The 2025 NFL season is on the horizon, and elite quarterback play remains the foundation of success in today’s league.
From dynamic dual-threats to cerebral pocket passers, these quarterbacks are the key drivers of their teams’ Super Bowl hopes.
Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 NFL quarterbacks for 2025, complete with performance highlights and offensive weapons.
1. Josh Allen – Buffalo Bills
The reigning 2024 NFL MVP, Allen threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns while adding 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing TDs—making him the most versatile and dominant quarterback in the league.
Allen leads a high-powered offense with Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman poised to step up.
His physical tools and play-making ability make him the top QB entering 2025.
2. Lamar Jackson – Baltimore Ravens
Jackson was nearly unstoppable in 2024, tossing 41 touchdown passes and rushing for over 900 yards.
His chemistry with Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and Rashod Bateman elevates Baltimore’s offense, while his improvision and athleticism continue to frustrate defenses.
Jackson remains the most explosive dual-threat quarterback in the NFL.
3. Joe Burrow – Cincinnati Bengals
After leading the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and touchdowns (43) last season, Burrow continues to thrive with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
His accuracy, anticipation, and leadership make him one of the most reliable quarterbacks in football—especially in big moments.
4. Patrick Mahomes – Kansas City Chiefs
Even with a slight dip in production, Mahomes remains a generational talent.
With Travis Kelce aging and Xavier Worthy having an uneven year receiving, rookie Jalen Royals may emerge as his next go-to weapon.
Mahomes’ creativity and command of Andy Reid’s system still make Kansas City a contender.
5. Dak Prescott – Dallas Cowboys
Prescott started the first eight games of the 2024 season, before a season-ending injury.
The lack of a running game and a receiver not named CeeDee Lamb did not help Dak Prescott in the eight games played.
Now with head coach Brian Schottenheimer and a revamped offense that includes CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Prescott is in a strong position to return to MVP form in 2025.
6. Jayden Daniels – Washington Commanders
The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns, while rushing for 891 yards and six TDs.
With weapons like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, Daniels enters 2025 as one of the league’s most exciting young stars.
7. Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers
Herbert threw for 23 touchdowns to just three interceptions in 2024 under Jim Harbaugh’s leadership.
Despite turnover and wide receiver, his arm strength, pocket poise, and decision-making remain elite.
He’s the centerpiece of a resurgent Chargers squad.
8. Brock Purdy – San Francisco 49ers
Purdy’s efficiency and poise continue to shine in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
Surrounded by Christian McCafery, George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk, he’s one of the most consistent performers at the position—and now among the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks.
9. Baker Mayfield – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mayfield had a career-best 2024 with 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns while rushing for 378 yards and three rushing touchdowns.
His chemistry with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, along with his renewed confidence, has revitalized his career and kept Tampa Bay firmly in playoff talks in 2025.
10. Jalen Hurts – Philadelphia Eagles
A down year in 2024, Hurts had 2,903 passing yards and 18 touchdowns to go with 630 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. The one area he was elite was in rushing touchdowns.
With the right adjustments, he could quickly climb back into MVP conversations.
Quarterbacks Rule the League (Except for the Eagles)
The 2025 NFL season will once again be shaped by its top quarterbacks.
Whether it’s MVP’s like Allen and Jackson or ascending quarterbacks like Daniels and Purdy, these 10 signal-callers are set to light up the league—and the scoreboard.

List was trash when you put dak 5th. Gtfoh with that delusional homerism
Sorry, Fact is Jayden Daniels, Mahomes and Jackson are the real top 3. No question about that!!!
Like the top three. But WOW Cody, DP at number 5?!?! Amazing. PFF has him at 17.
Unfortunately for the fans, the Cowboys’ Front Office think they have the best QB in the NFL. They certainly paid him that way, which is probably one of the worst ROI deals ever. He gets paid better than every other QB in the league.
Heard a very interesting stat on the 60 million dollar player the other day which is very indicative of him AND this Front Office. Former All Pro Cowboy WR Dez Bryant in 2012, 2013, 2014 with Romo at QB had 1400, 1200, 1300 receiving yards with 12, 13, 16 TDs respectively. Then when DP took over in 2016 and 2017, his numbers DROPPED drastically to 800, 800 with 8 and 6 TDs respectively. This is when the dysfunctional/delusional Cowboy brass came up with nonsensical notion that Dez could NOT run routes well enough anymore??? and CUT him. Unfortunately for Dez he had an Achilles injury the next year when he was picked up by the Saints and that pretty much retired him. He had a GREAT injury shortened career non-the-less.
Look DP has had great supporting cast around him in the past. But every year it’s something else, another excuse. Well now it sounds like with the addition of Pickens, he should have more than enough. But at the end of the year, with no playoff win, the apologists will clamor for another excuse for the failure to produce PS results.
If I’m wrong, I will eat crow. But probably won’t have to as his sample size of play is too big to ignore.
I agree with this list…. Except Dak should be ahead of Lamar!! Or Lamar should be further down the list!! I know a lot of people won’t like it, but I really don’t care what other people think!! In 2023 when Dak finished runner up for the MVP award, I think he was robbed!! Lamar ended up winning it, but that year, Dak was better than him in every way that can be thought of, except running with the ball, which is what Lamar is best at, that’s why teams wanted to draft him as a RB, not a QB!! But other than running the ball, Dak was way better than him and should’ve won MVP that year, but that’s how the NFL works…. It’s only about who they like more not who played better!! And like I said, people won’t like my comment, and it’s cause every time something goes wrong for a team, they blame it on the QB, but I know it’s a team game and it takes a whole team to win, not just the QB, that’s why I can look at the list and agree that Dak deserves to be that high!! I know the 8 games he played last year wasn’t good, but he didn’t have any help, he had Ceedee and that was it!! He was constantly running for his life cause the offensive line couldn’t hold up, he didn’t have a RB to help him his TE was injured most of the season and that left only Ceedee to help him!! A team can’t win when there’s only 2 players on the offense that can make any plays!! But I think this year will be different…. If Dak stays healthy, and the rest of the team can stay healthy we shouldn’t have a problem having a winning season with Dak at QB!!
And that’s another thing I wanted to mention…. All these so called EXPERTS are saying we have a team that’s about as good as last year, and they think we won’t have a winning season because of it!! But they don’t realize that we would’ve had a winning season last year too if it wasn’t for all of the injuries!! We were playing with 3rd string offensive linemen, we didn’t have a running game at all, we were playing with half of the defense coming from the practice squad and we had Cooper Rush at QB for half the season, and I don’t care what anybody says, he is not a good QB!! He only won the games he won cause of our defense!! If our defense didn’t hold teams to under 20 points, he wouldn’t have won any of those games!! But anyways, that’s what we were playing with last season!! There’s no way we were gonna win with all them problems!! This year our team is better and we’re getting back a lot of our injured players from last season, so we’ll win more games than last year for sure!! But like I said, that’s if we can stay healthy!!
Excuse me Cowboys fan, I’m not sure, but are you the poster who always bashed Kellen Moore, saying he was the problem. Well, he did pretty good with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense, winning the Super Bowl.
