It’s the time of the year when hopes are realized — and dashed.
The Houston Texans and Washington Commanders are trending toward the latter category, in part due to a disappointing streak of games from their young quarterbacks.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins are surging, thanks to the strong and (to different degrees) revitalized play from their veteran signal-callers.
The path to the playoffs is all about post-Thanksgiving play. And, as usual, the QBs will be the determining factor for basically every team.
Welcome back to the QB Stock Market, where we weigh the most recent performances with 30% importance, while applying 70% to the rest of 2024. One question holds importance above all others: What have you done for your team lately?
Previous weeks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Watching Lamar and the Ravens beat the Chargers, I found myself wondering what Ladd McConkey would look like in the Baltimore offense. He is everything (that I suspect) the Ravens wanted Zay Flowers to be. They’re both slot players with the versatility to play outside. But McConkey is already more consistent at beating zone and man coverage. McConkey already runs routes that allow Justin Herbert to throw with trust and anticipation. Meanwhile, Flowers struggled to get open against the Chargers cornerbacks.
That’s why the Ravens traded for Diontae Johnson. They hoped to find reliability. He’s not there yet. In fact, he’s so far from there that it’s fair to wonder whether the trade is a bust. Johnson has recorded just one reception in four games. He has run 17 routes in said games with five targets and one catch. And get this: He has -63 reception yards over expected.
But here I am, crying over spilled sweat.
Lamar rolls on. He leads the NFL in passing yards (3,053) and is tied for No. 1 in passing…
