Card Ladder
Jul 17, 20242 min read

When you think of the overall sentiment of the current market and the overall economy in general, it has shifted from 3-4 years ago. During the peak, people were throwing money at anyone that moved. Now people have relatively gotten smarter but some still love to live on the wild side.

Darnold, Jones, Minshew, and Murray are 4 of the hottest QBs on the CL player index over the last 3 months. While this isn't the Netflix Last Chance U, it is likely the last chance all these QBs will get to start for their current teams if they play bad. With the immense pressure on these quarterbacks to perform, it is an interesting play for investors go after these quarterbacks. It is a make or break for them but as well as for the investor.

Each of these quarterbacks also have revamped offenses in which new weapons should make their jobs a lot easier.

Giants: Drafted Malik Nabers from LSU in the first round
Vikings: Signed Aaron Jones
Raiders: Drafted Brock Bowers from Georgia in the first round
Cardinals: Drafted Marvin Harrison from OSU in the first round

However it is an uphill battle for these quarterbacks due to the gauntlet of a division they are in. This is not an NFC South cake walk situation. Daniel Jones has to try to outperform the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles, both teams contending in win now mode. Sam Darnold, is in a crazy talented division with #1 overall pick Caleb Williams on an on paper loaded roster. Most notably the Packers and Lions are in that division, both of which were extremely close to a Super Bowl bid. Gardner Minshew all we have to say is Patrick Mahomes... Kyler Murray was the #1 pick just 5 years ago and his career has been nothing but downhill since their hot 7-0 start a few years ago. Currently the 49ers run the division with the Rams looking to return healthy to form.

It is worth noting players such as Goff, Love, Purdy, and more pro-bowl level QBs are also up.
