Predicting which NFL quarterbacks will exceed expectations and who will underperform during the 2024 season
CBSN
A look at who will thrive and who will fail next year
The NFL is a quarterback-driven league, which means more times than not, the success of the team is heavily dependent on how well your QB performs and how much consistency a team has at that position.
We see how well a poised quarterback can turn out when looking at the Kansas City Chiefs, who will be competitive for as long as Patrick Mahomes remains the starter. On the flip side, we see how a rotating door of quarterbacks, inconsistency and poor play from the offensive leader can plague a team. The New England Patriots went from an example of a quarterback defining their success, to quarterback(s) bringing down the franchise.
Of course, there are other factors that go into whether a team wins games or not, but the quarterback is the image of the team and is who usually gets much of the blame if things start spiraling.
