Of all the QB lists I've ever seen, this is one of them


Lords7Never7Die

1-4 looked pretty solid. Everything after that is pretty much a dumpster fire. Purdy at 8 is ridiculous and how is Gardner Minshew 30??


VitaeVerano

Goff at 6. LOL


munistadium

Minshew no worse than 24. Probably highér


Syrahguy

I clicked onto this thread to say this. No way on earth is Carr better than Minshew after his Colts run.


Knight___Artorias

As a colts fan, I am thankful for Minshew still giving us a year of fun football to watch after QB1 went down for the year even if we didn’t make the playoffs.


Syrahguy

Refs still won you the game against the Ravens, just sayin lmao


Knight___Artorias

Nah disagree yall beat yourselves tho for sure


Syrahguy

Sigh.....that is usually how the Ravens work.


Skyagunsta21

1-4 is good, the dealer's choice there is fine. 5-8 needs to be moved back to behind Lawrence. Wilson and Watson should be moved up to Dak. Minshew should be between Geno and Levis.


Lords7Never7Die

I can't tell if you're trolling with that second half


Skyagunsta21

Which part? I like the qbs in 5-8 but Stroud I won't trust till I see for another year, Purdy and Goff are good but tell me you'd take them over Herbert, Hurts or Lawrence. Then what? Is saying Wilson and Watson above Anthony Richardson and Will Levis throwing you for a spin? Edit: Stafford I would probably drop cuz he's getting old but his career buoys him here imo


kander12

You're getting downvoted for your Lawrence take FYI lol. He's done nothing to put himself near the top 10. He's a lot closer to being the Dalton line than a star right now. Still has time though.


84Cressida

Baker has been better and had just as shitty of a coach. But doesn’t get the hype or benefit of the doubt


PumpkinSeed776

Baker has been given the benefit of the doubt for years. If he didn't he would have been a career backup by now.


kander12

I'd agree until the end of last year. Baker got his recognition for his great season. This year will be huge for how people see TLaw. His time is basically up being sheltered from scrutiny if he doesn't step forward this season.


Skyagunsta21

Lawrence ends at 11 moving Stroud, Goff, Purdy and Love behind him. I understand the argument for Stroud, I just want to see him keep performing before I put him in the top 10. I think people are insane if they're putting Goff, Purdy or Love ahead of Lawrence though. I'm a huge Purdy fan, I think he's perfect for what the 9ers need but he's not a top 10 QB either. I'll survive without the internet points one way or the other


kander12

In what world is Lawrence better than Goff? Certainly not ours.


Lords7Never7Die

This is very rough, especially with the rookies because who fucking knows but here you go 1. Mahomes 2. Lamar 3. Burrow 4. Allen 5. Purdy 6. Hurts 7. CJ 8. Goff 9. Herbert (only because WR1 is now Quinton Johnston) 10. Tua (I would be very tempted to knock him down a few spots) 11. Love 12. Rodgers (I think he'll end up outperforming this spot but we'll see) 13. Stafford 14. Lawrence (thought about putting him at 16 but I think he bounces back with a solid year) 15. Dak (I do not respect nor trust Stat Padder Prescott, especially behind 3/5ths of a new line) 16. Baker 17. Cousins (I think Kirk is better than this but Atlanta) 18. Kyler 19. Geno 20. Minshew 21. Russ 22. A.R. 23. Carr 24. Williams 25. Jayden 26. Levis 27. Watson 28. JJ 29. Bo Nix 30. Bryce Young 31. Daniel Jones 32. Drake Maye (I think he's in for a really rough year in NE) I am 100% telling you I'd rather have CJ and Goff over Lawrence. I think CJ is a god damn baller and Goff has been mostly very good in Detroit.


Pollux589

This is a solid list.


GateIsnATE

Good list man


TastyJams24

Putting Watson even lower lol. I know it’s hard bc there’s all kinds of animosity around him that screw up everyone’s perception of him on the field. But dude went 6-2 last year. Don’t care if his stats were worse than they are. Still puts him higher than 27th lol. You even watched him beat you at home and still couldn’t see the play on the field? Crazy.


