LolI'll just do top 12
1. Brady
2. Mahomes
3. Brees
4. Wilson
5. Ryan
6. Rivers
7. Luck
8. Rodgers
9. Goff
10. Watson
11. Prescott
12. Mayfield
With Goff and Watson being top 10Where do you disagree most ?
I would put Dak, Wentz, Mayfield and probably even Newton in front of Watson and GoffInteresting . 8-12 or so is really close imo but id think most would have those 2 top 10. Maybe top 12

Right which is way I wouldnt put Goff in the top 10Goff is in line with Mahommes. Both proved they have talent last season, they just need to prove they can perform consistently. One good year does not make a QB elite. Unless Mrs. Chaney is watching you play.
My top five...
Rodgers/Green Bay
Rodgers/Green Bay

Keenum/Haskins at 23 seems pretty bold. I thought Keenum was one of the worst QBs in the league last year.@Across The Field what's funny about my rankings? Curious of your rating.

Mahomes at #8 is interesting because he has already beat your team 3 times so some might see it as homerish. I don't think thats a terrible ranking, though, because you could argue that he is in for regression because we don't have a massive sample size.
On the other end, though, Brady and Brees might be in for regression because of their age. As such, these rankings are pretty silly as a whole to even do because when the old guys fall off a cliff, its going to be pretty steep. Until then, though, I agree with the consensus that you respect what they've done and rank them at and near the top.
I can get being hesitant on Mahomes for a small sample size but then you turn around and say Keenum is legit because of one year while ignoring the other 4+ years where he played like a backup.Keenum proved in Minnesota that with decent enough coaching, he can manage a game well enough. He didn't have decent coaching in Denver.
Mahommes I'm hesitant to put higher. Part of that is he's a rival, but part of it is I want to see him prove he is legit. The 10th game Colin Kaepernick ever started was a Super Bowl. He was out of the league just a few short years later. If Patrick can prove last year was who he really is on a cosistnent basis, he'll have the #1 spot on these lists for a good long while.
And I was really hesitant to put a lot of the older guys on this list so high as well. Brees I wanted to put lower, Ben, Rodgers, Rivers. I just don't see a whole lot of younger talent being at these guys level, at least when these guys were in their prime. So their rankings are for services rendered while the young guys continue to develop.
And until Brady misses a Super Bowl, he's still No. 1 as far as I can see.
1. Brady - Still a good QB, but if this is a ranking of just QBs for the season, he's not #1. He didn't come close to leading the league in any category last year. Admittedly, he's the GOAT, but he's not the best QB in the NFL anymore.@Across The Field what's funny about my rankings? Curious of your rating.

Redskins literally thought he was too mediocre to pay.19. Cousins - 70% comp, 30 TD, 10 INT, 4300 yards, the guy is a top 10 QB.
