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’s 37 years old, but Stafford is leading the NFL in several categories. That includes touchdowns, first downs, and QB rating. The Rams are playing some of the best football in the NFL, and Stafford’s efficiency is a big reason why.
The second-year leap Maye has enjoyed going from last season to this one should be studied. While Maye showed promise as a rookie, he’s already performing as a top five QB. Just 23 years old, Maye is avoiding mistakes like a veteran. He’s amazingly thrown interceptions on fewer than two percent of his passes, but he’s also taking sacks on nearly 10% of his drop backs. Of course, coaches would MUCH rather have him take sacks than turn the ball over, so Maye is making the right play.
Facing the NFL’s best defense, Josh Allen suffered a career-high eight sacks in the Bills’ loss to the Texans. That’s ridiculous, considering the NFL’s MVP was sacked just 14 times all of last season. While Thursday’s effort was one to forget, Allen has otherwise been excellent, with a new career-high completion rate while being on track to finish with a new personal best in passing yards.
He’s still getting sacked too much, which is partially a product of the Chargers losing both their starting offensive tackles. Otherwise, Herbert has been excellent considering the conditions he’s working in. Coming off a season-low 81 passing yards, we expect Herbert to return to top form after enjoying a bye.
While the game started rocky with a batted ball leading to a pick, Mahomes settled in nicely, especially considering he helped lead two 80+ yard scoring drives to deliver a win in OT. He’s moving the chains, but the Chiefs are having a hard time finding the end zone as of late. Mahomes has just one touchdown across his past three games.
Darnold quickly moved on from his four-interception game and got right back to throwing strikes downfield. A week after averaging a season-low 6.3 yards per attempt, Darnold cranked that up to 9.4 YPA on Sunday. He still leads the NFL in yards per attempt, completion, and net yards per pass, making the Seahawks a tough cover on every snap.
Working with one of the best pass-catching tandems in the NFL, Prescott is thriving after last season’s season-ending hamstring injury. The 32-year-old is coming off arguably his best...
