Let’s look at how the QBs stack up heading into this season
A few days ago, our friends over at Pro Football Focus released their quarterback rankings for the 2025 season (you can check it out here). To say the least, I thoroughly disagreed with several of the author's choices. Once I saw that Caleb Williams was ranked below JJ McCarthy, who missed the entire season, that was enough for me.
So, as I do from time to time, I decided to put out my own rankings. We did the top 50 QBs in the NFL and ranked them from 1 to 50. Feel free to argue with these placements (you’d be wrong, but feel free). Fully objective, totally fair, and unbiased, here are my 2025 QB rankings, and the tiers they belong in:
It’s a default setting at this point. No need to elaborate.
I think at this point, the next two names on the list are interchangeable. I’ll give the MVP the nod this week, next week I might change my mind.
A threat on every play, and he seemingly keeps getting better every season.
I love this guy. He’s a competitor with insane arm talent. Bengals are coming off a down year where Burrow seemingly lost every game 44 to 38.
I think people are hot and cold on Herbert, but I think he developed into a great player despite many years of being in a terrible situation. The stability that Harbaugh provides will shake the doubters soon.
He’s won a Super Bowl. He’s the key to the most unstoppable play in the sport (that 22 owners want banned). There’s no argument against him anymore.
No, the Bears shouldn’t have taken Daniels number one overall, but you can’t argue with the results as a rookie. If he improves on his rookie campaign in year two, he may lock himself in as a top 5 quarterback after this season.
Giving Dak the benefit of the doubt after an injury-riddled season. Dak rebounds this year and puts up big numbers with Lamb and Pickens.
He kind of feels like the Energizer bunny at this point, he just keeps trucking along. People keep assuming he’s about to fall off, and he just keeps tossing for nearly 4,000 yards every season.
Goff has a lot to prove this season to show the league that he is the quarterback he’s shown the last few seasons and wasn’t just propped up by Ben Johnson.
