QB rankings…did the whole list above him so you guys get an idea, Tua ranked 20th. Highest I’ve seen him ranked is 14 lowest 22:
20. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
Injuries have held Tua back, but he’s more talented than people give him credit for. If he can stay healthy, he has what it takes to lead a team, assuming the Dolphins have done enough around him.
19. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
It’s tough to label Jordan Love just yet. While I believe great QBs elevate their WRs, Love’s situation is unique due to inconsistency across the board. Let’s see what he looks like with a (more) stable supporting cast
18. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
I can’t get a read on Trevor Lawrence. He constantly alternates between looking like a superstar and then falling flat. The talent is there, no doubt, but will he ever put it all together?
17. Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
Was Sam Darnold’s 2024 season a fluke? We’ll find out as he officially takes over in Seattle. Based on last season alone, though, it’s hard to rank him any lower than
16. Geno Smith, Las Vegas Raiders
Geno Smith’s career resurgence mirrors Baker Mayfield’s. I’m still a bit surprised by how well he performed in Seattle. The big question now: can he sustain that in Vegas?
15. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
When healthy, Dak Prescott is a top-tier quarterback. There are still questions about his playoff performances, but if he can overcome that narrative, he belongs in elite conversations.
14. Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
It’s refreshing to have guys like Brock Purdy in the league. He doesn’t overextend himself, isn’t the most athletic or most talented QB, but he wins by taking what’s there. That makes him a valuable asset.
13. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
I’ve never been a big Kyler Murray guy. But when he’s on, he’s a superstar. The biggest question is whether he can maintain that level consistently.
12. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos
I’m still skeptical of Bo Nix as a franchise cornerstone, but he silenced a lot of critics last season. If he continues to improve, it’ll be hard to put many guys over him based on his rookie campaign.
11. Matthew Stafford, LA Rams
Stafford has been polarizing over the past five years, and I don’t get why. He’s consistently been one of the league’s top quarterbacks. You’re significantly better off with Stafford under center than most QBs in football.
10. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Talk about a career revival. Mayfield looked finished just a few years ago, but now he’s a top-10 QB. His growth and maturity have been one of the more refreshing stories in recent NFL seasons.
9. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
Even if he hit a slight sophomore slump, C.J. Stroud remains a very good QB. His touch on deep and intermediate throws, as well as his ability to improvise, keeps him among the league’s best young talents.
8. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
Losing Ben Johnson is notable, but Goff should pick up right where he left off the past two seasons. He still has the weapons to put up top-10 numbers and lead the Lions as an NFC contender.
7. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
What more can you say after Jayden Daniels' 2024 campaign? He was lights out and exceeded every expectation set for him as a rookie. I expect him to push for a top-five ranking this year.
6. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert are similar in a lot of ways. In terms of raw talent, they’re nearly identical, but Burrow has simply done more up to this point production-wise.
5. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t a fan of Jalen Hurts coming out of college. I didn’t think he’d make it as a pro, let alone become this good. He’s a top-five QB in football, and I doubt last year’s Super Bowl will be his last.
4. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
Burrow feels like a guy who will finish his career with extraordinary numbers but very little to show for it due to consistent front office malpractice. The talent is undeniable.
3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
What can you really say about Patrick Mahomes? He’s a magician and the main reason the Kansas City Chiefs have been so dominant in recent years. In terms of natural ability, I do think the two guys above him have a gear he doesn’t, but that’s not a knock on Mahomes’ greatness.
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Not much separates Josh Allen from Lamar Jackson. In an alternate universe, Allen is the best QB in the league by nearly every metric. Like Lamar, Allen’s ability to carry a team on his back puts him near the top of this list.
1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
There may be a lot of debate about who should be No. 1 on this list, but to me, it’s Lamar Jackson. He’s the best QB in the league, with his ability to carry teams despite subpar wide receiver play, and his multidimensional skill set sets him
