The AFC West is a powerhouse for quarterback play and it has gotten even more formidable this year after the Las Vegas Raiders upgraded at the position by trading for new starter Geno Smith.

And fans believe not a better division for quarterback play than in this division. We recently asked our community members which of the eight NFL divisions has the best group of quarterbacks.

To recap, here was your choices:

• AFC East: Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills), Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins), Drake Maye (New England Patriots), Justin Fields (New York Jets).
• AFC North: Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens), Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals), Aaron Rodgers (Pittsburgh Steelers), undecided (Cleveland Browns).
• AFC South: C.J. Stroud (Houston Texans), Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars), Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson (Indianapolis Colts), Cam Ward (Tennessee Titans).
• AFC West: Geno Smith (Las Vegas Raiders), Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs),Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers), Bo Nix (Denver Broncos).
• NFC East: Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles), Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders), Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys), Russell Wilson (New York Giants).
• NFC North: J.J. McCarthy (Minnesota Vikings), Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers), Jared Goff (Detroit Lions), Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears).
• NFC South: Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Michael Penix (Atlanta Falcons), Bryce Young (Carolina Panthers), Tyler Shough (New Orleans Saints).
• NFC West: Matthew Stafford (Los Angeles Chargers), Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers), Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals), Sam Darnold (Seattle Seahawks).

It wasn’t close as the AFC West was a runaway winner. The season should be a blast.

Feels like a homer vote if ever there was one.

AFC North (Lamar and Burrows and maybe the old fella) or NFC East for me.

I don't rate Herbert that highly/

AFC West only has Mahomes so it can't be this division.

AFC west has solid or better QBs with every team.

It is really hard to argue that it is not the AFC West. Maybe the AFC North? but in a division with Mahomes and Herbert, and Nix played quality football last year, and Geno has the ability to play quality football the AFC West is pretty tough. The north has Burrow and Lamar. Maybe the NFC East with Hurts, Jayden and Dak is tough too?
