Should you nab one of these individuals, you are set for success this season, and going forward.

4. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Age: 23

NFL 2016 Completion Rating: 63.7%

NFL 2016 Passing Touchdown to Interception Ratio: 23 to 4

The amount of times I have been told to temper my excitement on Dak Prescott is unbelievable, and I’m not even a Cowboys fan. Some have said “Wait until his sophomore year to drop judgment,” but not me. I’m onboard the Dak train and that’s all because of one statistic: 4 interceptions. In 2016, his rookie year, he only threw four interceptions. That kind of ball protection is impressive for veterans, let alone rookies in the NFL. Dak can move, he had 281 rushing yards last year alone with 3,657 air yards, the only definition that fits those numbers is “Athletic”. Some may contribute these statistics to the Cowboy’s tremendous line, but that won’t be changing anytime soon in Dallas. Dez Bryant, Terrance Williams, and Ezekiel Elliott are all parts of the Dallas machine that will continue Dak’s successful carrier. An athletic Quarterback that’s young and surrounded by talent is the dynasty holy grail as far as I’m concerned.

3. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

Age: 28

NFL 2016 Completion Rating: 59.7%

2016 Passing Touchdown to Interception Ratio: 35 to 10

Cam Newton is a powerful, massive force of a Quarterback at 6’5″, 248 pounds. His ability to make plays and come up when needed has been proven time and time again, by his arms and his legs and now, after a low 2016 season, we are about to see the Newton resurgence. The Panthers have made moves to create a fantastic squad around Cam this offseason. Curtis Samuel, Russell Shepard, and of course Christan McCaffrey, the best route Running Back out of the draft. Combine that with the likes of Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen and you start to see a scary good amount of talent. Cam Newton has the athletic ability and skill, and now he has the squad to use it to effect. He will be a dynasty force going forward with these weapons.

2. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks

Age: 28

NFL 2016 Completion Rating: 64.5%

NFL 2016 Passing to Touchdown Ratio: 21 to 11

Four seasons above 3,000 yards, the last 2 above 4,000, over 20 passing touchdowns every season, over 200 yards rushing every season, 2 NFC championships, one super bowl. Stats don’t always talk, but in Russell Wilson’s case, they do. Wilson has not had a single disappointing season since coming into the league in 2012, and chances of him doing so seem slim, especially with the likes of Jimmy Graham, Doug Baldwin and now Eddie Lacy to help take the pressure off of him. Wilson is a fast, accurate, smart Quarterback, and you are getting nothing but years of quality when drafting him.

1. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts

Age: 27

NFL 2016 Completion Rating: 63.5%

NFL 2016 Passing to Touchdown Ratio: 31 to 13

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, Andrew Luck is definitely the greatest Quarterback under 30. He is number one on this list due to superior yardage and a staggering amount of touchdowns scored per year. You can pick up Andrew Luck, throw him into your starting QB slot, and have absolute confidence week after week that he will post points in the position. Three over 4,000-yard seasons, four seasons over 20 touchdowns and superior play in the pocket and on the move, Andrew Luck is elite and will be for as long as he is healthy. For long term dominance and quality in the Quarterback spot, you can’t do any better.