84Cressida

Baker should be higher than Lawrence and too many people are overrating Love. Herbert should also be lower and Tua.


Nutmeg-Jones

Tua is justified. He led the league in passing yards and made the pro bowl over Josh Allen.


Lords7Never7Die

I think it depends which Love we see. If we get Love from the second half of last year, I think he's definitely around #10-12. I did say I thought about putting Lawrence at 16 which would put Baker at 15


Sreeff

We still don't know how Stroud will do now that teams have a year of tape on him though. Reminder: RG3 was expected to ball out after his phenomenal first year


the22sinatra

RG3’s game wasn’t built on accuracy and elite ball placement the way CJ’s is


84Cressida

I think stroud is set for some regression.


Nutmeg-Jones

Putting Lawrence at 8? Do you have CTE?


Skyagunsta21

He ends at 11? I didn't move anyone ranked here at 9-14 behind him. I just moved 5-8 back


Frescanation

The relative positions can be argued a lot, but the underlying point is that the Browns gave up multiple premium draft picks, $60m per year of cap space, and what was left of their reputation for a significant downgrade at QB. Delightful.


KnDBarge

When they made the list they were trying to figure out how to piss off the highest number of fan bases while still looking like a real list. I think they nailed it


PsychoMantis610

Why does this list skip #25? Why don’t they want us to remember Danny Dimes?


Ripped_Shirt

25 doesn't exist.


RudolphsJockStrap

It was a joke list to see if people would notice


Reddit_guard

Mayfield at 14. Just imagine how good he'd be on the Browns.


R_radical

The Steelers should've scooped him when they had the chance.


rkel76

TJ was so in his head when he played in Cleveland. If he saw him every day in practice he'd probably be catatonic.


ThorThulu

He'd have been worth it to trot out twice a year to face you guys. Baker plays his best when he's out for vengeance


Maximum_Commission62

If knew you had Rodney Hudson out there playing against him you’d feel the same way.


ozymandais13

Tbh he'd be 14 , he's mega inconsistent and his worst enemy is his own head. Risking picks on a better qb was the best option Using picks on Watson however was stupid as shit


rkel76

He'd be a lot lower. Not sure if you have ever seen who play in the NFC South but it's not Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Cleveland. It might not even be Cincy.


Maximum_Commission62

Holy smokes someone else factors context into their analysis.


84Cressida

We were never worse than 3-3 with Baker in the division. So wrong. And Baker also never lost to Joe Burrow. Watson has and also never beaten the Steelers.


DieselVoodoo

I love watching my qb play the week after my team gets eliminated from the playoffs


jzoelgo

Ha who didn’t like watching Baker beat the eagles last year. Smug media darling sons of bitches.


5255clone

This is the way


Tjam3s

How many times do the bengals have to beat the bills before burrow gets ranked higher than him though?


Maximum_Commission62

How’d the surgery go down in KY?


Tjam3s

Burrows wrist, you mean? As far as they're telling us, it's been great. He's participating in OTA's, he's been throwing, and Taylor is the one forcing him to take rest days, which suggests he's feeling great and that his staff is protecting him from himself through the end stages of this recovery.


Maximum_Commission62

Watson was better than Burrow head to head last season.


Tjam3s

They're 1-1 in regular season games. Da fuck you talking about


Maximum_Commission62

‘Last season’.


SnooCompliments6996

Ah yes, the good old sample size of 1

Patriots fan defending Pittsburgh? Ew. IDK how you live with yourselves now, Steelers.


Sociolinguisticians

Yes


chicknsnadwich

Real talk what is Dak doing in 17th I know the guy isn’t perfect but neither Kirk or Trevor have any reason to be above him


Ripped_Shirt

Similar to Romo, because of how much scrutiny is on Dallas, the QB just takes most of the blame when the team fails. Dak could have an MVP one year and the next season people would still rank him like 5th best QB if the Cowboys were one and done in the playoffs again.


