Who’s the NFL’s best quarterback? Who’s the NFL’s worst quarterback? We felt it was only fair to evaluate all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks based on their performance this season. That means the typical greats like Patrick Mahomes won’t rank No. 1, simply because he hasn’t been at his very best this year. Scroll down for the full 2025 NFL QB rankings, from 1-32.
He entered the season with concerns about his back, but Stafford is playing his best ball at 37 years old. Amazingly, Stafford has only earned Pro Bowl honors twice, but right now he’s playing like an MVP who’s set to earn his first All-Pro nod too. Leading the NFL in touchdowns and first downs while having the Rams competing for the NFC’s top seed, Stafford has been the NFL’s best quarterback.
Still just 23 starts into his career, Maye is already performing as a top-five QB. He not only leads the NFL in passing yards and completion rate, he’s also somehow tops in adjusted yards gained per attempt. Maye has been efficient and dangerous, and he’s still just 23 years old.
Allen won the MVP last season, but this year he’s on pace to have more passing yards and touchdowns. He also has more interceptions too. It’s not like he’s just focusing on dicing up defenses through the air either, Allen’s also on track to have more rushing yards and touchdowns too. He’ll earn All-Pro honors again, but will voters place him behind Drake Maye?
Few could have predicted that Danny Dimes would go from being cut in New York to an All-Pro candidate in Indianapolis in just one year. Yet, that’s exactly what we’ve seen transpire under coach Shane Steichen. Jones not only averages nearly a first down per pass attempt (8.3 YPA), but he’s also limiting mistakes and doing damage with his legs, as usual.
Herbert has lost both starting offensive tackles while dealing with a backfield that’s become decimated by injuries, which makes his production even more impressive. Herbert enters Week 12 ranking second in passing yards, and he’s keeping defenders guessing by spreading the ball around. Four different Chargers pass-catchers have 500 or receiving yards, making this offense pretty unpredictable.
While there are still some rocky moments, Mahomes is back to being one of the most productive QBs in the NFL. He hasn’t had a game with fewer than 250 passing yards since Week 3. However, Mahomes is also on track to have the lowest completion rate of his career.
Once again, Goff is back to being one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the NFC, producing 21 touchdowns to just four interceptions. Yet, he’s also coming off a dreadful performance that saw him complete just 37.8% of his passes.
The Jets were way, way off about Sam Darnold. He’s gone...
