#5) Geno Smith – Seattle Seahawks:

If I was choosing with my heart Geno Smith would have had an entire page dedicated to why he deserves the #1 spot, but we have to be fair. Smith made his debut as the Seahawks’ full-time starter and completely OUTCLASSED Russell Wilson when it mattered most.

Geno Smith started by putting up 2 touchdowns in the first half and distributed the ball excellently, completing 82% of his passes. Gamer, warrior, killer.

When the odds were stacked against him most immensely, Smith shocked the world.

“They wrote me off I ain’t write back though!” – Geno Smith.

#4)  Kirk Cousins – Minnesota Vikings:

The Kirk Cousins disrespect got out of hand and the Vikings QB had to remind everyone he ain’t no chump. Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook, and a new offensive mind have Cousins looking as sharp as ever.

277 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, and 72% completion in a near flawless game by Kirk Cousins, and I think the Vikings only get better from here.

Is Kirk for real this time? or will he fold when the lights are brightest?

#3) Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers:

What more is there to say? Justin Herbert is an animal unleashed on the football field. 279 yards passing, 3 touchdowns, no picks, 77% completion, 129.4 passer rating, and the best part of it all?

The stats look even better on film. The layers to Herbert’s throws should be put up in a museum, it’s truly one of the prettiest, most accurate, and deadly footballs thrown in the NFL. In my opinion, Justin Herbert has left his draft class in the dust, it’s time for the talent to start paying dividends in the postseason.
