We examine all 32 NFL teams and look at their quarterback situation over the next five years.
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article with my quarterback rankings for 2025, and Caleb Williams came in 18th on the list.
One of our WCG commenters, 73freethrows, mentioned that he would be curious to know where Caleb Williams would rank in dynasty QB rankings. I love dynasty fantasy football, and that gave me an idea.
Let’s look at all 32 NFL teams and look at their quarterback outlook for the next five years. We consider age, talent, and even the contract (less important, in my opinion, than the other two), and also take into account the support surrounding the player.
With all that in mind, we take a look and rank every NFL team, their featured quarterback, and that QB’s age at the time of publication.
Patrick Mahomes turns 30 this year, and it’s fair if people want to start knocking him down a peg or two in the rankings. But I think too much of Mahomes’ ability, Andy Reid is still there (and hasn’t said he wants to retire soon), and the offensive cupboard is slowly getting replenished with guys like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy.
Allen is the same age as Mahomes right now. Allen has a sturdy frame that makes you pretty comfortable, so you don’t have to worry too much about injuries as he enters his 30s. Allen has a nice supporting staff around him, but I question his coaching a little, especially with the idea that Joe Brady should get a head coaching job at some point in the next year or two.
Some people would probably have Burrow a little lower, but I just think Burrow, with his two top targets locked down for the next several years, is a guy you have to rank high. Burrow has had some injury issues in the past, and Zac Taylor is pretty good, but certainly isn’t Sean McVay, but I think Burrow’s talent is too good to have any lower.
I think 95% of fans would have Jackson above Burrow, and I wouldn’t argue with them. I still worry about Jackson’s play style as he approaches the age of 30. I know Burrow has had more injury issues than Jackson at this point, so my stance is totally not based on facts, just my gut feeling on the two QBs moving forward.
Bears fans won’t be happy to see this one here, but it’s hard to argue with the results. Daniels won rookie of the year and played fantastically in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense. At only 24, Daniels should only improve, as long as his slim build doesn’t break down as the hits pile up over the years.
