ChatGPT ranked NFC North QBs and absolutely dunked on Kirk Cousins
Aaron Rodgers is on his way out of the NFC North, but Kirk Cousins is still one of the worst quarterbacks in the division. Well, according to AI, at least.
The Green Bay Packers have dominated the division for three decades, largely due to enjoying back-to-back Hall-of-Fame careers at the most important position in sports. When Brett Favre left, the Packers' division rivals had to suffer as Aaron Rodgers became a superstar.
With Rodgers on his way to the New York Jets, it's Jordan Love's time to shine. Right now, we have no idea how good Love will be in the NFL.
Can Love lead the Packers to countless years of success and playoff football like the two starting quarterbacks who played before him? To look into the crystal ball, we asked Artificial Intelligence to give its view.
We asked ChatGPT to rank the projected NFC North starting quarterbacks -- Jordan Love, Justin Fields, Jared Goff, and Kirk Cousins -- based on upside.
It's scary how thorough and detailed AI can be. As expected, it gave a thoughtful answer, although Minnesota Vikings fans might not agree.
NFC North QB rankings based on upside, according to ChatGPT
Note: Everything written in the rankings was generated by ChatGPT, as crazy as that sounds. Scroll down to the bottom for our conclusion.
1. Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
Fields has immense upside due to his combination of physical tools, mental makeup, and potential development. He has shown flashes of brilliance in college and in the NFL, and if he can continue to develop and adjust to the NFL game, he could become one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
2. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Love was drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and the Green Bay Packers clearly saw a lot of potential in him. He has a strong arm and good mobility, and if he can develop his accuracy and decision-making, he could become a star in the league.
3. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
Goff has shown flashes of greatness in his career, but his consistency and decision-making have been issues at times. However, if he can find a way to put it all together, he has the physical tools to be a top-tier quarterback.
4. Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings
Cousins is a solid quarterback who has put up good numbers throughout his career, but his upside is limited due to his lack of elite physical tools and his tendency to be a bit risk-averse at times. He is a reliable quarterback, but he may never be considered among the best in the league.
OK, we're back. Those rankings were put together and written by ChatGPT, so if you are a Vikings fan and aren't too impressed, just know it wasn't me that wrote them. I do, however, think the AI was spot on.
What a time to be alive. It's the year 2023, and Kirk Cousins is getting dunked on by Artificial Intelligence.
However, it's hard to argue with ChatGPT's rankings. Remember, we asked it to give its rankings based on upside. Even if Cousins is better than Jordan Love right now, we want to look at the bigger picture. Will Cousins lead the Vikings to the Super Bowl anytime soon? Probably not.
Which quarterback has the better chance of leading their team to the Super Bowl in the next five years? Kirk Cousins with the Minnesota Vikings, or Jordan Love with the Green Bay Packers? It's Love.
ChatGPT has had its say. Aaron Rodgers might be gone, but Kirk Cousins is still at the bottom of the NFC North quarterback rankings.
