2024 Pre-Season Rank #14, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #30, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #38, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #46, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #76. Peak Period: 2019-20/22-24

Everything but the Super Bowl.

Lamar Jackson has been money since he arrived in the National Football League, winning the MVP in 2019, his second in 2023, and last year, he almost won it, finishing second to Buffalo’s Josh Allen (even though Jackson was the AP First Team All-Pro).

Jackson has a winning record every season (he is 70-24 overall) and is coming off his first 4,000-yard year while still piling up the mileage on the ground (915).   He can beat you with his legs, his accuracy, and his arm, and could make history as the first QB to exceed 10,000 Rushing Yards.

A Quarterback with two MVPs (and remember, almost three) is a slam dunk to make it to Canton, but he does not want to challenge Dan Marino as the finest pivot never to win it all.  Baltimore is again loaded, but it needs to get to the big dance and win it for Jackson’s legacy to be complete.

2024 Pre-Season Rank #2, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #10, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #21, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #31, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #47.  Peak Period 2018-22.

Aaron Rodgers might be ranked higher among Quarterbacks than Patrick Mahomes, but when the GOAT of the position is discussed, far more pundits speculate that it is Mahomes who has the shot to pass Brady.

What Mahomes has already accomplished is phenomenal.  With three Super Bowl wins (winning the MVP in all three), five AFC Conference wins, and two MVPs, he already has a Hall of Fame career that is the envy of most Quarterbacks, and he is only 30.

Here is how good Mahomes is: last season, he broke his six-year streak of Pro Bowls, and in his “off year,” he still won 15 Games, finished sixth in MVP voting, and returned to the Super Bowl.  Mahomes enters the 2025 season with a scintillating 89-23 record, a 245-74 TD-INT ratio, and he still has a loaded roster around him (Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, to name two), and the squad is led by future Hall of Fame Coach, Andy Reid.  The Chiefs could win it all again, and if he wins a fourth title, does he enter the Mount Rushmore of the position?

Given his current standing, it's not a stretch to say that Mahomes is a Pro Football Hall of Famer if he never throws another football. The real question is, what will his all-time Quarterback rank be?

Yannick Ngakoue played the first four seasons in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, though it was mostly known for its acrimonious end.

Josh Scobee played with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first 11 of his 12 NFL seasons, and he was a reliable Place Kicker during that time.  Scobee would lead the NFL in Field Goal Percentage in 2007, and he would later tie the record of 50 plus yard Field Goals in a game with three.
