NFL Quarterback Tiers

Elite

Tom Brady
I feel like it’s pretty obvious at this point, right? [insert goat emoji here]
Aaron Rodgers
Highest passer rating in career in NFL history. 4.23:1 TD-INT ratio. Hail Mary god.
Drew Brees
7x NFL Passing Leader. Five 5,000 yard passing seasons. Most career passing yards and completions. Highest career completion percentage.
Great

Patrick Mahomes
Second year in the league leading to MVP. 50 touchdowns. Side-arm gawd. Future of the NFL.
Russell Wilson
Probably elite maybe. [Malcolm Butler thinks not] 6x Pro Bowler. Consistently terrible offensive lines. Best QB in Seattle history. 64.2 completion %.
Matt Ryan
Should be a Superbowl champion. [insert 28-3 joke here] NFL MVP 2016. 65.3 completion %.
Ben Roethlisberger
2x Superbowl Champion. Ran AB out of town. Most career 500+ yard passing games. Most passing yards and touchdowns in Steelers history
Philip Rivers
Current leader in consecutive starts by active quarterbacks. Underrated. Accurate. Hella kids
Above Average
Andrew Luck
Durability concerns hold him back from being great. Holds nearly every rookie passing record. Nice guy.
Deshaun Watson
Near MVP candidate his rookie year before tearing his ACL, Longest streak of games with 3 or more passing touchdowns by a rookie in NFL history. Strong arm. Accurate.
Carson Wentz

MVP candidate in 2017 before ACL tear. Durability concerns hold him back. Has everything it takes to be elite. Super cool guy. Ginger beard
Baker Mayfield
Rookie passing TD record holder (in only 14 games) Electric personality. Great field vision. Elite. Exciting. Can do the “Orange Justice.”
Matthew Stafford
Lowest career interception percentage. Fastest player to reach 15k, 20k, 25k, 30k yards consecutively. Most passing yards in first 100 games. Underrated. Nice beard
Cam Newton
NFL MVP 2015. 7x NFL Top 100. Highest completion percentage of career last year. (67.5%) Most QB rushing touchdowns in NFL history. Dresses weird.
Jared Goff
2x Pro Bowl. Improved every year. Most improved player 2017. Bad Superbowl performance. Can’t eat red meat.
Average
Nick Foles
Superbowl Savior. Pro Bowl 2013. Superbowl MVP. Highest career passer rating in Eagles history (92.9) 7 tudders in a game. Rather large male gland.
Dak Prescott
2x Pro Bowl. 66.1 completion percentage career. Under 4,000 yards each season. Doesn’t turn the ball over. Benefits from great OL and running game. Romo was better
Derek Carr
3x Pro Bowler. Gets sacked a lot. MVP candidate in 2016. Accurate. Can thrive with weapons.
Jimmy Garropolo
Got money. Tears ACL. Two Rings. Learned behind the GOAT. Tons of potential.
Mitchell Trubisky

Pro Bowl 2018. Beat Packers to win division. Numerous rookie and non rookie passing records in Bears history. Mr Biscuit
Marcus Mariota
Numerous Titans records. Most games with at least 3 touchdown passes by an NFL rookie. Threw a touchdown pass to himself.
Kirk Cousins
Pro Bowl 2016. 95.0 passer rating. Redskins best 300-yard passing games in career (24) Isn’t actually Captain Kirk. You like that?!?!
Andy Dalton
3x Pro Bowl. Bengals record holder in career Passer Rating as PYPG. Two 4,000+ passing yard seasons. Missed playoffs in last four seasons. Has weapons to succeed. Red Rifle
Eli Manning
Giant record holder in passing yards, passing touchdowns, and pass completions. Should be NFL leader in consecutive starts. (Thanks McAdoo), Patriot Killer. Miracle Thrower.
Below Average
Lamar Jackson

He’s an interesting NFL quarterback prospect. He doesn’t throw the ball extremely well. Great athlete with tons of potential. Needs work. Mark Ingram will be extremely beneficial to him.
Alex Smith
Always extremely efficient. Likely might be done for his career though due to an extremely gruesome leg injury.
Case Keenum
Likely Redskins starter. Extremely bland quarterback. Doesn’t do anything exceptionally well.
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Most career touchdown passes by Ivy League quarterback. Most consecutive 400 yard passing games. (4) Eight different teams. Wonderlic majesty. Fitzmagic baby.
Joe Flacco
Superbowl champion. Strong arm. Chance to revive career in Denver. Most touchdown passes in post season history. Most road playoff wins.
Josh Rosen
Very poor rookie season. Rumbles of Cardinals taking Kyler Murray. Could be a fresh start for him. Cocky attitude. Chosen Rosen. Gets a “Garbage” pass for being a rookie
Sam Darnold
Posted highest rookie season completion percentage (57.7%) Decent arm. Will thrive with Le’Veon Bell as a bell cow back.
Josh Allen
Will likely end up having a successful career if he gets out of Buffalo. Can make plays with his arm and legs. First quarterback to rush for at least 95 yards in three consecutive games.
Jameis Winston
Most games of 300 yards passing in a career. Great rookie and sophomore year, but has significantly regressed. Benched two times last year for Fitzpatrick. Eating crablegs and L’s
Garbage
Ryan Tannehill
Another failed Dolphins’ experiment. Will likely see playing time in Tennessee.
Brock Osweiler
Free agent but basically trash
Blake Bortles
Tons of potential and was a tipped pass away from a Superbowl appearance. Likely will get another shot as a starter in the NFL after a stop in LA.
CJ Beathard
He’s been decent for just being thrown into NFL action unexpectedly.
Nick Mullens
Looked rather decent and will get another shot to start in the NFL.
