The NFL is no stranger to top-end football, but as usual, there are levels to this. Not only that but when you talk about the most critical position in sports, the level gets much more significant as the QB can determine the fate of a franchise, for good or bad.

We have ranked the presumed starting NFL quarterbacks into tiers. We'll go from top to bottom in what is a controversial but needed rank as it can directly affect the NFL betting plays. These are the tiers:

1. Elite QBs
2. Franchise Top Quality
3. Good Enough
4. Exciting Prospects
5. Question mark
6. Oh no...

Without further ado, let's begin!

Elite QBs

You have to be a proven bonafide star who can dominate your opponents at will to be in this category. To be really elite, the best of the best, you need to influence your team and how your opponent approaches their match against you. The elite ones in the league are:

• Patrick Mahomes
• Lamar Jackson
• Russell Wilson
• Tom Brady
• Aaron Rodgers
• Drew Brees
• Deshaun Watson

Franchise Top Quality:

A franchise top quality QB is the one that can lead a team but is not quite as good as the elite, but certainly is a factor in the game and can look unstoppable from time to time.

• Ben Roethlisberger
• Carson Wentz
• Matt Ryan
• Matthew Stafford

Good enough

These quarterbacks are talented but haven't leaped to be top-end players behind center. They can provide stability in their position, but are not in star status. Good, reliable, but not spectacular.

• Dak Prescott
• Jimmy Garoppolo
• Jared Goff
• Kirk Cousins
• Ryan Tannehill
• Josh Allen
• Gardner Minshew

Exciting Prospects

This tier is about young QBs with a bright future, great pieces, and the potential to one day be huge stars in this league.

• Kyler Murray
• Joe Burrow
• Tua Tagovailoa
• Justin Herbert

Question mark

This is a tough tier to put QBs in as it belongs to those questioned as to whether they can guide a franchise or should the team go looking for a replacement. Here we can also see those who are still developing and haven't had enough action in the league to make a clear statement about their level.

• Drew Lock
• Derek Carr
• Jarrett Stidham
• Baker Mayfield
• Philip Rivers
• Daniel Jones
• Teddy Bridgewater
• Sam Darnold

Oh no...

If you are here, you shouldn't even start as QB in the NFL, or at least not for much longer.

• Mitch Trubisky
• Dwayne Haskins
