QB Rankings

Post by D-train » Mon Jul 13, 2026 8:31 pm

I typically don't give a F about this nonsense but Sam being outside the top 10 is ridic. I would put him at about 7. Below Drake Maye???? :lol:
Buffalo’s Josh Allen was No. 1 in ESPN’s QB rankings, followed by Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes, the Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew Stafford, Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson. Dallas’ Dak Prescott, the Los Angeles Chargers’ Justin Herbert, New England’s Drake Maye, Detroit’s Jared Goff and Williams rounded out the top 10.

The funny thing about these is it's someone's opinion, so you have no idea what they are basing their criteria on. I mean, if you watched just football from last year? You might not even put Burrow, Jackson, Herbert, Mahomes or Goff ahead of him! But these guys just look at names and decide at random who they think ranks in what spot. I like when they do independent rankings and ask GMs who they would take, or if there is an actual criteria in place. That doesn't get clicks though. Guys creating crazy content does.

Tell me I can only have one QB in football to lead my come from behind two minute scoring drive? After Stafford and Allen? I probably say Burrow and Williams too. The rest is a fricking crap shoot, if you ask me. For this team? Right now? Give me Sam. The guys love him, or at least it seems that way.

So we are talking strickly stats? Darnold was ranked 19th in Total QBR last season. ESPN has a postition ranking deal based on polling NFL executives, scouts and coaches. Darnold doesn't make their top ten at QB but he gets an honorable mention
"What a career bounce back. He's been lights-out for two years. Deserves to be in the top 10," a high-ranking AFC team official said
