Quarterback play is the heartbeat of the NFL. The best QBs make magic happen under pressure, while the worst make you question why they still have a job. Precision passing, game-winning drives, and mind-boggling mistakes- we’ve seen it all this season.
How about we go around the league and rank the starting signal callers from 32 to 1?
Who are the top-ranking quarterbacks in the NFL after week 14?
32. Jacksonville Jaguars: Mac Jones (Not Ranked)
Mac Jones didn’t exactly look like Tom Brady reincarnate, but for a guy who’s had more lows than highs this season, a win has to come with a sigh of relief.
31. Tennessee Titans: Will Levis (Last Week #29)
Will Levis finished with just 168 yards and missed two critical fourth-down plays that could’ve swung the game. The growing pains are real.
30. New York Giants: Drew Lock (Last Week #28)

Drew Lock did his best to inject some life into this offense, and for a while, it looked like he might pull it off. But “almost” doesn’t get the W.
29. Atlanta Falcons: Kirk Cousins (Last Week #30)
Another tough showing for the veteran NFL quarterback, who is quickly falling out of favor with the Falcons fan base. He totaled 344 yards, but with no touchdowns and two interceptions, it felt hollow.
28. Dallas Cowboys: Cooper Rush (Last Week #26)
Cooper Rush is the definition of a fringe NFL quarterback. Sometimes, he’ll give you just enough. Other times, you wonder why he’s out there. And on Monday night, it was exactly that in the form of a tale of two halves.
27. New Orleans Saints: Derek Carr (Last Week #27)
Derek Carr’s afternoon was a rollercoaster. He threw for 219 yards and a touchdown, but the interception was brutal. He also left the game after a hard hit, adding to the Saints’ concerns.
26. Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams (Last Week #19)
Caleb Williams got sacked seven times and never had room to breathe. His stat line of 134 yards and two garbage-time touchdowns doesn’t tell the story of how battered he was.
25. Las Vegas Raiders: Aidan O'Connell (Last Week #21)
Aidan O’Connell just can’t catch a break. Knocked out with a knee injury in his second game back. Before that, 104 yards, a pick, and a fumble. Brutal luck.
24. Indianapolis Colts: Anthony Richardson (Bye) (Last Week #22)
Anthony Richardson has had flashes of brilliance, but the consistency and decision-making for this NFL quarterback still need work.
23. Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray (Last Week #24)
Kyler Murray started hot, but two early interceptions crushed any momentum. Hard to dig out of a hole when you’re the one who put them there.
22. New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers (Last Week #31)
Aaron Rodgers had his first 300-yard game in years, looking sharp with Davante Adams. But even a vintage Rodgers game couldn’t keep the Jets from being, well, the Jets.
21. New England Patriots: Drake Maye (Bye) (Last Week #23)
Rookie NFL quarterback Drake Maye is giving Patriots fans something to hold onto in an otherwise bleak year. Flashes of hope in a sea of frustration.
20. Cleveland Browns: Jameis Winston (Last Week #15)
Jameis Winston is a walking paradox. A 35-yard TD to Jeudy looked great, but two brutal interceptions erased all that goodwill. Classic Jameis.
19. Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young (Last Week #20)
Bryce Young made some clutch throws and nearly won the game late, but his deep-ball pick was a killer. Still, this was a step forward.
18. Houston Texans: C.J. Stroud (Bye) (Last Week #17)
Stroud’s sophomore slump is no joke. Teams are pressuring him more, and the mistakes are creeping in for the sophomore NFL quarterback. The expectations were sky-high, but the reality was biting.
17. San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy (Last Week #32)
Brock Purdy answered the critics with a surgical 325-yard, two-touchdown performance. If you doubted him, well, the kid just served you a slice of humble pie.
16. Pittsburgh Steelers: Russell Wilson (Last Week #13)
Russ didn’t set the stat sheet on fire, but the veteran NFL quarterback was efficient, smart, and avoided the big mistakes. Sometimes, that’s all the Steelers need.
15. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love (Last Week #12)
Jordan Love started rough but found his rhythm. He finished with 206 yards and a touchdown, keeping things steady for Green Bay.
14. Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith (Last Week #18)
Geno was clinical. No sacks, no turnovers, and one sweet TD to JSN. He just did his job, and that’s all Seattle needed.
13. Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels (Bye) (Last Week #10)
Daniels has cooled off, but Commanders fans still have plenty to be happy about. The future’s bright in D.C., and they can thank the rookie NFL quarterback for that.
12. Minnesota Vikings: Sam Darnold (Last Week #16)
Yes, that Sam Darnold. He torched Atlanta for 347 yards and five touchdowns. If this is a resurgence, it’s coming in hot.
11. Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Hurts (Last Week #6)
Hurts managed the game beautifully, even if his passing stats didn’t pop. Oh, and he found the end zone on the ground. Business as usual.
10. Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa (Last Week #11)
Tua was locked in with 331 yards and a game-winning dagger in OT. He’s getting hot at the right time.
9. Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford (Last Week #14)
Vintage Stafford. He picked apart Buffalo for 320 yards and a TD, distributing the ball like a maestro.
8. Denver Broncos: Bo Nix (Bye) (Last Week #7)
Nix is protecting the ball, making clutch throws, and looking like a frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. What more can Denver ask for from their rookie NFL quarterback?
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield (Last Week #9)
Three TDs, three turnovers. The Baker Mayfield Experience is a rollercoaster, but he got the win. That’s what counts.
6. Los Angeles Chargers: Justin Herbert (Last Week #8)
Herbert took a beating but kept fighting. He nearly stole a win from the Chiefs with 213 yards and a TD. Toughness personified.
5. Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow (Last Week #3)
Burrow’s been brilliant, but it feels like another year wasted. The star NFL quarterback deserves better than this. Still, it has to feel good for the signal caller to get another monster game under his belt, with a game-winning touchdown to Ja’Marr Chase to boot!
4. Detroit Lions: Jared Goff (Last Week #4)
Goff threw for 283 yards and three TDs, converting two critical 4th-down scores. Clutch, clutch, clutch.
3. Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes (Last Week #5)
Mahomes didn’t have gaudy stats, but the control of the game from the superstar NLF quarterback was pure magic. Clutch defined.
2. Baltimore Ravens: Lamar Jackson (Bye) (Last Week #2)
A well-deserved rest for Lamar, who’s playing MVP-level ball this year.
1. Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen (Last Week #1)
Six total touchdowns, but it still wasn’t enough. Allen’s doing everything, but Buffalo’s letting him down.
