The NFC West has a familiar face returning for the San Francisco 49ers. Sam Darnold will lead the Seattle Seahawks in 2025, following his best season as a professional in Minnesota under Kevin O’Connell. Kyler Murray, Brock Purdy, and Matthew Stafford all return as the signal callers for their respective teams.
Nick Shook of NFL.com ranked each division by the quality of the four starting quarterbacks for 2025. Shook used his own QB index from the end of the 2024 season to add context to each player’s reputation. The AFC West, with Patrick Mahomes, Geno Smith, Bo Nix, and Justin Herbert, takes the top spot on the list.
