Methodology
- Rankings like this are always going to be subjective in nature, but we tried to eliminate any preconceived notions by disregarding stats and team success, which can be influenced by a number of factors outside of a quarterback’s control.
- Instead, quarterbacks are judged based on film study. Every evaluation was based on all-22 game film from a few of that player’s most recent starts.
- Emphasis has been placed on process rather than result. If a quarterback made the right play but was let down by a teammate or a defender made a spectacular play, he was graded positively. Conversely, if he made a poor decision but was bailed out, he was graded negatively.
- Based on this film study, each quarterback is graded in six categories on a scale of 1-to-100, the averages producing the final scores determining the overall rankings. Here’s how those grades were weighted:

At least they go into how they came to the rankings. Certainly more to it than a lot of the QB lists that get tossed out there.
