If there’s anyone who can relate to the adversity that Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is experiencing, it’s fellow former No. 1 overall pick Alex Smith.
With an established top tier and some young options revealing themselves last season, here is a look at where clubs' QB depth charts stand. Contracts and long-term outlooks do not factor in here; these rankings apply only to 2025 on-field capabilities.
Smith's future in Washington is uncertain. However, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler says the veteran quarterback wants to play the 2021 season, even if it's not with the Football Team.
The Washington Football Team lost starting quarterback Kyle Allen to an ankle dislocation and fracture during Sunday's game against the New York Giants, and head coach Ron Rivera has elevated Alex Smith to the starting job.
