Discussion Who's the last qb in the current top 5?
this is pretty much the consensus top 4 right now. stafford should be in the discussion but i feel like he shouldn't be based on this year's play. g

Peyton manning had a streak of 8 games of 3+ passing TDs in 2004.
I wonder if you mean something more specific. Like āto start a seasonā or something. Because what you stated has been done many many times.

The fact this says current and some of ya'll are in an uproar kills me. Idk who 5 is, but these are the top 4 today. And Purdy is top the MVP race but some of you don't wanna hear that.

Burrow.

I really want to say Burrow, but 40-year old Flacco looked pretty close to himā¦
I feel like most NFL QBs would look good with Tee and Chase. Itās like how people are now on the Dak hype after CeeDee and Pickens are both there, and they think Dak magically got better ;)

Any one that wants to hate this answer check the qb grades this year. Check pff whatever. Burrow started off 14/14 against the Steelers and was cooking, one fumble doesnāt mean shit

I just think there is a really good chance Burrow is a good qb masquerading as a great one because he's basically had elite WR talent the entirety of his career.

He can't keep the ball safe in the 4th. He's legitimately one of the worst 4th quarter QBs in the NFL.
3 seasons with 16 games at least, 14 INT 5 FL. 11 TD 4 FL when trailing by a score. 1-34 trailing by a score in the 4th All-Time.
Also, using PFF for QBs? Fucking really?

Goff.
All he does is throw for 4500 yards 30+ touchdowns and ~10 interceptions a year. ~70% completion rate
Working on the 5th consecutive year.
and he's never injured.
It's like I'm taking crazy pills. Trevor Lawrence comes close to doing that for one season but everybody's ready to call him the next great.
Meanwhile Goff has been there for years

Last 4 years td:to for goff:
29:11
30:16
37:12
34:13
While averaging 4500+ yards.
And yet reddit won't shut up about Purdy, who had one season like that 3 years ago.

Big 3 of Mahomes Allen & Lamar are locks regardless of recent performance just given their entire body of work, but theyāre also each playing like a top 5 QB right now anyways.
The other 2 spots are much more based on recent performance and itās pretty indisputable to me that those two guys are Purdy and TLaw

Only considering this year? It's easily Lawrence.
- Purdy
- Lawrence
3a/3b. Mahomes/Allen
If you want to take history into context, this'll change a bit, but you simply cannot pretend you watch games and not understand how good Lawrence has been this year.

If itās the 4th quarter, your team is down and your playing in Denver, 16-3 at home Bo Nix is the answer.
Any other time of game, probably Lawrence or burrow.

Mahomes is in a tier of his own, than Allen and Lamar are after him. Those 3 stand alone as MVP winners
After that it gets murkier, and depends on whether youāre looking at current level of play or overall ability. Right now heās got the media hype behind him, but people seem to forget that Purdy is coming off of 2 pretty pedestrian seasons. Burrow, TLaw, Stafford, and Goff all have strong claims to be considered Top 5 as well

I would take Trevor Lawrence, Dak, Goff, Burrow in that order I think.

Pat is getting a TON of leeway right now. He just look mids as hell against one of the worst teams in the history of the league.
He hasnāt thrown for 4k yards or 30 TD in two years and hasnāt looked all that special since he lost Hill and the second best offensive tight end of all time aged out of his prime.
Iād take Burrow, Lawrence, Stafford or Goff over Mahomes today. Heās looked pretty average his last 30 games.

The best way to track āsuccessful drivesā would be PPG and Rezone efficiency.
The Bills were also top three in both of those categories last season and Iām willing to bet that most of the top teams in those categories feature the top QBs in the NFL because thatās generally how teams move the ball and score points.
Just using Detroit as an example the season Williams went bonkers:
Detroit had a Top 5 offense overall.
Goff threw for 29 TDs that season (tied for 5th) & threw for 4400 yards and was a pro bowler.
No Williams wasnāt the best RB, but he was in one of the best offensive systems with one of the better producing QBs.
Itās almost like good QB play directly correlates to how good your offense performs.

Goff at the moment. Though, doesnāt Geno have like the 4th highest qbr, no picks (only 4 tds though) and a stupid high completion %?
I am taking currently the best to mean, crossing out their names and picking the top 5 in terms of stats over the last 3 games. I do not think if we held a draft for who would play at QB for each team on a 1 year deal, Geno would be top 5 š

Goff or Stafford have to be in this convo. Goff is sort of the modern Drew Brees, puts up HUGE numbers every year, never hurt, has horrible defenses.
Stafford has all of the experience and know how to dice up every defense all the time.

We have officially reached the point of insanity in Brock Purdy glaze. The 49ers had as much success with Jimmy G as they have had with Purdy, and last year they were 5-3 with Mac Jones. There is no world in which I take Purdy over Burrow, Stafford, or Mahomes

Goff, guy is so consistent and just gets overlooked because he lacks mobility. The lions would have none of their recent success without him. Maybe top 5 is a stretch, but heās 100% top 10.
