With Week 6 in the books, the NFL quarterback landscape continues to be a rollercoaster of triumphs and struggles. Some signal-callers are solidifying their status as elite playmakers, while others are grappling with inconsistency, injuries, or benchings. From breakout second-year stars to veteran steadiness and disappointing stints under center, here’s a look at how all 32 starting QBs rank in our LR-QB metric.

32. Cooper Rush, Ravens

LR-QB Score: 53.4

Cooper Rush struggled mightily in his brief stint as Baltimore’s starter, managing just 72 passing yards in Week 6 and throwing four interceptions over two games. Once seen as a reliable backup, extended playing time has exposed serious limitations. Rush has now been benched for Tyler Huntley, leaving fans wondering if his NFL starting opportunities are effectively over.

31. Cam Ward, Titans

LR-QB Score: 57.4

Cam Ward is struggling mightily as the Titans continue to flounder at 1-5. Against the Raiders, he couldn’t spark any offense, cementing his place as the least-efficient starter. With a turnover-prone team and inconsistent play, Ward’s net yards per attempt and overall efficiency remain near the bottom, leaving fans frustrated and hoping for a spark soon.

30. Joe Flacco, Bengals

LR-QB Score: 58.24

Flacco returned to a starting role with the Bengals but couldn’t lead them to victory, falling 27-18 to the Packers. While he showed flashes of steadiness, his net yards per attempt of 4.8 and low efficiency keep him in the lower tier of starters. Flacco’s veteran presence provides hope, but results are still elusive.

29. Geno Smith, Raiders

LR-QB Score: 60.4

Geno Smith has been a rollercoaster this season, throwing 10 interceptions through six games. Despite the turnovers, he helped the Raiders to a win with a season-best 73.9% completion rate. Smith excels in clutch situations with a top-10 third-down conversion rate, but fans can’t ignore the inconsistency and costly mistakes under pressure.

28. Bryce Young, Panthers

LR-QB Score: 61.49

Bryce Young’s rollercoaster season continues with highs like three touchdowns in a 30-27 Panthers win over Dallas, and lows including multiple turnovers. He’s thrown five interceptions in six games but also has 10 touchdowns. Young’s inconsistency frustrates fans but his talent shines, and he’s keeping Carolina competitive with a .500 record so far.

27. Justin Fields, Jets

LR-QB Score: 63.4

Justin Fields’ Sunday outing was brutal, finishing with -10 net passing yards while being sacked nine times. He completed just nine passes, leaving the Jets’ offense completely stalled. Despite zero interceptions this season and elite athleticism, Fields struggles to move the chains efficiently, ranking near the bottom in nearly every passing metric.

26. Dillon Gabriel, Browns

LR-QB Score: 67.57

In just his second start, Dillon Gabriel struggled to ignite the Browns’ offense, managing only nine points in a Week 6 loss. His net yards per attempt sits at 4.3, and his third-down conversions have been limited to 27.6%. Early returns suggest Gabriel will need time to develop consistency at the NFL level.

25. Jaxson Dart, Giants

LR-QB Score: 68.54

Rookie Jaxson Dart is slowly becoming a bright spot for the Giants. He’s led New York to two wins in three starts and excels in clutch situations, converting 55.9% of third downs. While still developing, Dart’s 167 rushing yards and two touchdowns show he can make plays with both arm and legs, giving fans reason to be excited.

24. Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins

LR-QB Score: 69.02

Tua Tagovailoa has had a bumpy start to the season, with three interceptions against the Chargers highlighting a troubling turnover problem. He’s thrown 11 touchdowns in six games but also seven picks. Despite this, Tua keeps the Dolphins competitive, showing flashes of brilliance amid inconsistent execution, leaving fans hopeful if he can limit mistakes.

23. Spencer Rattler, Saints

LR-QB Score: 70.48

Spencer Rattler delivered a steady but unspectacular performance for the Saints, completing 76.9% of his passes for 227 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. While he isn’t lighting up the stat sheet, he’s keeping possessions alive. His completion rate and low turnover count give fans hope that Rattler can grow into a reliable starter.

