I asked Grok to rank the top 10 Quarterbacks and this is what it said…

Let know your thoughts..

1. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs)
• 2024 Stats: 10th in EPA per play, led Chiefs to Super Bowl LIX despite offensive line struggles.
• Why #1: Mahomes remains the gold standard, with unmatched playoff success (three Super Bowl titles) and elite efficiency (90.4 QBR on third downs in 2024). Despite a statistical dip in 2024, his ability to elevate a limited offense and consistent top rankings by coaches and scouts keep him atop.

2. Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills)
• 2024 Stats: 3,731 passing yards, 28 TD passes, 531 rushing yards, 12 rushing TDs, NFL MVP.
• Why #2: Allen’s dual-threat dominance (25+ passing TDs, 10+ rushing TDs, <10 INTs) and league-leading EPA per play in clutch situations make him a close second. His 2024 MVP award and ability to perform without elite receivers solidify his elite status.

3. Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals)
• 2024 Stats: 4,918 passing yards (NFL leader), 43 TDs, 70.6% completion rate.
• Why #3: Burrow’s league-leading passing stats and 93.5 PFF passing grade over three seasons highlight his precision. Despite defensive struggles, his ability to carry the offense with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins makes him a top-tier QB. Health is a concern, but his ceiling is unmatched when healthy.

4. Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens)
• 2024 Stats: 4,000+ passing yards, 41 TD passes, 900+ rushing yards, 8.6% TD percentage (NFL leader).
• Why #4: Jackson’s 94.9 PFF overall grade in 2024 was among the highest ever, and his dual-threat ability (leading QBs in rushing yards) makes him a game-changer. His lack of Super Bowl appearances slightly lowers his rank, but his MVP-caliber play is undeniable.

5. Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders)
• 2024 Stats: 2nd among rookie QBs in success rate, three games with 30+ fantasy points.
• Why #5: Daniels’ breakout rookie season, earning Offensive Rookie of the Year, showcased his dual-threat potential. With added weapons like Deebo Samuel and improved protection, his 2024 performance (high EPA in clutch moments) and upside push him into the top five, as noted by league insiders.

6. Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers)
• 2024 Stats: 23 TDs, 3 INTs, 12th in EPA per play, 0-2 in playoffs.
• Why #6: Herbert’s elite arm talent and accuracy (QB3 in clean pocket, QB4 against pressure per PFF) shine despite limited offensive support. His playoff struggles and lack of signature wins keep him below the top tier, but his consistency and growth under Jim Harbaugh elevate his rank.

7. Matthew Stafford (Los Angeles Rams)
• 2024 Stats: 39 TDs, 9 INTs post-bye week, 81.5 QBR on play-action (3rd in NFL).
• Why #7: Stafford’s toughness and elite pocket presence (best TD-INT ratio on play-action since 2021) keep him in the top 10 at age 37. With Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, he’s poised for another strong season, though durability concerns linger.

. Jared Goff (Detroit Lions)
• 2024 Stats: 4,629 yards, 37 TDs, 72.4% completion, 5th in MVP voting.
• Why #8: Goff’s resurgence in Detroit (2nd in TD passes, 3rd in yards per completion) showcases his fit in a high-powered offense. The loss of OC Ben Johnson to Chicago may impact his 2025 output, but his consistency and efficiency keep him in the top 10.

9. Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles)
• 2024 Stats: Not detailed, but ranked 9th by coaches/scouts.
• Why #9: Hurts’ dual-threat ability and leadership in Philadelphia’s Super Bowl LIX run highlight his value. His passing consistency lags behind peers, but his clutch play and fit in the Eagles’ scheme secure his spot. Limited 2024 stats in the data slightly lower his ranking.

10. Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
• 2024 Stats: 4,500 yards, 41 TDs, 71.4% completion, 12 top-10 fantasy finishes.
• Why #10: Mayfield’s career-best 2024 season (6th in fantasy points) and playoff performance show his growth. With Mike Evans and new draft pick Emeka Egbuka, he’s a reliable starter, though his ceiling is lower than the elite tier.
