Cody's 2024 QB Rankings

Cody’s 2024 QB Rankings

  1. (6) Sam Darnold, Dallas Cowboys

Sam Darnold has been a different animal since arriving in Dallas. He has been surrounded by a great offensive unit and it has paid off. In past years one thing kept Darnold from rising even higher on the list, turnovers. In 2023 Darnold threw 11 interceptions, easily the fewest in his career. He’s already a Super Bowl Champion and should be considered among the MVP favorites each season.

  1. (13) Baker Mayfield, Carolina Panthers

Wow, what a difference a year makes! Baker set the league on fire in 2021 but stepped back in 2022. Baker must’ve read this blog because he did exactly what the doctor ordered in 2023. Realistically, he should be higher on this list but because his interceptions were cut so drastically, I would like to see one more season before I rank him higher. After seeing the difference that Stefon Diggs made for Baker I am starting to think that Diggs, not Baker, is the most valuable player on this team.

  1. (15) Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles

What year is it? Is this 2015? Carson Wentz, where has this been man! Wentz has consistently appeared from 15-19 in our annual QB rankings. The acquisition of Michael “Slant Boy” Thomas and Will “PED” Fuller seemingly transformed Wentz back into an MVP caliber QB, something we haven’t seen since his first few years in the league. Wentz’s 35 touchdowns easily lead the league and he will look to continue to build on that in 2024.

  1. (5) Patrick Mahomes, Miami Dolphins

Patrick Mahomes had his best statistical season since his sophomore season. 4,551 yards, 32 touchdowns, 109.3 QBR. That isn’t even the best part for Dolphins fans. Mahomes completed 83% of passes with 9.3 YPA and a 122.5 QBR after the trade. He threw an absurd 22 touchdowns on only 255 attempts in Miami. That’s easily a 45-50 touchdown pace over 16 games. When was the last time we saw something like this? Oh, 2018? Patrick Mahomes? Yup, he is finally back ladies and gents. Expect Mahomes to be first on this list in 2025, he is sensational.

  1. (11) Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow took a strong leap forward in 2023, having the best season of his career. Passing wise Burrow had a similar statistical season but his completion percentage was through the roof at 82%. Burrow once again cut his interception totals. He had 8 in 2023. Burrow’s Bengals should be considered among Super Bowl favorites in 2024. If Burrow can have success in the playoffs he should only go higher.

  1. (3) Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love slides down the rankings a tad after his third season as a starter. Love’s 2023 season simply was a step below his 2022 season. Yardage was down, so was completion percentage. QBR was too but surprisingly his touchdowns went up to 28. Love still has some solid pieces around his and will look to reward the Packers for handing him a long-term extension.

  1. (14) Trey Lance, New Orleans Saints

Trey Lance is a great QB to have if you are leading. He limits turnovers and can easily use his legs. The main concern is still his arm. He only threw for 3100 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2023 but he is a Super Bowl Champion now. He due an extension next season and will need to impress the Saints front office as they look to manage their cap going forward.

  1. (1) Deshaun Watson, New England Patriots

Deshaun Watson is coming off his worst season in New England. Watson is likely much higher on this list than he should be. Watson is a two-time 1st Team All Pro and the hope is that he can return to his prior self. Keenan Allen and Deonte Harris should help do that. Watson must cut down on his alarming interception rates in 2024 for the Patriots to have success.

  1. (2) Russell Wilson, Las Vegas Raiders

Wilson, like Watson, is in this spot due to the last few seasons. While his yardage was up, interceptions doubled to 16. Touchdowns and completion percentages were down as well. Wilson is no longer in Seattle and has a toy like never before in Henry Ruggs. Expect Ruggs and Wilson to set the league on fire in 2024.

  1. (10) Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers

Purdy’s completion percentage was 68% in 2021, 74% in 2022, and 78% in 2023. Purdy has the makings of a superstar. Unfortunately, Purdy will not have an elite WR in 2024. DeAndre Hopkins walked in 2023 and A-Rob walked this season. Purdy cut his picks down by 3 this season as well. 2024 will be very telling for Purdy, the division is seemingly anyone’s game and he is due an extension.

  1. (4) Dak Prescott, New York Jets

Pode, Pode, Pode…. This is why Pode Mode is a thing. This is the definition of Pode Mode. Let’s hope that he finds a trade partner so Dak’s career isn’t continually wasted in an incompetent organization like New York.

  1. (19) Justin Fields, Denver Broncos

Justin Fields is good, like really good. Unfortunately, he his interception numbers jumped to 18 in 2023 but his touchdown numbers continue to be consistent. He threw for nearly 4,600 yards and led the Broncos on a long playoff run. Expect the Broncos and Justin Fields to improve on that next season.

  1. (8) Jalen Hurts, Los Angeles Rams

Hurts led the Rams to the playoffs again in 2023 but his numbers suffered. His rushing and passing yardage were similar to his great 2022 season but his touchdowns dropped by 40%. Hurts is an above average QB, especially with his feet but he will likely never put up high end passing numbers again.

  1. (9) Brian Sharp, Washington Football Team

Brian Sharp is really good. He should likely be top 10 once again but the jump interceptions from 9 to 17 drops his on the list slightly. 4,507 yards and 29 touchdowns once again. Sharp has the making of being a high-end franchise quarterback. Expect the Washington Football Team to return to their dominant ways in 2024.

