The AFC is just so stacked QB wise. The NFC especially if Stafford retires should be wide open as there's no elite QB at the top. That's why I'm hoping the Bryce we saw the 2nd half of the season is who he'll be moving forward as that would allow us to compete based on QB play alone.
Put Hurts on any other NFC team and he'd look average at best. The Eagles win because they have the best front office in the league who knows how to build and stack talent.
