NFL Quarterback Rankings Reveal Narrowing Four-Way Supremacy

The 2025 NFL quarterback rankings, compiled from surveys of executives, coaches, and scouts, highlight a fiercely competitive and historically talented group at the position. Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes remains the top quarterback but with a reduced share of first-place votes, reflecting a tightening contest among elite signal-callers. Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen, Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, and Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson have all significantly closed the gap, forming a notable four-way race characterized by generational excellence and multiple MVP awards. Despite his achievements, including two Super Bowl MVPs and leading the Philadelphia Eagles to their best era, Jalen Hurts was controversially ranked ninth, drawing criticism for being undervalued given his clutch performances and championship success. Some analysts argue that the rankings undervalue Jackson and Hurts, while others contend rankings are subjective and do not fully capture each player's impact or consistency. The upcoming NFL season, particularly the Eagles' early matchups against top quarterbacks, is expected to influence public perception and rankings further.
