Top Five QBs Set To Miss NFL Playoffs 2024 Including Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers and $245M Worth Warrior

It wasn’t an expected season for some good quarterbacks. The 2023 NFL regular season has ended. The final list of the wildcard games have been released. And the name of the teams that aren’t through the NFL playoffs 2024 have also been released.

On one hand, 14 starter quarterbacks out of 32 got one opportunity to step ahead and to make their Super Bowl dreams come true. On the other hand, 18 quarterbacks are missing the playoffs this time, waiting for next season to come. However, what’s interesting to note is that, almost all young gunners have taken the stage this time in the playoffs for their franchise. Let’s delve into the top 5 quarterbacks whose dreams have shattered this year.

Top 5 QBs not in the list!

Aaron Rodgers: Among 18 quarterbacks, the 19th quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is in the top list to be eliminated from the playoffs. Well he had already been eliminated from the season in his debut game, due to the Achilles tear. In his position Zach Wilson stepped up. But neither Wilson, nor Rodgers will be going to the playoffs as their team, the New York Jets, have limited themselves with 7 wins and 10 losses.

Kirk Cousins: Besides the 40-year-old Rodgers, Vikings QB Kirk Cousins, 35, is also eliminated from the playoffs round, as his team too had only 7 wins to its name with 10 losses. There were also reports that he might sign with another team for the next NFL season. However, some reports also suggest that Vikings might be relying on Cousins once again for their next season. Only future will tell if Cousins is staying with the Vikings or not.

Russell Wilson: Next, the $245 million worth warrior Russell Wilson, who is dealing with contract and position struggles in the Broncos (8-9), is another quarterback who is not heading to the playoffs. Although he became the first player to achieve 40,000 passing yards in the NFL, his alleged in-ability for the Orange team to march them on the victory road, was highlighted more.

Joe Burrow: Furthermore, the Bengals star QB Joe Burrow, who unfortunately suffered a season-ending injury, looked helpless in getting his team more wins and a playoff berth. The team lost eight games and won nine, becoming the only team to not enter the playoffs from their division.

Daniel Jones: Daniel Jones is also among the quarterbacks who were unfortunate due to their season ending injury. The 26 year old had a torn ACL, and hence weren’t in the race to lead the team to the playoffs. His team, the New York Giants, lost 11 games and could only secure 6 wins, overruling the chances of playoffs completely.

As these QBs have finished their season, let’s take a look at some of their stats.
