6. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love was awesome against New England in Week 9. He essentially did whatever he wanted through the air, finishing with 372 passing yards and three touchdowns on just 23 completions. Love has been outstanding this year when you consider that the Packers simply cannot run the ball.
There is no legitimate threat for this team on the ground, so opposing defenses know this team needs to drop back and throw the football, and even with that being the case, Love is still carving up opposing defenses.
He now has 2,618 passing yards and 19 passing touchdowns on the season. His completion percentage is also up to 63 percent, and it’s hard to look at Love and not think that he is in the MVP race.
If the Packers can somehow manage to win the NFC North this year, it’ll be because Love sustains this high level of play the rest of the way. Green Bay is actually in last place in the division despite being a 6-3 team. Love rises in our QB power rankings after a stellar outing.
5. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence has been awesome this year. The Jacksonville Jaguars TNF game in Week 9 was in a bit of a rainstorm, so Lawrence didn’t light up the stat sheet, but he’s been, quite easily, a top-10 QB for the entire season and has his Jaguars team playing well.
It’s not going to be a shock if Lawrence ends the year as an MVP candidate for the second season in a row. With Liam Coen as the head coach, Lawrence is finally hitting his stride and is becoming quite the prolific passer.
He’s someone who is slowly but surely sliding his way into the ‘elite’ tier with many of his AFC peers at the position. He’s also right in the middle of what could be his prime years age-wise, so the Jaguars could end up having a very long, successful stretch in this current era.
In fact, it’s not going to be a major shock if the Jaguars win the Super Bowl this year. They have all the boxes checked and have a QB playing out of his mind.
