AFC East QB rankings: Where does Geno Smith land vs. his rivals?
Josh Allen sits atop the AFC East after another strong performance, while Geno Smith and, Drake Maye and Malik Willis offer plenty of intrigue.
The AFC East has provided ample discussion at the quarterback position following two weeks of games. Josh Allen, the Bills' quarterback, has proven to be the standout performer, leading the Buffalo Bills to a 2-0 record. He has contributed five touchdowns, showcasing his ability to complete passes, carry the ball, and score. Geno Smith, the Jets' quarterback, has had a solid second game despite a disappointing overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers.
He completed 27 of 41 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown without throwing an interception. Despite his efforts, the Jets struggled to convert their opportunities into points after a strong fourth-quarter lead. Drake Maye, the Patriots' quarterback, isn't performing spectacularly but has shown improvement over his Week 1 performance.
He completed 14 of 22 passes for 208 yards with one interception as the Patriots won 20-3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Malik Willis, the Dolphins' quarterback, had a tough afternoon against the San Francisco 49ers, falling to 0-2. Although there were some encouraging moments, Willis' performance hasn't been sufficient to propel the Dolphins into the playoff race.
As the NFL season is only in its infancy, there's still room for these rankings to change before the end of the season.
