Ranking the NFC East QBs 6 weeks into the 2024 campaign

Six weeks into the NFL season and the NFC East is already looking like it's going to come down to the wire again. While there are some surprises in this division thus far with the Washington Commanders sitting at 4-2 and in first place, it still seems like this division is still up for grabs.

Despite the NY Giants not being where they want to be six games into the regular season at 2-4, their season does not seem done just yet with the two other teams in front of them. With the Philadelphia Eagles at 3-2 and the Dallas Cowboys at 3-3, Big Blue just needs to figure out how to close games with two out of their four losses this season being by just one touchdown. With this division also containing many talented and young quarterbacks, which of those signal-callers is the best in this ultra-competitive division and who's the worst?

4. Daniel Jones

Sorry Giants fans, but Daniel Jones is the worst quarterback in the NFC East after Week 6. Statistically he hasn't had a bad season, as he's thrown for over 1,300 yards with six touchdowns to four interceptions. The former No. 6 overall pick continues to fall short in crucial moments, however. That's why he's the worst quarterback in this division.

For example, looking back on New York's 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football, Jones threw a costly interception in the red zone, failed to convert on two crucial fourth down throws and again had a hard time throwing the ball deep downfield against a Bengals defense that's one of the league's worst. He's not getting the job done, plain and simple.

3. Dak Prescott

For someone who became the NFL's highest-paid quarterback right before the season got underway, this is a no-brainer. Dak Prescott has been a major disappointment for the Cowboys six games into this season, which makes him the second-worst quarterback in the NFC East.

With Dallas sitting at a disappointing record of 3-3, the most shocking part is the fact that they're 0-3 at home and Prescott and the Cowboys' offense has struggled in front of their Arlington crowd. Take their last home game against the Detroit Lions into perspective, as they got blown out 47-9 with Prescott throwing for just 172 yards and two interceptions.

Prescott quite simply has not looked good this season and their offense as a whole has not been pretty, having scored 30 points just once this season back in Week 1. The Cowboys are always expected to be Super Bowl contenders, which is why Prescott is ranked third on this list.

2. Jalen Hurts

The Eagles haven't quite been the team five games into their season that many thought they would be. With the addition of former Giants running back Saquon Barkley to go with other skill players on this Eagles offense like AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, a 3-2 record is probably not what they anticipated. With that said, Jalen Hurts, for now, has proven to be the No. 2 QB in the division.

While the Eagles struggled four games into their season, after their bye, Hurts and the Eagles offense looked a lot better in the second half of their win against the Browns. Hurts on the day passed for 264 yards with two touchdowns, completing nearly 65 percent of his passes. Hurts also eliminated the turnover bug over his last two games after it was a problem for him during the Eagles' first three games of the regular season and dating back to last year as well. He's going to look to put on a show at MetLife Stadium in Week 7.

1. Jayden Daniels

Is this really a surprise? Jayden Daniels, who won the Heisman last season and was the Commanders' No. 2 overall pick out of LSU during this past NFL Draft, has been everything Washington could have hoped for. From winning four straight games for the first time since 2021, matching their win total from last season and sitting atop first place in the NFC East, Daniels as of right now is the best quarterback in the division.

Six games into Washington's season, Daniels has completed over 75% of his passes, has passed for over 230 yards or more in five straight games and only has two turnovers on the year. Also, the Commanders are tied with the Tampa Buccaneers for the most points scored this season with 178. Daniels has simply been everything the Commanders hoped he could be, as they have been searching for their franchise quarterback for many years. He is the answer.
