Quarterback felt like a natural place to begin this series. It’s infinitely important and also the NFC South’s claim to fame. For years upon years the South has been a quarterback powerhouse. It began when the Saints added Drew Brees as a free agent in 2006, continued when the Falcons selected Matt Ryan in 2008, and became arguably the best group in the league once the Panthers selected Cam Newton first overall in 2011. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had been the weak link, until they hit the lottery with Jameis Winston in 2015.
Absurd amounts of talent aside, the Southern quarterbacks are fun because they collectively offer you a little bit of everything in terms of style.
