Maybe he finds success in Year 2. I loved the Patriots' decision to sign Newton as a low-risk, high-upside replacement for Brady. The AFC North is home to three starting quarterbacks that won the Heisman Trophy — Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, Baker Mayfield with Cleveland, and Cincinnati's Joe Burrow.“Baker Mayfield is a tremendous talent,” Ravens' general manager Eric DeCosta said at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.
I don't doubt his potential.
For all of the alleged steps he took a season ago, Maybe it'll be Darnold, who got dealt a bad hand a year ago when mono sidelined him at the beginning of the season.
That's good enough for them to finish in the middle of the pack. Kyler Murray is part of a talented group of quarterbacks in the NFC West.

For quite a while, Ben Roethlisberger was the only high-end player at the position with everybody else being mediocre at best.
The two newcomers have strengthened the division. Baltimore defeated Cleveland 31-15. There's a reasonable case to be made that the AFC North will be the best division by quarterbacks in one year. It remains #RankingSzn here at CBS Sports as we try to survive the summer months of the NFL calendar -- the only portion of the year that can actually be described as the offseason -- before the upcoming season finally arrives, assuming it does, in fact, arrive. While Jones certainly flashed potential at times as a first-round rookie, he also struggled consistently, particularly with holding onto the football.
The Cleveland Browns have long been searching for any kind of consistent answer at quarterback. It could go either way. The more-likely scenario sees Fitzpatrick starting come Week 1. Either way, Wilson leads this collection of talented quarterbacks after willing the Seahawks to 11 wins in 2019. With a strong supporting cast, Ryan has a chance to rebound in 2020 or at the very least, maintain his current level of play.
Taylor is capped by a low ceiling, and Herbert is going to need time to adjust to the NFL.
