Player rankings always fuel conversations, and no topic is more hotly debated than quarterbacks. Since they’re so popular, we find it interesting to maintain our 2025 NFL QB rankings each and every week.
Football fans are blessed with some extremely elite players today, such as Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson. Is Justin Herbert ready to join that conversation too? Below, we rank all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks, from the best to the worst.
Sneaking away with what felt like a close win over the Saints isn’t anything to write home about, but Josh Allen got the job done. A 4-0 record for the Buffalo Bills is a big win thus far and Allen has mostly been excellent. This time he completed 16-of-22 passes for 209 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, but we expected more against a bottom-tier Saints defense. Allen’s best moment came on a 27-yard scramble on third down, pushing him up to 45 yards on the ground.

We caught a glimpse of a vintage version of Patrick Mahomes on Sunday. Not only did he rack up 270 passing yards, the Kansas City Chiefs QB amazingly had his first 4 TD game since 2023. While the Ravens’ passing defense was missing several starters by the end of the game, it was nice to see video game Mahomes back in action.

Lamar Jackson was in the midst of a blowout loss before leaving the Baltimore Ravens‘ game in the third quarter. A hamstring strain places his status for Week 5 in question, which should be a major concern in Baltimore. Before he left, Jackson had tallied just 14 yards, a touchdown and an interception, but he did have 48 rushing yards. Let’s hope he can stay in the lineup to fight for his third NFL MVP trophy.
Matthew Stafford had a huge day on Sunday, going off for a 375-yard, three touchdown game. It was just enough to help the Los Angeles Rams edge out the Colts to remain undefeated. The 37-year-old was excellent, but he saved the best for last with an 88-yard go-ahead touchdown strike to Tutu Atwell with just 1:44 remaining in the game.

Justin Herbert has already tied his interception total from last season, but expecting him to have fewer than three picks was probably unreasonable again. While Herbert has had a strong season, he’s coming off a bit of a dud, completing just 56% of his passes for 203 yards to go with a touchdown and two picks. Not having either of his starting tackles didn’t help,...
