The quarterback landscape in the NFC was shaken up on Tuesday. Nine-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos after 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.

So, naturally it's time to reevaluate the quarterback landscape in the NFC.

We took a look at where the quarterbacks in the AFC rank after Wilson went to Denver. Now, let's dive into where all the projected starting quarterbacks in the NFC, at the moment, rank overall.

*Please note we used all players currently under contract with their respective team

16. Kyle Trask— Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Trask is a rookie and the only quarterback in the conference without a single NFL pass, and that's due to backing up the recently retired Tom Brady. There's nothing to go on with Trask besides that he'll receive his shot to be the top signal-caller in Tampa in 2022.

15. Drew Lock— Seattle Seahawks

Lock was sent to Seattle as a part of the Wilson trade. After a productive college career at Missouri, Lock hasn't done much in the NFL with only 24 games played in three seasons due to multiple injuries. He has a whopping 25 touchdowns to 20 interceptions.

14. Taysom Hill— New Orleans Saints

Hill took over for Jameis Winston for seven games in 2021 after Winston suffered a torn ACL. Hill is a triple threat as a passer, runner, and receiver. However, with only 268 pass attempts in five seasons and never throwing for 1,000 yards, Hill can't be ranked anywhere else in my opinion.

13. Carson Wentz – Washington Commanders

Not even Frank Reich could fix Wentz. That's all you need to know. Good luck, Ron.

12. Sam Darnold— Carolina Panthers

Darnold came into the NFL with the New York Jets as the third overall pick in 2018. To say he's underachieved would be an understatement. He only has one season with over 3,000 passing yards and has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns over the last two seasons (spent 2021 with the Panthers).

11. Justin Fields — Chicago Bears

Fields started his rookie campaign in 2021 as the backup to veteran Andy Dalton before making 10 starts. He still has a lot of room to improve, but Fields has a lot of potential as a pocket passer and a quarterback that can extend plays with his legs.

10. Daniel Jones— New York Giants

Jones hasn't been what the Giants would have hoped when he was drafted in 2019 with the sixth overall pick. He hasn't thrown for more than 11 touchdowns since his rookie year and has 36 fumbles in three seasons. Tough scene.

9. Jalen Hurts— Philadelphia Eagles

Hurts is another dual-threat quarterback. He has a rocket arm but needs to be more accurate having only completed 59% of his passes in two seasons. Also, Hurts has to do a better job of protecting the football (had nine fumbles in 2021). Wilson reportedly denied a trade to the Eagles.

8. Jared Goff— Detroit Lions

Goff will never win an MVP or be considered an elite quarterback, but given time he can carve up a defense. Also, he has taken a team to the Super Bowl so if the Lions can build a team around him maybe they'll be able to compete soon. However, it's highly unlikely.

7. Jimmy Garoppolo— San Francisco 49ers

Garoppolo gets labeled as a middle-of-the-road quarterback but he's compiled a 4-2 playoff record as a starter and made a Super Bowl appearance. With the right pieces around him, Garoppolo can help a team be competitive at a high level.

6. Matt Ryan— Atlanta Falcons

Ryan isn't quite the same guy that won an NFL MVP in 2016, anymore. However, he's still a pretty accurate quarterback with the capability of torching any defense with his 14 years of experience.

5. Kirk Cousins— Minnesota Vikings

Cousins is another guy that won't be the first name mentioned when the best quarterbacks in the NFC are discussed. But, Cousins continues to be accurate every season (completed 66.9% of his passes since entering the NFL) and he has the moxie to lead his team to victory in big moments.

4. Kyler Murray—Arizona Cardinals

Murray is the epitome of a dual-threat with his big arm and incredible speed that allows him to destroy defenses with his legs. He can be a turnover machine at times (had 23 in 2021), but he can also be very accurate with his throws. He's somewhat of a conundrum, you could say.

3. Dak Prescott— Dallas Cowboys

The top-3 is where Wilson's departure really shakes things up. Prescott has had some bad luck with ankle, calf, and shoulder injuries over the last two seasons. However, when he's protected (which was an issue at times in 2021), Prescott can produce huge numbers. He had some accuracy issues at times last season, but he's a top-10 quarterback in the NFL and one any team would want if he was available.

2. Matthew Stafford— Los Angeles Rams

You could argue Wilson was No. 2 in the NFC before the trade took place. The knock on Stafford was that he couldn't get it done in the postseason, and given his 0-3 record as a starter before joining the Rams, it was understandable. 2021 was a different story as Stafford went 4-0 throwing nine touchdowns to just three interceptions and led the Rams to a comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. All the questions when it comes to Stafford have been answered, he can ball when it matters the most.

1. Aaron Rodgers— Green Bay Packers

Some think Wilson is the best quarterback in the NFC, so this was a no-brainer, especially with the retirement of the aforementioned Brady. Rodgers won his fourth MVP in 2021 (second consecutive) after 37 touchdowns to just four interceptions. He has five interceptions or less in each of the last three seasons and his elite arm talent and his ability to extend plays in the pocket with his legs make Rodgers a nightmare to defend. Not only is he the best quarterback in the NFC, but he's also arguably the top at his position in the entire NFL.
