NFL quarterback questions: Experts on concerns, hot starts - ESPN

We've seen a little bit of everything under center through four weeks of the 2023 NFL season.

Brock Purdy leads the NFL in Total QBR over Tua Tagovailoa, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. Aaron Rodgers is out for the year because of a torn left Achilles. Joe Burrow has struggled as he battles a calf injury. And Joshua Dobbs — a late-August acquisition for Arizona — is among the most efficient passers in the league, while Baker Mayfield — on his fourth team in three years — has the Bucs on the playoff trail.

With the first month down, we decided to check in on signal-callers around the NFL. We called on our NFL Nation reporters to answer 10 big questions around the game's most important position.

Let's start with the interesting situation in Arizona. The 10 questions are listed alphabetically by team.

It's highly unlikely Dobbs will start the whole season if Kyler Murray recovers fully from a torn ACL in his right knee. In other words, the Cardinals won't keep Murray from playing even if they're playing well or winning with Dobbs.

Murray continues to rehab his right knee after surgery in January, and his timeline is still uncertain.

He has been in meetings, watching practice and rehabbing on the sideline all season, but when he returns to the field is up in the air. — Josh Weinfuss, Cardinals reporter
