The best quarterback of the 2014 draft class comes down to Derek Carr vs Teddy Bridgewater. This debate will go on for years to come as both quarterbacks are just getting started in the NFL. They both showed they have what it takes to be franchise quarterbacks that lead their teams too.

But only one can be the best and to make their comparisons so far, you have to look at everything. You have to look at their numbers, all of them, as well as any other factors that are involved in it. So first, we’ll look at what they did with their situations in 2014 as that is the first sample size we got.

Then we’ll look at how the Minnesota Vikings built around Bridgewater and the Oakland Raiders around Carr this offseason. November 15, we’ll get a chance to see the two go head to head and that will go a long way in determining who’s ahead in 2015. This could be the start of a John Elway vs Dan Marino or Andrew Luck vs Robert Griffin III.
