Josh Allen has a brother who is his best friend named Jason who has a degree in Agriculture Business and has supported him his entire career. He has two athletic sisters (one pro) and another who works for the freakin' Leukemia and Lymphoma society to help save people's lives. They all seem like wonderful people. 

Patrick Mahomes has an (alleged) sexual assaulting, clout-chasing, obnoxious and often disrespectful brother who constantly provides unnecessary distractions and criticism toward his family. Mahomes has single handedly had to shoulder that burden his entire career.

Pretty obvious Allen has had a much better situation to work with during his career.

Hate having to ruin my joke with /sarcasm but I'm afraid it won't be obvious enough to some readers lol.

😂 that was good

Cousins at 22 is absurd. Leaving him out of the top 10 is (probably) wrong.. but him not even being top 20? Ridiculous stuff lol.

Been meaning to take a crack at this, finally have some time. These are not based on just 2023. The tiers represent a gap in quality, and QBs within a tier are guys whose rankings I'd expect to change within a season.

Adding a wrinkle to these rankings and that is a confidence level, where italics = not very confident, usually due to small sample size or age/injury. Normally wouldn't even bother rankings players with less than at least ~20 starts in the last 3 years, but the game here is to rank the 32 starters so I will play. 

 

I'll add that QB play in 2023 is the worst I've seen in awhile. Not long ago it was hard to make top 10 lists because there were 12+ good QBs and you didn't want to leave anyone out. Opposite problem these days. Starting with tier 3 you have QBs who can look pretty mediocre on any given Sunday.

 

Tier 1
1. Patrick Mahomes

Tier 2
2. Josh Allen
3. Justin Herbert
4. Joe Burrow
5. Matthew Stafford

Tier 3
6. Trevor Lawrence
7. Jalen Hurts
8. Kirk Cousins
9. Lamar Jackson
10. Tua Tagovailoa
11. Dak Prescott

Tier 4
12. Brock Purdy (the toughest QB to rank by far. What he's doing I firmly believe a solid ~15 or so QBs could do, however, A) no way to prove that and B) he has yet to give any real reason to doubt him besides lacking flashy physical abilities)
13. Jared Goff
14. Geno Smith
15. Sam Howell
16. Baker Mayfield
17. Russell Wilson
18. CJ Stroud

Tier 5
19. Deshaun Watson
20. Derek Carr
21. Ryan Tannehill
22. Josh Dobbs
23. Daniel Jones
24. Justin Fields

Tier 6
25. Jimmy G
26. Gardner Minshew
27. Mac Jones
28. Jordan Love
29. Kenny Pickett
30. Desmond Ridder
31. Bryce Young
32. Zach Wilson

Allen leads the NFL in touchdowns and completion % so I'd probably have him higher than 5 but I'm also a Bills fan lol.
