Sports fans love debates, and no conversation is more hotly debated than NFL QB rankings. But sometimes those ranks change from week to week or month to month. As we approach Week 8, it’s time for a refreshed look at this year’s NFL quarterback rankings so far.
So, who’s the NFL’s best quarterback? Who’s the worst quarterback in the NFL this year? You’re about to find out.
Others may have better numbers, but Indiana Jones isn’t working with an All-Pro receiver; however, he could help rookie Tyler Warren get there. Jones has been operating the NFL’s highest-scoring offense while doing a great job of limiting mistakes, and it’s led to the Colts having the best record in the AFC.
He may have suffered a season-ending injury last season, but Prescott is back to being among the NFL’s best quarterbacks in 2025. He’s just one shy of leading the NFL in touchdowns and has tossed just three interceptions. Ranking among the league leaders in all major passing categories, the Cowboys may be wasting an MVP-like season from their franchise QB.
The former No. 1 pick is playing some of his best football, even without Ben Johnson’s help. Goff has a new career-high in completion percentage, and his rare misses have hit the turf instead of landing in a defender’s arms. He’s been nearly flawless, helping the Lions score more than 30 points per game while returning as Super Bowl contenders.
No one has more passing touchdowns than Matthew Stafford, and his strong connection with Puka Nacua is a big reason why. Stafford has also thrown just two interceptions, showing that the veteran can still find the end zone without forcing balls into risky windows.
Mahomes is back, and he hasn’t even had his receiving corps at full strength. Yet, we can already see the potential from Rashee Rice’s strong season debut. We fully expect Mahomes to stay hot and get back into the MVP conversation after a tough start.

While he’s averaging more passing yards per game than he did last year in an MVP season, Allen is on pace to throw for more passing touchdowns. Yet, he’s already up to four interceptions after tossing just six all of last season. He’s also already taken 12 sacks, compared to 14 all of last season. Add it all up, and Allen’s not playing at the same level as last season, but he’s still been excellent.
Mayfield has put together some of the NFL’s best passing performances of the season, including in Week 5 when he completed 87.5% of his passes while going off for 379 yards and two touchdowns. Having a cast of star receivers surely helps, but Mayfield hasn’t had his pass-catchers at full strength and he’s still elevated his team,...
