Ranking the QB the NFL
In my rankings of NFL QB I judge them from the following scale elite, great, good, average and bust and this list contains starters only with the only expectation being Nick Foles. The scale is judged by overall body of work such record in both a season and in big games their performance and stats, other factors clutch drives and throws and health and experience overall and other minor factors

Its simple in the elite category these are the QB who are the class of the league who either won MVP or put up big time stats won big games stayed heathy and can carry their teams and win games for them when they need them most
In the great category these QB are close to being elite but not quiet there such there for certain reasons in Wentz Newton case it’s the ability to stay healthy for their teams. Yes Andrew Luck was hurt but came back and perform at an elite level won a playoff game without taking sacks for a couple of games.
In the good category these QB are on and off where they show flashes off their potential and put up the stats but simply have not won the big game or cannot carry their teams yet in Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton case both have put up big stats but have sub par records against teams above 500
The average category- these QB do not put up big numbers or stats and performances do not light it up sometimes have to rely on others to help bring in wins such as the defense or simply are a disappointment – In Dak case he is average QB who without his run game or defense has shown to be exposed – For Lamar Jackson he has not shown his ability to throw from the pocket which makes him average my mind. The rookies who are bot yet busts but did not light it up their rookie years get put in here as well
The bust category – Its simple this category is for the QB who are either busts or ready to be cut or are in trouble of being cut and will have to sign with a new team that are young QB simply not good NFL QB.
