Cowherd's top 10 QB's

[Huckleberry1]

If the criteria is production, durability, and career momentum, how is Mahomes #2? Mahomes' production has been declining for the last three years. His stats have been pedestrian the last two years. He is obviously one of the best QBs in the league, but based on this criteria, I wouldn't put him in the top 5. Plus he has some durability concerns now that he is over 30 and coming off a major injury combined with his style of play.

Maye is too low based on this criteria. Willaims is too high. Stafford is too high since he is likely in his last year and still has significant back concerns which would probably knock him out of the top 10. Burrow's lack of durability should knock him down a lot too.

It seems like Cowherd made a set a criteria to follow and then just made a ranking based on a separate criteria that doesn't seem to be consistent.

Agree completely, his list is incoherent. It's not best career, it's not best currently, and it's not predictive of who should be the best QB this coming season. As usual it's a total fail by Cowherd.

he's not dumb....look at his job making millions spewing nonsense but he is a perfectly harmless, self important dope full of his own ********. he speaks as if he knows something. great job if you can get it.

Caleb may be on his way to greatness but him at 3 or anywhere above Maye is a joke.

I feel alot of people will have Drake in the 6-8 range and i think its pretty fair. Another year like last year or in the ballpark should move him into the top 5

I understand what Cowherd's doing. There's a lot of dead NFL airtime after the Draft.
So, it's list time. "Best QB's" is as good a list as any.

Mahomes, Stafford and Darnold are the only QB's on that list who've won a ring.
Burrow and Maye both made it to the big game.
So, there's that.

Josh Allen gets the "Dan Marino Lifetime Achievement Award," but never won his Conference.

I have a Brady frame of mind: Mahomes is the only one on that list who's won three times, so he belongs at the top as long as he's playing or until someone else still playing does the same.

Beyond Mahomes and Allen, you can shake and stir the list in almost any way you want...and maybe add a couple of others.
All that really matters is who's still standing after the clock runs out on the last game in February.

The simple fact drake was #2 in the MVP conversation and was an all pro and led the league in competition % in 2025 comparison to Caleb and Stafford who have elite players around them.. still took his team to the superbowl.. Drake is a top 5 QB right now and with another stellar season will only climb up from there.. all he needs is continued seasoning.
