The NFL has a quarterback star on the rise in rookie Jayden Daniels, who has already spent several weeks at the top spot of these rankings this season before he had a little slump. But he led the Week 16 headlines that included a big win for Lamar Jackson against Pittsburgh, a concussion for Jalen Hurts, Drake Maye outplaying Josh Allen in Buffalo, and the first NFL start for Michael Penix Jr. in Atlanta.

But while the MVP race is still being billed as Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson, it would be nice if people really considered the concept of value and gave some thought to Jayden Daniels for the award. No one expected Washington to be this good while teams like the Bills and Ravens have been in the playoffs almost every year since 2019.

Parsing through the stats of quarterbacks who have more help around them on teams used to winning seems like a silly way to judge the most valuable player when there’s a rookie who is elevating the sorriest franchise in the NFL in the salary cap era to a 10-win season, a ridiculously efficient offense despite a lack of star power, and someone that has delivered several iconic moments already.

Just some food for thought as we move into Christmas week.

Each Wednesday at 365Scores, we are going to rank all 32 NFL quarterbacks from top to bottom. The methodology is to start with our preseason quarterback rankings from July, which was based on a mixture of career value and emphasis on recent play. Then each week, we will adjust the rankings to account for the latest game to get a sense of which quarterbacks are performing the best in the 2024 season. Injured starters will be replaced.

Note: Many statistical references will be made to data from Next Gen Stats (NGS).

1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

Week 16 rank: 2 (+1)

For the first time in his career, Lamar Jackson played well and got a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It almost had to happen as he might not get a better setup for it with the Steelers not having George Pickens on offense, the defense losing a couple of starting corners, and T.J. Watt wasn’t 100% healthy.

But while Jackson threw for 207 yards and 3 touchdowns, there were just enough miscues that would make the Ravens hope they don’t have to see this team again in the playoffs. Jackson fumbled on a strip-sack early in the game, but unlike in past matchups where the Steelers pounced on loose balls, Baltimore recovered as it recovered all three of the early fumbles in this game.

Then in the fourth quarter, Derrick Henry broke a huge run and put the Ravens in position to go up double digits with a 24-17 lead. But Jackson threw a terrible red-zone pick, which thankfully didn’t matter since Russell Wilson threw a pick-six on the ensuing drive to put the Ravens up 31-17.

But between flirting with multiple turnovers again, leaning heavily on Henry’s rushing (162 yards), and getting contained as a runner himself (25 yards without kneeldowns) again, the Steelers remain one of Jackson’s biggest roadblocks to a Super Bowl.

The Ravens should feel good about getting over the hump of not beating this team recently with Jackson, but a rematch could be one of the most interesting playoff games this year given Baltimore’s historic struggles on offense and Pittsburgh’s historic struggles on defense in the postseason since 2017.

Something will have to give should it come to that, but first, the Ravens have a shot to win in Houston and possibly inch closer to the AFC North title if the Steelers lose the early game to Kansas City on Wednesday.

2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Week 16 rank: 1 (-1)

I just talked about Lamar Jackson in the context of the Pittsburgh narrative more than the MVP award, and I’d prefer to not dwell too much on that this week for Josh Allen too. Let’s just say the obvious: He didn’t have a good game and was outplayed at home by rookie Drake Maye, who wants to be the next Allen.

But the Bills still won the game because James Cook is having a great year with long touchdown runs, and the defense bailed out the offense with a touchdown return in the fourth quarter as Buffalo’s 30-point streak was snapped at eight games. Buffalo’s offense only had 17 points in this game, and Allen was 16-of-29 for 154 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception on a deep ball in the end zone where any short gain could have allowed the Bills to try a field goal while they trailed 14-7.

Allen’s 28.7 QBR was the third lowest this week and the lowest in a win. It’s an off game, and those can happen even during MVP seasons. But Allen’s odds did cut in half from about -900 to -450, and we’ll see just how much the Bills want to play things out here. If the Chiefs secure the No. 1 seed on Wednesday, the Bills might not have much incentive to go full throttle these last two games.

