In 2018, Jared Goff led the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl appearance.  They did not win, and although he won two Pro Bowls, the Rams gave up on him and traded the Quarterback to the Detroit Lions.  In Stafford’s first season in L.A., he won a Super Bowl, making Goff look bad in the process, but years later, it is Goff and the Lions who are the superior team.

Goff brought Detroit to the NFC Championship Game in 2023 and was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2022 and 2024.  Last season, Goff had his best year to date, throwing for 4,629 Yards and 37 Touchdowns, but the potent Lions were bounced early in the playoffs.  Nevertheless, Goff finished fifth in the MVP race and is still young and talented enough to take the talented Lions to a Super Bowl win.   If that happens, this will result in a colossal jump for Goff.

There is no greater pressure cooker in the National Football League than being the Quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.  While Dak Prescott has been maligned in some circles for not winning a Super Bowl or even getting there, the stat line shows that he has been very good for some time.

The 2016 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year has been selected to three Pro Bowls, has broken 4,400 Yards three times, and in 2023, he led the NFL in Touchdown Passes (36) and was the runner-up for the league MVP.  Sadly, Prescott’s hamstring injury cost him half of the season, and in the eight Games he played in, he was average, which led to a significant drop in his ranking.

Prescott enters the 2025 Season with a depleted Dallas team, but he is still a top-ten Quarterback.  He has a lot to prove this year if he has any chance of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

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.

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?
