Execs, coaches, scouts rank top NFL quarterbacks for 2026

[LouBrown]

This isn't the opinion or evaluation of some yahoo or Joe Blow. I know many will disagree but I honestly believe his command and knowledge of the game are now on an elite level similar to Romo's last few years, when he was like an offensive coordinator playing QB.

Agreed - and it's been that way pretty much since 2021.

My point is that Dak isn't the same player he was in 2017, but people who formed opinions then are too dug in

people worship Brady but out of 23 season he only got 6 rings
Terry Bradshaw played 14 seasons and has 4 rings and no losses in the SB while Brady has 3

so by percentages one could say Bradshaw was better
Does ANYONE even a squealer fan think Bradshaw was anywhere near the QB brady was?

That’s only if you ignore Brady won 7 rings.

7/23 =30.4% of seasons were rings

4/14=28.6% of seasons were rings

Bradshaw never lost a Super Bowl because he wasn’t good enough to make it to more than 4

IMO, there isn't a DC out there who can fool him or show him looks he has seen before.....not at this point in his career.

Dak haters are not going to like this.

I just came to see which one of them are going to claim that they know more about evaluating NFL quarterbacking talent than NFL executives, coaches and scouts who are paid millions to do these things.

I was told that our quarterback is a bum/below average quarterback, yet..... None of the people who say these things can explain how a bum/below average is ALWAYS amongst the top 10 out of 70+ players at his position.

Yeah... im just here to see which one of our special residents who've never played professional football or were paid millions to evaluate professional football talent, believe that they know more than NFL executives, coaches and scouts.

Hopefully this ranking helps us win some playoff games

Rankings have nothing to do with winning playoff games.

Dak’s mental makeup is why he folds in the playoffs. He doesn’t have the mental toughness and fortitude to handle those high pressure situations.

wrong, hasn't had right coaching to get him there. Perhaps, Shotty will be final push.

Yet he consistently rank amongst the leaders of QB’s under pressure. Keep posting. Enjoying the laughs.

He proves it every time he takes the field. That’s why his team mates love him.

The experts rank him #6. You think he sucks.

What?

I think Dak should be higher than 6. You misread what I said.

Oh, sorry. My bad.

Doesn’t matter. In his twisted mind everyone who thinks rationally is a hater. You have actual thought and logic behind most of your posts so naturally you’re the enemy.

Yeah it can be pointed out to them but if they’re closed minded with an agenda they’ll continue to embarrass themselves. ^^

Anyone who thinks Dak sucks is a hater. Get it right.

Yeah, no.

Most posters already know this, it's you that won't accept it, troll.

You were on to something until that last statement/sentence. Bradshaw was never good enough but his OL, skill players, and more importantly his defense was. Add a little help from the Zebras and you have a 4 time SB winner.

And you falsely accused Lou of being a Dak hater, which outside of 2 or 3 true Dak bashers on this forum is what you do all the time.

Still waiting on your response to the 2-5 comment on the other thread….or was that just another false BS post to slander me?

With all the talent surrounding Dak, he should be higher. Has 2 #1 receivers, a good offensive line, and a running game. I think his playoff failures attribute to the lower ranking

Well according what you've stated, why isn't Hurts, Lamar Jackson and Purdy ranked higher? All of them played under better coaching than Dak has ever played under, and Purdy and Hurts have better overall talent around them than Dak has.

So again, why aren't Hurts and Purdy ranked higher?

Then you said "HIS playoff failures attribute to the lower ranking". Well this list was created by people who understands that NFL football is a TEAM GAME and here's why..... Hurts led Eagles won a Superbowl. Purdy led 49ers went to a Superbowl.

So according to what you've stated, apparently players THEMSELVES aren't judged by TEAM GAME playoff results, because Hurts and Purdy would have been placed higher, correct?

To conclude, teams win games, not single players. This list backs that up. Those people are NFL executives, coaches and scouts and they know how this game is played.
