NFL quarterback rankings: Where does Sam Howell rank in 2023 preseason?
4. Lamar Jackson, Ravens
Despite health being an issue for Lamar Jackson the past two seasons, the former MVP is still the best running-threat QB in the game. In just 12 games for the Baltimore Ravens, Jackson had a QBR of 59.1, a completion percentage of 62.3, 2,242 passing yards, 17 passing touchdowns, seven interceptions, 764 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns.
3. Joe Burrow, Bengals
Considering that Joe Burrow just finished his third season and he’s already a top-3 QB in the NFL is unique. The Cincinnati Bengals were able to reach a Super Bowl two years ago as a result of Burrow’s skills. Last season, Burrow had a QBR of 58.7, 68.3 completion percentage, 4,475 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns, 12 interceptions, 257 rushing yards, and five rushing touchdowns.
2. Josh Allen, Bills
In terms of having a complete game, one can argue that Josh Allen has it. As a result, the Buffalo Bills have been a contender for most of his career. Last season he had a QBR of 71.4, a completion percentage of 63.3, 4,238 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 762 rushing yards, and seven rushing touchdowns.
1. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs
The Washington Commanders were able to steal Patrick Mahomes’ former offensive coordinator in Eric Bieniemy. However, Mahomes will always make the Kansas City Chiefs a contender as Mahomes is on his way to becoming an All-Time great. He already has won two Super Bowls and has two NFL regular season MVPs as well as two Super Bowl MVPs.
The elite passer is still only 27 years old on top of those awards so he has plenty of time to build on that resume. Last season he had an NFL-best 77.6 QBR, 41 passing touchdowns, and 5,250 passing yards. He also had a completion percentage of 67.1, 12 interceptions, 358 rushing yards, and four rushing touchdowns.
