Ranking all 32 starting QBs for 2025 NFL season

Ranking all 32 starting QBs for 2025 NFL season
ClutchPoints ClutchPoints

Watch out, NFL Super Bowl hopefuls, Joe Burrow has you in his sights. And Josh Allen brings the cash to the quarterback position. But what does the QB pecking order look like for this year? Here we will rank all 32 starting quarterbacks for the 2025 NFL season.

As with any season, injuries can play a key role in how quarterbacks perform. And it’s not just their injuries, but those of teammates. For example, Patrick Mahomes might drop down the list if the Chiefs suffer multiple line injuries. Dak Prescott might fall if CeeDee Lamb gets hurt. Or if a key running back goes down, it can affect the quarterback’s performance.

These rankings are put together with the assumption of a mostly healthy season for the player and the offensive unit as a whole. Also, we will, for the most part, go with the starting quarterback as listed according to the espn.com depth charts.

Away we go!

No. 32 Anthony Richardson, Colts

It’s hard to imagine Richardson can beat out Daniel Jones. There’s plenty of documentation to say he’s poor at the position. His accuracy may be the worst in the league.

No. 31 Tyler Shough, Saints

Shough only has to beat out Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener. Shough has a rough injury history, so maybe he should be ranked behind Richardson. However, he has a prototypical NFL quarterback frame (6-foot-5, 225 pounds) and far more accuracy than Richardson.

No. 30 Joe Flacco, Browns

ESPN still lists Deshaun Watson as the starter, but he will likely miss most of the season. You get what you see from Flacco, who can provide a modicum of consistency. And that’s about it.

No. 29 Russell Wilson, Giants

Father Time has pinned Wilson to the mat, who is squirming to avoid the three count. The mobility is gone, and it seems like it’s only a matter of time before Jaxson Dart takes over as the starter.

No. 28 Bryce Young, Panthers

Other places have him ranked higher. But a few top-notch games near the end of a throwaway NFL season should be ignored until he proves it’s real.

No. 27 Justin Fields, Jets

Passing consistency has hurt Fields, but he has shown flashes that keep him in the conversation for becoming a reasonably good starter.

No. 26 Sam Darnold, Seahawks

A lot of people want to buy into the 2024 version of Darnold. But his late-season collapse and losing the stud receivers who helped him with the Vikings will be tough to overcome.

No. 25 Cameron Ward, Titans

This is more of a team thing than a Ward thing. The Titans don’t offer much support for Ward at the receiver position, but he has a ton of potential.

No. 24 J.J. McCarthy, Vikings

He hasn’t played in the NFL because of last year’s injury, so there’s a big unknown here. However, with top-tier receivers at his disposal, it’s possible McCarthy far outpaces this ranking.

**No....
