After three weeks of the NFL season and almost 10 quarters of extremely troublesome offensive play, it looks like everything is wrong with the New York Giants offense. 

It’s time to give Kirk Cousins some credit and less blame. He’s been able to consistently perform as an upper-echelon quarterback over the last couple of seasons despite getting pummeled every single week.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a master at releasing the ball at the last second yet still avoiding sacks.

New Washington Commanders starting quarterback Sam Howell put together a promising 2023 preseason, albeit with room for improvement.

The seventh-round draft pick in 2020 is now one of the NFL's best safeties, leading a formidable Washington defense.

Trevor Lawrence is primed to shine in 2023 after ending the 2022 campaign on a tear.

If Pickett and the Steelers offense want to make the jump, it will come down to him playing with more anticipation in the pocket. He clearly has a good rapport with his receivers, and now it’s about trusting that offensive line to give him the time he needs to make throws on schedule.

With so much change at the quarterback position this year, it's easy to forget about the players who will be hoping to build on their performances last year with the same team. And one of the most intriguing quarterbacks in that category is the Atlanta Falcons' second-year man, Desmond Ridder.

While the odds aren't great for a Day 3 quarterback to become a high-end starter, Sam Howell is in a unique situation to become something special for the Washington Commanders.