Did Allen do enough for MVP? I’m not sure as the season isn’t over. But a game like this against the Patriots certainly does him no favors.

3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Week 16 rank: 3 (0)

When I wrote about Patrick Mahomes’ high-ankle sprain last week, I legitimately thought it could be a concern with two games coming up on a short week against pass rushes like the Texans and Steelers. Well, it only took one drive for Mahomes to brush off those concerns after he scrambled for 12 yards on a third-and-13, then finished the drive with this 15-yard touchdown run:

So much for that. Remember when Mahomes started this season with 8 touchdowns and 9 interceptions? He’s thrown 15 touchdowns to 2 interceptions since. In fact, the Chiefs have gone five straight games without a turnover, their longest streak in the Mahomes era. The defense is also starting to get takeaways, so all the turnover regression is going Kansas City’s way with two shots to win one game to clinch the No. 1 seed here.

Mahomes played very well against Houston, and he has a new weapon after Hollywood Brown made his season debut and looked good. With Xavier Worthy starting to get the trust (read: more targets) of Mahomes and Joe Thuney doing a solid job at left tackle, this offense is picking things up at the right time.

The deep balls still aren’t connecting, but when you can string together long drives the way the Chiefs have all year long, you have a chance to win every game, which Kansas City has almost done this season.

4. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders

Week 16 rank: 5 (+1)

Jayden Daniels has already engineered some signature moments in his rookie season, but Sunday was the best yet after he threw five touchdown passes against a top-ranked Philadelphia defense in a comeback win that ended the Eagles’ 10-game winning streak.

He did this despite his offense turning it over five times, including three lost fumbles by his skill players, and Daniels was able to make up for a late pick by leading a touchdown march and throwing the game-winner to Jamison Crowder with 0:06 left in a 36-33 stunner.

Only Cam Newton ever had the kind of numbers Daniels had in this game as a runner and passer. In fact, Daniels now leads the Commanders in rushing yards this season. He’ll be a lock for Offensive Rookie of the Year and deserves MVP votes.

Daniels’ 95.8 QBR led all quarterbacks in Week 16. At 10-5, the Commanders have a chance to finish 11-6 or 12-5. This franchise hasn’t won 11 games in a season since 1991, the only NFL team that can say that. Daniels is elevating this team to levels no one expected this year.

Daniels joins Kurt Warner and Patrick Mahomes as the only quarterbacks to score at least 18 points in each of their first 15 NFL starts. Warner and Mahomes weren’t true rookies during the seasons they won MVP as first-time starters. But even if Daniels doesn’t win a Super Bowl or MVP as a rookie, he’s on a great path to competing for those accolades on an annual basis.

5. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions

Week 16 rank: 4 (-1)

The Lions were basically toying with the Bears in a game that wasn’t nearly as tough as their Thanksgiving win at home. How do I know that? Just look at this fake “stumbling” touchdown pass that offensive coordinator Ben Johnson dialed up in the third quarter:

But Goff had another strong game after the loss to Buffalo last week. All things are leading up to that Week 18 showdown with the Vikings, but we’ll see if the Lions can maybe clinch that top seed sooner if the Vikings slip up against Green Bay first. As for Goff, he has a chance to light up the 49ers in prime time in a rematch of the 2023 NFC Championship Game next Monday night.

6. Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings

Week 16 rank: 6 (0)

Coming into 2024, Sam Darnold had three fourth-quarter comebacks and five game-winning dives in his career. Through Week 16, he’s doubled those numbers in Minnesota with three comebacks and his fifth-game winning drive in Seattle, which came on a great 39-yard touchdown throw to Justin Jefferson in the final minutes.

What more does Darnold need to do to prove himself this year? If the Vikings win next week against Green Bay, that means Week 18 in Detroit should be for the No. 1 seed, a great early playoff test for him in the biggest game of his career.

But Darnold keeps passing these weekly tests, and I think you have to give him a shot at pulling off a 2011 Eli Manning/2012 Joe Flacco/2017 Nick Foles type of playoff run this year.

7. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Week 16 rank: 7 (0)

The numbers for Jordan Love won’t wow you from Monday night. He was 16-of-28 for 182 yards and a touchdown. But he did all his damage early with the Packers scoring three straight touchdowns to take a 21-0 lead, which was plenty to beat the Saints in what became the first shutout (34-0) of the 2024 NFL season.

Now we’ll see if Love can avenge his loss at home to Minnesota in the rematch next week.

8. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Week 16 rank: 8 (0)

Burrow had a hot start, but the Bengals were stuck on 17 points for almost the entire second half before getting some late touchdown opportunities to extend Burrow’s streak of games with three touchdown passes. The first one didn’t go well with a play-action attempt from the 1-yard line that led to a strip-sack fumble.

But in getting the ball back, Burrow saw Myles Garrett jump offsides, threw up the deep ball for Ja’Marr Chase on the free play, and they connected for another score this year. The Bengals (7-8) now have to get a must-win game at home against Denver if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive for the final week of the season.

9. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

Week 16 rank: 11 (+2)

One thing we hadn’t seen yet from the Chargers this year, their first under Jim Harbaugh, was a fourth-quarter comeback win. Justin Herbert had nine of them in 2021-22, but he only had one in the last two seasons after the defense usually gave away his others he put the team in position for.

But Herbert delivered in an exciting win against Denver last Thursday night. He overcame a 24-13 deficit and put the team ahead with multiple touchdowns in the fourth quarter to secure a ninth win and a winning season. With two easier games left, the Chargers could very well finish 11-6 and the No. 6 seed or better.

10. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 16 rank: 9 (-1)

Baker Mayfield had a wild game in Dallas, an improving defense, but I would put more blame on his skill players not doing more to attack and protect the ball as they let the Cowboys make way too many plays on them. There was an interception snatched from the receiver in the end zone in the fourth quarter, then to end things, this insane escape by Baker followed by a game-ending fumble by Rachaad White even after it looked like he secured the ball:

Not sure I’ve ever seen an ending like that. But it’s a bad loss for the Buccaneers (8-7), who lost control of their destiny in the NFC South race. They’ll need Atlanta to lose a game.

11. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

Week 16 rank: 10 (-1)

Jalen Hurts left Sunday’s game in Washington with a concussion after a scramble didn’t go well. He wasn’t knocked out or anything, but you could tell he was just a little off when he got up, and that was enough to send him out of the game and not return. He’s in the concussion protocol, so we’ll see if the Eagles have to play a game without him or not.

You definitely don’t want to see Kenny Pickett starting games if you’re the Eagles. His pocket presence is poor and he locks onto receivers because he doesn’t read the field well. But Hurts should be back for the playoffs. It’s just a matter of losing out on the No. 1 seed with this latest loss that really stings for the Eagles.

12. Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 16 rank: 12 (0)

How strange is the NFL? Russell Wilson had his worst game of the season at home against the Ravens with George Pickens, and he still won that game with six field goals. He was on the road Saturday in Baltimore, he didn’t have Pickens, and he played a better game but still had a horrible red zone turnover and a pick-six that largely cost the Steelers the game.

The 34-17 final covers up how close this game was, but between Wilson getting greedy on a fumbled scramble and the pick-six proving to be the dagger in the fourth quarter, you have to put the game on him offensively. He didn’t deliver.

However, the good news is the Ravens and Steelers could end up meeting for a third time in the wild card round, and regardless of venue, Wilson shouldn’t feel too bad about that matchup as he knows this team can beat the Ravens. He just has to be better with turnovers, and he should have Pickens back soon, if not by Wednesday.

13. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

Week 16 rank: 13 (0)

Matthew Stafford has passed for just 270 yards combined in the last two games, but the Rams came back to win them both in the fourth quarter. It used to be that 270 yards was something he’d hit by the third quarter in his old Detroit days, but Stafford is enjoying the benefits of a defense and riding the running game with Kyren Williams.

Still, you could blame the rain for the San Francisco game having low passing output, but I’m less sure why the Rams barely threw the ball against the Jets. They’ll have home games with the Cardinals and Seahawks to close this season out and hopefully win a division title, but Stafford will also have to play better in those games than he has these last few weeks.

14. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans

Week 16 rank: 14 (0)

I’ve been waiting since May to see how C.J. Stroud would handle his first start against the Chiefs in Arrowhead as potentially the next big AFC rival for Kansas City. He didn’t get the win, and the two interceptions were disappointing, but there were encouraging signs for Stroud too in handling those blitzes from Steve Spagnuolo.

He threw a great touchdown pass to Tank Dell, who unfortunately tore his ACL and dislocated his knee, a very serious injury that could even cost him the 2025 season for the Texans. Dell already had a season-ending injury as a rookie last year, and you could see just how distraught his friend Stroud was over the freak accident play as friendly fire took Dell’s knee out in the end zone after such a good catch.

It’s going to be a tough road ahead for Stroud, who has to face the Ravens this Wednesday, and he’s already loss Stefon Diggs earlier this season. The Texans just don’t have enough weapons to truly hang with these contenders in 2024.

15. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Week 16 rank: 15 (0)

Arizona has been eliminated from the playoffs, marking the fifth time in six years that Kyler Murray will not be in the postseason for Arizona. This year, Arizona is 2-7 when Murray averages under 7.0 yards per pass and 5-1 when he’s above 7.5 yards per attempt.

Sunday was another disappointing game in Carolina, one of the worst pass defenses in the league, and it didn’t help that James Conner left injured. But Murray forced overtime with 10 straight points before he was unable to finish the job in the extra session and the Panthers won on a touchdown.

This offense has too many good weapons to not be more consistent than they were this season with Murray starting every game.

16. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins

Week 16 rank: 17 (+1)

Tua Tagovailoa did not put his name in the record books with a ninth-straight game with over 70% completions as he was 22-of-34 (64.7%) against the 49ers. But he led his team to a win and keeps their playoff hopes alive.

He is still leading the league with a 72.9% completion percentage, but he will probably come up short of breaking Drew Brees’ single-season record.

17. Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers

Week 16 rank: 16 (-1)

The 49ers were eliminated from the playoffs before Sunday’s kickoff in Miami, but it was still another disappointing loss and game for Brock Purdy, who threw for 313 yards but failed to score more than 17 points for the fourth time in the last five games.

Purdy was intercepted under pressure late in a 22-17 game before the Dolphins put things away with a long touchdown run. Purdy’s interception rate this season is 2.4%, which is almost identical to what it was in 2022 (2.4%) and 2023 (2.5%). But some of the picks have been more costly in big moments this year, including this week’s pick and the one last week in a 9-6 game against the Rams.

18. Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets

Week 16 rank: 18 (0)

This game was a lot more offensive than the 19-9 score suggests. The Jets only had the ball four times in the first three quarters, and they turned the ball over on downs twice. That’s not good. Neither is the special teams, which contributed another missed field goal and a muffed punt in the final two minutes of yet another blown-lead loss for the Jets.

But the strip-sack of Rodgers in the fourth quarter was huge and led to the Rams’ game-winning touchdown. Rodgers had no problem holding the ball in this game, but he got a little greedy there and paid for it.

19. Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks

Week 16 rank: 19 (0)

Good on Geno Smith for toughing it out and playing on a knee injury to still throw for 314 yards and 3 touchdowns in a back-and-forth game with a very good Minnesota defense.

But interceptions have been an issue this year, and Smith had two more in this game to give him 15 for the season. Only Kirk Cousins (benched with 16) has more. Smith’s last pick in the fourth quarter came with the Seahawks needing a field goal in the 27-24 loss. Their odds of winning the NFC West have really taken a nosedive over the last two weeks with losses to simply better teams in the Packers and Vikings.

20. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

Week 16 rank: 20 (0)

Bo Nix was directing the offense well early, but the success dried up in the second half as he couldn’t stretch the field and relied on a lot of very short throws. The Chargers came back to take the lead after trailing by double digits early, and Nix wasn’t accurate enough to respond to avoid a sweep at the hands of Jim Harbaugh’s defense.

Now we’ll see if Nix can win a huge road game in Cincinnati before we start talking about the Broncos being in real danger of missing the playoffs.

21. Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers

Week 16 rank: 21 (0)

Bryce Young did a very solid job of managing the game on a day where the Panthers were playing with the lead and got a huge game out of Chuba Hubbard on the ground. Young threw two touchdown passes for only the second time in a game this year, and his 107.5 passer rating was his highest of the season and second-highest game in his career.

His 80.1 QBR was also the fourth best among quarterbacks this week thanks to Young rushing for a career-high 68 yards and a touchdown. He never rushed for more than 41 yards in a game before Sunday.

22. Drake Maye, New England Patriots

Week 16 rank: 24 (+2)

Drake Maye’s first game against Josh Allen and the Bills did not end in a win, but it was never supposed to given the Patriots were 14.5-point underdogs and it was barely 14 degrees at kickoff. But they were also up 14-0, and that’s about the last “14” reference I can think to make here.

But Allen’s playing style and career is clearly a blueprint for Maye to follow, and the truth is he outplayed him in this game. The running backs were a different story though as Rhamondre Stevenson was involved in two fumble plays, including this lateral from Maye that hit him right in the hands and was not caught, leading to a huge defensive touchdown for Buffalo in the fourth quarter:

But it’s throws like this that have you excited for Maye’s future if the Patriots can build a better roster around him:

23. Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears

Week 16 rank: 25 (+2)

Games like Sunday are why I continue to see potential where people see only problems with Caleb Williams. It’s gotten downright comical and historic how the Bears keep losing games despite Williams not contributing any interceptions to it as you’d expect from any quarterback on a 9-game losing streak, but especially true for a rookie behind a shaky line.

The Bears have lost nine games in a row without throwing an interception – the previous NFL record was just five games by the 1994 Oilers, 2018-19 Jets, and 2021-22 Broncos. Pretty crazy stuff.

Sunday’s issues were rookie wideout Rome Odunze putting the ball on the ground for a couple of early fumbles as the Lions built a 20-0 lead. No second-half heroics to make it close this time as the Bears fell 34-17, but Williams still threw for 334 yards and only took two sacks. He also led the Bears with 34 rushing yards, so there’s really not much help coming to him from any angle.

There’s something here to work with for the next coaching staff.

24. Cooper Rush, Dallas Cowboys

Week 16 rank: 26 (+2)

Mike McCarthy doesn’t get enough credit for preparing his backup quarterbacks to start given the job he’s done going back to Green Bay with Matt Flynn. Cooper Rush is now 9-4 as a starter in Dallas since 2020, and thanks to some good play designs to CeeDee Lamb, he averaged a season-high 8.3 yards per attempt against the Buccaneers in an upset win.

Had it not been for that blocked punt blunder against the Bengals, Rush might have the Cowboys on a 5-game winning streak if you can believe it. He’ll be in the NFL for a long time.

25. Michael Penix, Atlanta Falcons

Week 16 rank: N/A (Kirk Cousins was No. 23)

Rookie Michael Penix was the last significant member of the 2024 quarterback class to get his first start, but he got to enjoy an easy 34-7 win at home against the Giants, who helped him out with two interceptions returned for touchdowns.

Speaking of interceptions, let the record show that the first pick of Penix’s career was 100% on Kyle Pitts, who bobbled the ball.

My one criticism of Penix on this play is that he threw it to the open field without any timeouts left in the half, so it would have been very tight to get the spike off and save the field goal attempt if Pitts made the catch. That wasn’t going to be a touchdown, so that was a risky decision for a weak reward.

But it was his first start and he should get better. He was fine in this game, and we’ll see him get a much tougher test right away when he’s facing Jayden Daniels and the Commanders this Sunday night.

26. Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts

Week 16 rank: 28 (+2)

It was a difficult game to judge Anthony Richardson since he only threw 11 passes. But when they had to get him to throw late in the game to avoid blowing a 38-7 lead, he threw a strike on third down. He also rushed for 70 yards in the game and mostly avoided negative plays.

I still don’t think this is a sustainable formula for winning in the pros, but the Colts found a way to get it done with him against the Titans.