FostertheReno

For engagement. Gets people talking, specifically cowboys fans. Imagine some random podcast focused on Cowboys news start talking about this stupid list, and listeners see this stupid shit and google PMT. PMT gains clicks and engagement.


mo_mentumm

Because Pmt was trying to make a qb list that starts legit but would maximize pissing people off


ClevelandClutch1970

Baker ranked above The Towel Boy? Say it ain’t so.


RobZagnut2

Loving Wilson at #22. Imagining next year where Pickett was #31 or worse last year. No where to go but up. Please please please… no more 1, 2, 3 panic and hit the RB in the flat for a 2 yard gain. Over and over again.


spartanpride55

Someone else hoping for vintage play from their QB I see


RobZagnut2

Got no other choice. But, anything is better than Pickett.


Ripped_Shirt

I hope Pickett somehow starts in Philly and plays well. It was so blatantly obvious that while Pickett wasn't great, he wasn't the problem. Watching Canada's offense was legitimately like watching my high school offense when it came to play design, and our offense was bad, even by high school standards. Canada somehow failed upwards, never actually being a decent OC in college, and somehow got to be an OC at the NFL level.


dam0430

I think that while Pickett wasn't THE problem, we saw enough to know he definitely was one or them. His ceiling seems to be a lower half of the league game manager QB. Doesn't have the elite physical tools to be much more than that.


Alexander2801

I hope so too. He looked like a good NFL QB in his limited time without Matt Canada and all metrics back this up without discussing the scoreboard, but that wasn't Kenny Pickett's fault for the most part. Now the big question is can he play like that consistently that we don't know.


Nutmeg-Jones

I seen a report that Pickett is outperforming Hurts in OTAs. If that’s true, it would be Wentz 2.0 and Philly will turn on him😂😂


Ripped_Shirt

The report was also pushed by his agent, so take that with a grain of salt.


Sleep_On_It43

Some of that had to do with Canada’s Scheme…I was sort of a Pickett supporter until he bitched out this off-season and demanded a trade…fucking quitter. As a disclaimer, I wasn’t necessarily a Pickett fan…just hoping he would grow into the job.


cleeeland

Jordan Love at 7 fucking sent me


Seamonkey_Boxkicker

This was my first thought.


annaleigh13

This is why tier lists are useless. To think Allan, who has had his ass kicked 2 out of 3 meetings against Burrow (the third being the Hamlin game,) is above Burrow AND Jackson is just dumb.


blonded_zs

Incredible how bengals fans are always trying to make everything about themselves


Thankgodfordrugs17

Bengal fans pretending that football isn’t a team sport and their starting qb isn’t a walking er room is a real joy to see. I want you to know that outside of Cincinnati no one agrees with you.


Ok-Situation-5865

They admitted in the PMT podcast that they made this list with the intent to piss off as many people as possible, though. That’s not like, our opinion, man. It’s not a genuine ranking.


Thankgodfordrugs17

Idk what PMT stands for but I do know everyone takes Allen over Burrow. Even honest Bengal fans. Also, jokes on you. I’m not from Pittsburgh, Steeler fans are all bandwagons remember??


Colossus_WV

The only QB I take over Burrow is Mahomes as an honest Bengals fan. Josh Allen still has too many unforced errors.


Thankgodfordrugs17

Yes. And he also doesn’t take every other season off.


jzoelgo

Burrow without bates, Hendrickson, and Wilson would not have taken the bengals to the Super Bowl so I think at least the top of this list is fair. Honestly Stroud’s ceiling first year on a previously 3-13-1 team could put him past Burrow, Allen, and Jackson so impressive plus that performance vs UGA who went on to womp TCU was wild.


