Top 10 NFL Quarterbacks Under the Most Pressure in the 2020-21 Season

The Bears' season was awful last year, and Trubisky is mostly to blame. The offense didn't just regress. It lost all sense of a functioning system. It got to the point where even the defense was affected by his poor performance. The defense got tired of being dragged out onto the field so often.

Now they brought in Nick Foles and declined Trubisky's fifth-year option. Hey Chicago, are you tired of the what if speculations about getting Mahomes or Watson? Good, because you will be hearing them for years to come. At this point, it is do or die.

Baker showed great potential as a rookie but then regressed last season. To be fair, that was with Freddie Kitchens as his head coach, but still. The Browns have done everything in their power to help him succeed. He has weapons, protection, and another coach in Kevin Stefanski.

If he can't succeed this year, he might be just another victim in the QB graveyard.

The Eagles did the unthinkable and drafted Jalen Hurts. Wentz is serviceable, but if these past few seasons have indicated anything, he can't stay healthy. If he's healthy, he's fine, but otherwise, they might replace him with Hurts.

He risks becoming the next Sam Bradford, it feels like.

The Raiders have no excuses now. This is a team that has been irrelevant since 2002, and they have the talent around Carr for wild card upside. They won't win the division, but a wild card is more than possible. Anything less is unacceptable when you go get Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards, and Lynn Bowden.

Not to mention, they already have Tyrell Williams and Josh Jacobs. They have better pieces on defense as well, but Derek Carr needs to get back to his 2016 form. As the years pass by, it's looking more and more like a fluke.

Why is the GOAT here, you ask? Well, it's simple: he's in Tampa now. The Bucs have some hype, but look at the past few years, and he looks like he's done. It's clear he's in the 2015 Peyton Manning stage of his career.

Yes, they have weapons, and they even brought a washed-up Gronk back. But let me remind you that Tom Brady is 43. Father Time is undefeated, and Brady's time is near. Bruce Arians is also no Bill Belichick. It's possible he struggles in Arians' system. This reminds me a lot of the Browns last year. Don't blow it.

Denver, like Oakland - I mean Vegas - has been irrelevant these past few years and is looking to get back into the playoff promised land. They went all out for weapons, which they needed badly after giving away Emmanuel Sanders. Elway was smart and doubled down on offense with Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler.

But everything revolves around Drew Lock. Need I remind you of their quarterback graveyard since Manning retired? Lock showed flashes of potential but still has a lot to prove.

Last year, he struggled as he shared the starting role with Case Keenum. Now they need some semblance of progress. The defense should be okay, but the offense is a mess. Luckily, they do have "Riverboat" Ron Rivera as head coach. Look what he did with Cam well before Newton got injured.

If he doesn't develop, there's a problem, and another QB may be needed.

Stafford is a veteran quarterback who has the stats to be decent, and that's all he has going for him. Like Wentz, he has trouble staying healthy, which has cost the Lions. Just look at last year. In his defense, the Lions haven't always had the greatest protection for him. But still.

He isn't on the best of terms with Patricia, and if he can't prove he still has it, the Lions might have to draft another quarterback as a replacement.

Last year, he showed flashes of potential but was also inconsistent. Now, this is his team. Eli Manning is gone, and he has to start showing progress and development. Let's not forget about the massive reach Gettleman made to draft him. He'll always have that hanging over his head.

If Daniel Jones can't at the very least show consistency and more development, it will be easy to label him as a massive reach and a potential bust.

He's in the same boat as Baker. It's do or die. The thing with him is he's gonna be running for his life again, and if he can't stay upright, then yeah, he's in trouble.

Had a cool rookie story, but now reality sets in. Overall, he's not bad, but he's gonna have to have a lot of guts to keep his starting role. Keep in mind the Jags are tanking, and there are a few quarterbacks in line for next year, including Trevor Lawrence. This team is projected to be the worst in the league. Have fun with getting no more than five wins.

First off, assuming he's coming back, that in itself is up in the air at this point. Second, even if he does, he's 38 and past his prime. Sure, he's better than the horrid backups, but that's not saying much.

There's a good chance he won't be the same QB. In that case, better hope he can at least lead the team to respectability.