27. Aidan O’Connell, Las Vegas Raiders

Week 16 rank: N/A (Desmond Ridder was No. 29)

Look, the Raiders need a new quarterback in a bad way in 2025, but I am at least willing to admit Aidan O’Connell is probably the best option they have this season. He nearly beat the Chiefs, and now he’s notched a win over Jacksonville to end this brutal 10-game losing streak for the Raiders.

O’Connell didn’t light up the scoreboard, but he led a go-ahead touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter and the defense held on. The Raiders have some nice weapons and even veteran back Ameer Abdullah has looked great catching the ball these last few weeks.

But the Raiders must upgrade this position for 2025. You can’t compete in a division with Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Bo Nix if your top option is AOC.

28. Mason Rudolph, Tennessee Titans

Week 16 rank: N/A (Will Levis was No. 32)

Can the Titans ever play a normal game again? When they played the Colts in Week 6, that was a 20-17 game, a normal game. In the last month, they’re beating Houston despite taking a million sacks and throwing a pick-six, they’re down 28-0 in the blink of an eye in Washington, they blow a 10-6 game at home to Jacksonville, and they were involved in a game with 10 turnovers against the Bengals last week.

Benching Will Levis for Mason Rudolph made sense, and Rudolph is the better option. But watching him throw a few picks and fall behind 38-7 behind a horrible run defense sure felt like Levis all over again.

But something weird happened. Rudolph started stringing together touchdown drives, and before you knew it, this was a 38-30 game with a few minutes left and the defense forcing the Colts into a third-and-long. They might actually pull off a 31-point comeback on the road behind Rudolph in time for Christmas.

Alas, the defense couldn’t get Rudolph the ball back until seconds remained, and he threw an interception that was so charitable that it felt like he had a pregame agreement with the defender to gift him one. But a 38-7 comeback would have been insane for this team.

29. Mac Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 16 rank: 27 (-2)

At least we know the Jaguars have a stud No. 1 wideout for next year in Brian Thomas Jr. Mac Jones found him for a 62-yard touchdown, and some of Thomas’ best plays this year have been in the last month with Jones throwing the ball instead of Trevor Lawrence.

But when asked to score again, Jones couldn’t come through and ended up dumping the ball off way short of the sticks on fourth-and-ballgame as the Jaguars lost a 19-14 game that was winnable.

30. Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Cleveland Browns

Week 16 rank: N/A (Jameis Winston was No. 22)

We were robbed of a prime matchup for Jameis Winston to take advantage of in Cincinnati. Instead, we were forced into a half of “DTR” producing 0 net passing yards on eight pass plays while also running the ball 5 times for 10 yards. That’s 10 yards on 13 plays.

He picked things up in the second half, but a couple of picks in the fourth quarter denied any chance of a competitive finish as the Browns fell 24-6.

31. Spencer Rattler, New Orleans Saints

Week 16 rank: N/A (Jake Haener was No. 31)

Let’s just be honest. Spencer Rattler had little chance to succeed in Green Bay given the Saints were playing without Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Taysom Hill, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rashid Shaheed, and just about anyone else you can name on this offense.

But it was the first shutout (34-0) of the 2024 NFL season, and that’s not good. The Saints had nine drives and finished them with four punts, two turnovers, two failed fourth downs, and the end of the half.

At this point, why even bother bringing Derek Carr back for the last two games? It’s a wrap here.

32. Drew Lock, New York Giants

Week 16 rank: N/A (Tommy DeVito was No. 32)

Well, you can’t say Drew Lock is better than Daniel Jones. Lock threw a pair of pick-sixes in Atlanta and lost a fumble, so if you consider the net scoring from the offense in this 34-7 loss, that means they had minus-7 net points.

Is there another character the Giants can start at quarterback to end the season? We’ve already gone through Vanilla Vick, Tommy Cutlets, and Drew Lock can’t figure out if he wants to audition for American Idol or 8 Mile: The Series. Not one franchise quarterback in the mix.

But the Giants (2-13) are on track to have the No. 1 pick in the draft. Just not sure if coach Brian Daboll is going to be around for the next quarterback era.
