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.
No one had Stafford as the top when the season kicked off, but he’s undoubtedly been the NFL’s best QB this season. The NFL’s touchdowns leader continued his dominance Sunday over the Cardinals. He was efficient and effective, completing 22-of-31 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns.
Prescott, the NFL’s passing yards leader, has 98 more attempts than Maye, yet he only has 225 more passing yards than Maye. It’s just one stat that shows how potent Maye has been this season. He has, however, been the NFL’s third-most sacked QB, but he’s still only thrown six interceptions. More amazing is the fact that he’s ranked No. 2 already, yet is 14 years younger than Stafford at No. 1.
Prescott had a season-high 376 passing yards on Thursday. That’s even more impressive when you consider he was under immense pressure, being sacked five times by the Lions. He did throw two interceptions, but both were on tipped passes his receivers could have caught. While the Cowboys were behind for much of the game, Prescott kept Dallas until the very end.
Playing in the Buffalo snow, Josh Allen recorded a season-high 78 rushing yards. More importantly, he was crucial in helping hold off Burrow’s rallying Bengals. Allen was not only efficient, completing 78.6% of his passes, he did well to limit mistakes, avoiding turnovers and only getting sacked three times.
Knowing he’d need a big performance to hang with the Cowboys’ high-scoring offense, Goff delivered in a big way. He’d post 309 yards, which surprisingly was just his third 300-yard game of the season. Yet, it was his third game completing over 73% of his passes in his past five contests, showing how sharp he can be. Goff was nearly perfect, managing to avoid turnovers and only getting sacked once despite attempting 34 passes. It was just what the Lions needed to beat the Cowboys.
Love and the Packers are getting hot at the right time, winning four games in a row. After three more touchdowns on Sunday, Love has tallied nine touchdowns and one interception in that span. He’s been particularly effective at finding the end zone as of late, getting touchdowns on 13.75% of his attempts.
Darnold’s been one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks this season, but he’d come into Sunday on a bit of a cold streak, with just two touchdowns and...
