I don’t ever want to hear an NFL analyst make a prediction ever again.
In April, CBS Sports writer Cody Benjamin ranked the NFC West quarterbacks with Matthew Stafford at the top, then Kyler Murray, Trey Lance, and Drew Lock following Seattle’s trade of Russell Wilson out of the NFC.
In June, NFL.com’s Adam Schein ranked the NFC West as the third-best division, with Stafford, Murray, Lance, and one of Geno Smith or Lock as the Seahawks’ starter.
In July, the CardsWire blog posted their NFC West quarterback rankings as Matthew Stafford, Kyler Murray, Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance, Colt McCoy, Geno Smith, Drew Lock, and John Wolford.
