It’s a quarterback driven league, and while the Buccaneers have one of the best young ones around, the rest of the division boasts some pretty good ones.

When the Buccaneers spent the first overall selection in 2015 on their quarterback of the future, it was pretty obvious the move would make or break the next five or so seasons for Tampa’s favorite franchise.

Two years later, and enter the third of the current era, things are looking good as records have fallen while their overall record has increased in both of his previous years under center.

In Carolina, their young leader has had the ultimate high of being the NFL’s MVP and the ultimate low which came last season and got the Panthers a Top-10 draft pick just one year later.

Atlanta’s Super Bowl run rode on the arm of their solid quarterback play, and even though it wasn’t enough to get the big win, it’s enough to keep fans excited entering a new season.

The Saints have a surefire Hall of Famer throwing the ball for them, and every year he’s there is another year they have a shot at some pretty special offensive moments.

So who’s is the best of them all? Let’s discuss.