22. Michael Penix Jr., Falcons

LR-QB Score: 74.48

Michael Penix Jr. put on a Monday Night Football showcase for the Falcons, throwing for 250 yards and connecting 10 times with Drake London. Bijan Robinson’s 81-yard touchdown run helped Atlanta secure a 24-14 win over the Bills. Penix Jr.’s poise and playmaking ability are propelling the Falcons to a 3-2 start, giving fans plenty of optimism.

21. Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars

LR-QB Score: 75.92

Trevor Lawrence is having a solid but unspectacular year for the Jaguars. He’s thrown 1,324 yards in six starts with five interceptions and a 61.1% completion rate. His EPA per dropback is just 0.01, barely moving the needle, but Lawrence keeps Jacksonville competitive. Fans know he’s talented, but consistency remains the missing ingredient.

20. Kyler Murray, Cardinals

LR-QB Score: 77.54

Kyler Murray missed Week 6 with a foot injury, giving Jacoby Brissett the start for the Cardinals in a loss to the Colts. Murray’s ranking remains unchanged, but fans hope their star QB will return healthy soon. When he’s on the field, his dual-threat ability keeps Arizona’s offense dynamic and dangerous.

19. Carson Wentz, Vikings

LR-QB Score: 78.12

The Vikings were on a bye in Week 6, leaving Carson Wentz’s stats and performance unchanged. He’s quietly managing the offense, though fans are still waiting for him to make the consistent, game-changing plays that could propel Minnesota higher in the standings.

18. Bo Nix, Broncos

LR-QB Score: 78.42

Bo Nix keeps chugging along with the Broncos, delivering a steady yet unremarkable performance in London’s narrow win over the Jets. He didn’t top 200 passing yards, and his stats hover in the middle of the pack across EPA, net yards per attempt, and passer rating. Nix isn’t flashy, but he’s reliably average—sometimes that’s exactly what a team needs.

17. Caleb Williams, Bears

LR-QB Score: 79.42

Caleb Williams continues to dominate for the Bears, tossing 252 yards with a passing TD and a rushing touchdown in Week 6. He’s hit 200+ yards in five straight games and has just one interception during a three-game win streak. Clock management, clutch throws, and command of the field make him a second-year QB who’s already dictating games.

16. Mac Jones, 49ers

LR-QB Score: 80.1

Mac Jones had a rough Week 6, throwing two interceptions with no touchdowns in a loss to the Buccaneers. Despite the misstep, he’s averaging 313 passing yards per game in four starts and shows excellent efficiency in a clean pocket. Pressure remains his kryptonite, but Jones can game-manage San Francisco’s offense and keep the team moving downfield.

15. C.J. Stroud, Texans

LR-QB Score: 80.63

C.J. Stroud was on bye in Week 6, so his metrics remain unchanged. After a rough start to the season, Stroud showed promise with two consecutive solid outings before the break. If he keeps building momentum, fans can expect him to climb back up in the rankings and start leading Houston’s offense with confidence.

14. Aaron Rodgers, Steelers

LR-QB Score: 82.54

Aaron Rodgers delivered a clean, veteran-led performance in Pittsburgh’s win over the Browns, throwing 235 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions at 70% completion. At this stage, Rodgers isn’t expected to be an MVP-caliber hero, just a reliable presence guiding a 4-1 Steelers squad. So far, the plan is working, and fans are enjoying steady quarterback play.

13. Justin Herbert, Chargers

LR-QB Score: 83.18

Justin Herbert rebounded in Week 6 with 264 yards, two touchdowns, and a 76.3% completion rate in the Chargers’ win over Miami. After an early-season slump, he’s stringing together back-to-back games with over 70% accuracy and zero interceptions, reminding fans why his talent makes him a perennial threat. Consistency remains key for Herbert.

12. Matthew Stafford, Rams

LR-QB Score: 84.16

Matthew Stafford remains the NFL’s leading passer with 1,684 yards. In Week 6, he added 181 yards and one touchdown against the Ravens. Stafford ranks eighth in EPA at halftime and is tied for seventh in net yards per attempt. His steady, veteran play keeps the Rams competitive and consistently puts the offense in good positions.

