Tony Romo has plenty of legitimate questions surrounding him in 2016 about his health. No one will argue that, even the staunchest Cowboys fan. Still, no one doubts Romo's ability to lead a strong Cowboys if he is healthy this season. In fact, most analysts would still probably choose Romo as the best quarterback in the NFC East if they were forced to choose.

Former Giants RB Tiki Barber is not among those analysts. He recently shared his opinion on the state of quarterbacking in the NFC East and who takes the crown for best QB in the division:

"I think it has to be Kirk (Cousins). It has to be," Barber told 106.7 The Fan's Chad Dukes. "None of the guys from the Eagles excite me. Eli and Tony are old, and Kirk just feels like he took the right steps."

Barber went on to explain his feelings on the Redskins signal caller.

"We were talking early about how Tom Coughlin reinvented himself. Kirk, who is only 27 years old, reinvented who he was. There's a lot to be excited about with him, especially if he keeps continuity with his coordinators and just keeps taking the small steps forward. You don't need to take leaps and bounds but just take small steps forward.

SportsDay's Jon Machota recently ranked the QB position in the NFC East. Here's what he had to say about Cousins and the rest of the Washington QBs, who ranked third on his list:

Kirk Cousins certainly needs more than one good season to get his name in any conversations with Romo or Manning. In his first full year as the starter, Cousins led Washington to an NFC East crown, throwing for 4,166 yards, 29 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. If he continues to perform at that level in 2016, the Redskins will likely make him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. Colt McCoy is a solid backup option, followed by sixth-round pick Nate Sudfeld.