  1. (NR) Bret Fjord, New York Jets

Bret Fjord was the #1 pick in the 2023 NFLGM Draft. Fjord showed that he struggled to adjust to NFL Defenses by fumbles like it was his job. All in all, Fjord was a solid passer with 3,500 yards, very good for a scrambler. He did limit his interceptions. It will be interesting to see how he progresses in his sophomore season.

  1. (20) Ricky Giles, New York Giants

The goat himself. Giles is arguably the second-best passer that runs consistently, behind Burrow. A 78.3% completion percentage is impressive out of anyone, especially an athlete like Giles. He ran for 833 yards but struggled with sacks and fumbles. I’m told he will be wearing some new gloves in 2024 in order to cut down on his fumbles. Expect that to help Giles soar up the rankings next season.

  1. (29) Jamie Newman, Baltimore Ravens

Wow, Jamie Newman. Who would’ve guessed! This man was the definition of trash in 2022 and suddenly he is in the Super Bowl in 2023. I think it is more about the defense and JK Dobbins but none the less, Newman deserves some respect. He will never put up big passing numbers but if he can limit the turnovers, the Ravens will always have a good shot at winning.

  1. (27) Justin Herbert, Las Angeles Chargers

He’s backkkkkk! Finally! The Chargers have missed this form of Justin Herbert for multiple seasons, since he got hurt as a rookie. He set career highs in touchdowns, yardage, and completion percentage. Herbert also led the Chargers to their best season in recent memory. If Herbert can prove this is the new norm he will push further up the rankings.

  1. (23) Pat Knapp, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Pat Knapp is looking like a competent NFL QB. His stats were rather consistent with his rookie campaign although his touchdowns went up and interceptions dropped. Knapp likely isn’t to ever be a Pro Bowler or All Pro but he might be able to put together a Joe Flacco like career.

  1. (30) Lamar Jackson, Indianapolis Colts

Lamar finally started to show what he was capable of again. Jackson threw for a career best 4,536 yards and 30 touchdowns. Lamar continues to struggle with completion percentage and interceptions. If he can find consistency, he should be able to become an elite QB again.

  1. (18) Trevor Lawrence, Detroit Lions

Trevor Lawrence continues to be okay. The Lions may have had success in 2023 but it wasn’t Trevor’s doing. The Lions have to pay Trevor soon and that should scare Lions fans. Sure, Trevor ran for 809 yards but paying a QB 30-35m a season to only pass for 3,638 yards is reason to be concerned.

  1. (7) Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Next season Murray will be back in the top 10, I promise. Three years ago, Kyler was bad…. Then he was great… and last season he was below average again. Murray’s 4100 passing yards with 500 rushing yards is impressive. 30 total touchdowns are great. 20 interceptions are not great.

  1. (28) Tua Tagovailoa, Atlanta Falcons

Tua looked like a changed man in Atlanta. After being acquire midseason, Tua put up the best season of his career. His completion percentage was 74% in ATL, TDs were up to 23, and QBR was up to 94.8, each easily career highs. Interceptions continue to plague Tua, but it appears the scenery change paid off.

  1. (17) Dwayne Haskins, Pittsburgh Steelers

A year after making great strides in Pittsburgh, Hawkins regressed in 2023. His turnovers nearly doubled with 22 interceptions. His 6.8 YPA is very alarming. If there is one plus for Haskins, his completion percentage was a career high.

  1. (NR) George Woodard, Buffalo Bills

Another year, another Bills QB. I hate to break it to Sean, but Woodard was the 6th best QB on an AFC East team last season. He only threw for 3,695 yards. Woodard ain’t it. We can only wonder how much longer it will be before the Bills invest another high pick in a linebacker and draft another mid round QB.

  1. (NR) Don Truman, Jacksonville Jaguars

Hey, Don Truman just took another sack! 80 sacks in 2023 is an insane pace, one can only wonder how many more hits Truman can take. He only threw 16 touchdowns in 2023 and simply couldn’t form a real connection with Ja’Marr Chase. Jacksonville committed a very early pick on Truman, right now he looks to have the makings of a bust.

  1. (26) Gardner Minshew, Chicago Bears

Minshew may have a great stash and wonderful style but he is holding this Bears squad back. They went 7-9 in 2023 despite having a solid defense and historic running back. The Bears need to move on from Minshew. He, like the next member of this list, is holding his squad back.

  1. (NR) Julian Osborne, Tennessee Titans

After sitting on the bench during his rookie season, Osborne got the start in his sophomore campaign. He did lead the Titans to the playoffs last season, but his turnovers leave something to be desired. Osborne is fine but will always limit the upside of this Titans squad.

  1. (16) Drew Lock, FA

2.25:1 INT:TD Ratio, Lock is done. He is exactly who we’ve always thought he was, Jameis Winston.

  1. (NR) Josh Rosen, FA

Sorry Kevin, Josh Rosen sucks, like everyone else this late on the list. Somehow, he made Henry Ruggs into a monster, but I believe that’s simply the greatness of Ruggs.

  1. (NR) Morgan Baker, Cleveland Browns

Baker won’t start in Cleveland ever again. Or will he? Maybe Tyler will put Copeland on the practice squad next preseason and name Baker the start again.

  1. (NR) Aries Cohen, Minnesota Vikings

24 interceptions, 65.2% completion percentage, 71 QBR. That’s all you need to know about Aries Cohen. He couldn’t even put up good yardage, only 3,438 yards and 11 touchdowns. He should never play a snap ever again.

  1. (NR)Tyler Huntley, FA

Halfway through the season many thought Aries Cohen was the worst QB in the league. Luckily for Cohen, Huntley showed his face again.