11. Dak Prescott, Cowboys

LR-QB Score: 84.63

Dak Prescott threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns in a loss to Carolina, showing he can still perform under pressure. He ranks fourth among QBs in EPA under pressure and sixth in late-game situations. Dallas fans know Prescott will keep them competitive, but defensive shortcomings continue to frustrate as he leads a capable offense.

10. Jayden Daniels, Commanders

LR-QB Score: 84.9

Jayden Daniels dazzled with 211 yards, three passing touchdowns, and 52 rushing yards in a tough 25-24 loss. Despite two costly turnovers, his accuracy (73% completions) and playmaking in key moments keep him dangerous. Daniels shows the kind of dual-threat talent that can dominate games, though mistakes are still holding him back from elite QB status.

9. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs

LR-QB Score: 85.4

Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in the Chiefs’ win over Detroit. While his analytical metrics are average, he ranks ninth in EPA per dropback in clutch situations and under pressure. Mahomes’ ability to deliver in tight games continues to make him the heartbeat of Kansas City’s offense.

8. Jalen Hurts, Eagles

LR-QB Score: 87.43

Jalen Hurts is shouldering a heavier workload lately, but it hasn’t translated to wins. EPA per dropback sits at -0.03, the only negative among the top 20 QBs, though he has just one interception. His rushing ability still adds value, but efficiency struggles limit Philadelphia’s ceiling, leaving fans hoping Hurts can reclaim his early-season form.

7. Sam Darnold, Seahawks

LR-QB Score: 88.1

Sam Darnold threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns in Seattle’s win over the Jaguars but completed just 59.3% of his passes. He remains one of the most efficient QBs under pressure and ranks fourth in EPA per dropback. Darnold’s solid play helps the Seahawks move the ball consistently, though some inconsistency keeps fans cautious.

6. Jordan Love, Packers

LR-QB Score: 88.78

Jordan Love threw for 259 yards and a touchdown on 73.3% completions in Green Bay’s win over the Bengals. He averages 10.0 yards per attempt and converts 52% of third downs, showing efficiency in key situations. Love is proving to be a top-tier passer, and his stats suggest he could be a breakout star if he maintains this level.

5. Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers

LR-QB Score: 89.55

Baker Mayfield continues his efficient start to the season, throwing for 256 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in Tampa Bay’s win over San Francisco. His 12:1 TD-to-INT ratio is the best among full-time starters, and he ranks sixth in EPA per dropback. Mayfield’s composure under pressure keeps the Buccaneers’ offense clicking.

4. Drake Maye, Patriots

LR-QB Score: 89.84

Drake Maye has been a revelation for New England, ranking among the league leaders in completion percentage, net yards per attempt, and passing touchdowns. In Week 6, he maintained the momentum, showing poise and consistency as the Patriots improve to 4-2. Fans are excited for Maye’s second-year breakout, as he’s emerging as one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.

3. Jared Goff, Lions

LR-QB Score: 93.8

Jared Goff threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in Detroit’s loss to Kansas City. His 0.58 EPA per dropback in a clean pocket ranks third in the NFL. While the yardage was modest, Goff remains a safe, accurate option for the Lions, keeping their offense efficient and competitive despite a struggling supporting cast.

2. Josh Allen, Bills

LR-QB Score: 94.12

Josh Allen has faced unprecedented pressure this season, with 44.1% of his dropbacks under fire in Week 6—the highest since 2024. Despite it, he threw for 2 touchdowns and two interceptions as the Bills scored just 14 points. Allen remains a dynamic force, but protecting him is critical if Buffalo wants to end its two-game skid.

1. Daniel Jones, Colts

LR-QB Score: 94.49

Daniel Jones continues to excel with 212 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown in the Colts’ win over Arizona. He completed 73% of his passes and ranks in the top ten in nearly every passing metric. Jones’ dual-threat ability and efficiency make him an MVP-caliber quarterback in 2025, a key reason for Indianapolis’ breakout season.
