's all about health and can you go on a run. We need to build the interior of this offensive line, grab Carr, and beef up at running back. Moves on the defensive side of the ball would be a nice cherry on top but I don't even think we have to if we can upgrade offensively. |
