Thought this would be a fun exercise. We all have opinions on different guys. Instead of using this thread to disagree with someone else’s list, go on record ranking the QBs how you see it as of today. Here’s mine: 
 

1. Allen

2. Lamar

3. Burrow

4. Mahomes

5. Daniels

6. Hurts

7. Stafford

8 Baker

9. Herbert

10. Dak

11. Stroud

12. Goff

13. Love

14. Nix

15. Purdy

16. Geno

You know what's enjoyable?  Having a top QB for the first time in forever, and not really caring about where he, or anyone else ranks

 

Because on any given day - no matter who's on the other sideline, he can put our team on his shoulders and lead us to a championship

No offense, but unless this is a fantasy football ranking, there are definitely not 3 QB's who are better QB's than Mahomes.  Its one thing to play with the Allen or Mahomes thing at 1 and 2...but to put Mahomes 4th is a bit over the top.

Ward way too high. That may be where he ends up by the end of the year...but ranking a guy that has never taken an NFL snap in the high 20s is too high IMO.

Can you blame him... people make fun of the Browns QB situation, but most Saints fans are probably envious of it...

Fair and figured that would be controversial. Over the last 2 years, all 3 have been better IMO. It was so hard for me to put him there but those guys have been better for 2 years. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Chris Simms just did his top 40 QB countdown. This was his top 10:

 

Here's where I'm at, entirely based on their play right now not on their career. I put a line in between what I consider to be a significant drop off from one tier to the next.

 

1) Allen

2) Jackson

3) Mahomes

4) Burrow

-----

5) Stafford

6) Daniels

7) Stroud

8 ) Herbert

9) Goff

10) Mayfield

-----

11) Hurts

12) Murray

13) Prescott

14) Geno

15) Love

16) Nix

17) Tua

18) Purdy

19) Lawrence

20) Rodgers

-----

21) Maye

22) Darnold

23) Daniel Jones

24) Young

25) Penix

26) Wilson

27) Caleb Williams

28) Fields

-----

29) Ward

30) McCarthy

31) Browns QBs

32) Saints QBs

Actually Mahomes being #4 is not so controversial. Because it's based on how they're playing right now, not their career achievements. Chris Simms ranked Mahomes #4 in his list, Joe Marino did a QB ranking recently and also had Mahomes #4. It's kind of undeniable that the other top 3 are playing at least at his level or higher. For me Allen and Jackson clearly were the two best QBs last year, Burrow and Mahomes I could place in either order. I gave Mahomes the edge because he has that uncanny ability to pull out a close game at the end. But his overall play last year would have lost more games for both the Ravens and Bills IMO.

Over the last 3 yrs Mahomes has also knocked those 3 guys from the title game. That’s gotta count for something.

It doesn't have to count for anything. QBs have a lower impact on single game wins than most fans think. They're probably worth like 30% or less of the team's overall success. Which of course makes them by far the most important player on the team, but the rest of the team taken as a whole is still more impactful. This is the same line of thinking that makes a lot of Eagles fans argue to the death that Hurts is a top 5 QB, but when you watch him play there is a clear drop off.
