The NFC West is one of the most evenly matched divisions in football, but there is no doubt who sits at the summit when it comes to the quarterbacks.

The NFC West is widely viewed as the toughest division in football and for good reason.

Defending NFC champions the San Francisco 49ers are the favorites to retain the division title they won for the first time since 2012 last year.

But the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals all have rosters capable of mounting a challenge to dethrone them.

There was a short supply of blowouts in the West last year, and the division was decided in the final game of the regular season in 2019. Though the teams may be evenly matched, there is little debate who has the top quarterback in the NFC West.

Behind the top dog, however, it is difficult to find a consensus for the order in which the division’s remaining starters under center should be ranked.

The quarterbacks from the division’s two California teams divide opinion, while Arizona’s offense is helmed by a rookie with the potential to rapidly ascend to the top of the pile.

Here we rank the four starting signal-callers in the NFC West.