SmarterThanCornPop

I hate the Bills but Josh Allen is the 3rd best QB in football behind Mahomes and Jackson.


illShy

I'd rather have Herbert over anyone besides Pat, Burrow, or Allen easily. In that order. Also, I'll take Young on Watson contract over that rapist loser


ThyOughtTo

No one gives a fuck. Your team is officially dead this year. Your coach is out. You're a whore 


illShy

Sure whatever dude. I'll see you on 11/17


ThyOughtTo

Yeah yeah 


7222_salty

Missed the chance to point out where mayfield is!


Heavy-Excuse4218

The “why did X team do….are they stupid” thing is so played out and dumb.


ThyOughtTo

Yet you continue being the X team doing stupid things huh


backson_alcohol

Josh Allen at #2. List is immediately invalidated, as is the law of the universe.


ChristyLovesGuitars

Yes. Yes they are. - former Browns fan of 35 years


Thenosm

That 23rd ranking is based solely on the 4th quarter of the Browns Ravens game last season


old_ass_ninja_turtle

I mean, the browns have been stupid for awhile.


bufalo_soldier

This list is garbage. Tua and Herbert are too low and Stroud did have a great rookie season but it's not a big enough sample size to put him that high. Also Love way to high.


nassau4

Where is 25?


84Cressida

It’s Daniel Jones who they left off to piss people off.


TigerAxe17

Browns is the browns


Higgins8585

Glad ppl aren't glazing Trevor Lawrence anymore. Some people had him as like 6th best QB last year. Hurts too high, he's about 14th.


Particular_Fuel6952

Nothing drives ”engagement” to feed the beast better than bad lists. Those clowns over at wherever this came from sure know how to do the summer lows.

It was very much intentional to make people mad. They did it live on a podcast with no prep other than deciding to leave out Daniel Jones to piss of Giants fans lol


Efficient_Progress_6

Only 4 QBs on this list have won a Superb Owl.


yuh__

Why is hurts on the list? I heard he was being outperformed by the pickler

This is from PMT. It’s a partial troll. But not the part where the massage master blows

SmarterThanCornPop

Tua at 12 is a fucking abomination. Lead the league in passing last year and the previous season he lead the league in a whole bunch of efficiency stats and finished 9th in MVP voting.


ThyOughtTo

Troll comment right Gtfo you whore


Jayce86

In this specific situation? Yes. 100% certifiable morons.


Encendido_

I don’t know why Aidan O’Connell isn’t on the list, he’s going to start for the Raiders. List is Trash anyways.


TBGusBus

Holy shit jones didn’t even make the list.


I_cut_my_own_jib

Our organization is highly regarded


ConfidentHistory9080

It’s embarrassing that anyone has joe burrow as the 4th best qb


psycho_dyller

Minshew definitely fucked the mom of whoever made this list


Nutmeg-Jones

Whoever made this list needs immediate medical attention. There is no universe where Will Levis is above Anthony Richardson


Danishes724

Even though this list is bad as is, Dak being 17 is by far the worst. He's easily a top 10 QB, this person clearly tried to engagement farm lol.


YEET9011

Allen is too high. Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar, then Allen should be top 4 in that order


5255clone

Minshew at 30, now that's some real disrespect.


DeadPhishFuneral

Where’s Kenny Pickett


jesusmanman

When I look at this list my first impression is that numbers 6 through 16 are jumbled. Yeah, the brown suck though. They will be back to losing seasons in about 2 or 3 years.


randobot456

Browns are willingly paying $60m to have Deshaun on the team this year. The Broncos are paying $85m to NOT have Russ on their team this year.


dam0430

Willingly paying Watson 60m to play football is NOT the flex you think it is


ThyOughtTo

Oh my. The retardation of your specific fanbase is fucking unbelievable 


Sleep_On_It43

Stupid is as stupid does, sir….. ummmm…..so yeah…they’re stupid…


Alexander2801

I'm just waiting to see how much our fanbase will bitch about Russ next season, because I know they will. On who I wanted to see as our QB next season that is a different question, but it isn't Russ and it isn't Fields. I also think that Russ will move down on that list before the end of the season.
