The NFC West has regularly been one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL recently, and there s a good chance the 49ers and Rams will be playing for the title in Week 18. Both teams are also hoping to get back to the Super Bowl after the Rams advanced three years ago and the 49ers narrowly lost to the Chiefs two seasons ago.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Here is a game-by-game look at the Green Bay Packers’ 2021 NFL schedule.
With such uncertainty revolving around the future of MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, we looked at the schedule in terms of the opposing quarterbacks. After all, the NFL is a quarterback-driven league. Put simply, teams who get excellent quarterback play are likely to win and teams with poor quarterback play are likely to lose.
Last year, teams that received a passer rating of 100-plus went 151-43-1. That’s a winning percentage of .777, an impressive figure made even more impressive when you consider that sometimes a 100-passer-rating quarterback lost to another 100-passer-rating quarterback. Teams that received a passer rating of 80 or less finished a woeful 37-128-1, a winning percentage of just .223.

Mond was a winner for the Aggies, with elite athletic ability. His passing accuracy is in question, though he did improve to 63% last season.

Boom: Fields is an elite athlete who showed excellent accuracy and mobility while at Ohio State. He completed over 70% of his passes last season and showed toughness, overcoming multiple injuries. Bears head coach Matt Nagy is a former quarterback coach who was hired for his ability to develop offensive players.
Bust: The Bears already struck out on 2017 first-round pick Mitchell Trubisky, and Fields will still need time to develop as a passer. His ability to throw on the run is seen as a weakness, and it could take him time to fix it. He also doesn t have elite talent around him, with offensive line and receive depth issues in Chicago, plus Nagy could be entering a make-or-break year that could further complicate Fields development.

Wilson was a first-round prospect before his poor 2020 season, with only 17 tackles and one sack in six games. He was still highly productive prior to last season and is a former top recruit who could be a solid interior run stopper on the third day of the draft.
