The Notinhalloffame Pro Football Hall of Fame Monitor has been revised: Quarterbacks Edition
The 2026 NFL season is here, and we have updated our Pre-Season Football Monitor.
As we have expanded our projects, we can’t say we've expanded the team behind the scenes! As a result, we are a little behind on this one, and we could only post the top 50 of the Pre-Season Monitor at this time.
We will add more during the season (and yes, we know that defeats the purpose of pre-season), but thank you for your patience.
Up first are the Quarterbacks, with a staggering eight ranked in the top 50.
They are:
#1 QB, #2 Overall: Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers. #1 Overall Last Year.
#2 QB, #4 Overall: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs, #3 Overall Last Year.
#3 QB, #9 Overall: Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams, #26 Overall Last Year.
#4 QB, #12 Overall: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens, #10 Overall Last Year.
#5 QB, #16 Overall: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills, #17 Oveall Last Year.
#6 QB, #32 Overall: Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles, #33 Last Year.
#7 QB, #37 Overall: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys, #37 Last Year.
#8 QB, #46 Overall: Jared Goff, Detroit Lions, #45 Last Year.
Look for more information on this project shortly.
#45 Overall, Jared Goff, Detroit Lions, #8 Quarterback
2025 Pre-Season Rank #46, pSeason 2024 Pre-Season Rank #89, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #100, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #112. 2021 Pre-Season Rank #106, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #117. Peak Period: 2021-25
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, Goff and the Lions proved it was not a one-sided transaction.
Goff brought Detroit to the NFC Championship Game in 2023 and was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2022 and 2024. In 2023, 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 that year, 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.
