The New York Giants have had a luxury no one else in the NFL has had in recent seasons, let alone history with Eli Manning at quarterback. No matter how the team is performing, you are able to pencil in Manning as the starting quarterback.

He has started every regular season and postseason game since taking over the starting quarterback spot for the Giants from Kurt Warner during his rookie season in 2004. It is something that the Giants rivals in the NFC East have not had the pleasure of seeing.

The Dallas Cowboys have a strong quarterback in Tony Romo, but his health is a serious question mark each season. Without a capable backup behind him, the Cowboys have fallen flat on their faces whenever Romo is not in the lineup, but at least they have someone to count on in Romo.

The same cannot be said for the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins. Both look to potentially have their quarterbacks of the future on their rosters right now, but time will tell if that is the case. The Redskins struck out on Robert Griffin III but are hoping Kirk Cousins, who was selected in fourth round of 2012, when Griffin III was selected second overall, can become their franchise quarterback.

The Eagles are hoping that Carson Wentz becomes their quarterback of the future, as they moved up to the second overall slot in the 2016 NFL Draft to select him. But, he will probably watch from the sidelines during his rookie season, as the Eagles have Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel ahead of him.

Quarterback is the most important position in the NFL, as teams without one struggle to find success. The NFC East could be decided by which of the starters can not only produce, but stay healthy as well. Who will help determine the outcome of the division this season? Here are the rankings of the starting quarterbacks in the NFC East.

Next: Sam Bradford
