Ryan Tannehill’s career looked dead in Miami. Now, with a 15-game sample sample in Tennessee, the veteran is proving a star for the Titans.
In the 2020 FanSided NFL quarterback rankings — which go live here every Tuesday morning throughout the regular season — we use a weighted average of current and past performances, with the former meaning more than the latter.
Here we go!
2020 stats: 397 yards | 51.9 completion % | 1 TDs | 1 INTs | 5.0 YPA | 38.1 QBR

There’s no need for an explanation, right? The Jets have no talent, and that extends to the quarterback position. Flacco should have retired two years ago … at least.
2020 stats: 354 yards | 72.7 completion % | 2 TDs | 1 INTs | 6.4 YPA | 70.2 QBR

It’s one short, quick pass after another with the Football Team. Allen isn’t much better than Dwayne Haskins, although he completes passes at about a 15 percent better clip, and so there’s likely the difference in Ron Rivera’s mind.
2020 stats: 377 yards | 75.0 completion % | 1 TDs | 2 INTs | 9.3 YPA | 12.4 QBR

After that Monday night catastrophe, Jerry Jones should have a cigarette. Then another. Then he should prepare to offer Dak Prescott part-ownership if necessary.
2020 stats: 1,223 yards | 61.2 completion % | 3 TDs | 6 INTs | 6.1 YPA | 55.4 QBR

Jones finally got his first win of the season, beating Washington in a 20-19 thriller (ehhhh). Big Blue sees flashes with Jones, who showed mobility on a 49-yard run on Sunday while also making some terrific throws in tight windows. The problem, of course, is turnovers.
2020 stats: 1,401 yards | 58.7 completion % | 8 TDs | 9 INTs | 6.0 YPA | 51.0 QBR

Somehow, Wentz is the best NFC East quarterback and ranks 28th.
Wentz was better against the Ravens. The lost fumble was a killer, but it’s getting harder to talk about Wentz’s struggles without looking at the mess of a supporting cast in Philadelphia. Everybody is hurt, and now Miles Sanders and Zach Ertz are gone as well.
2020 stats: 878 yards | 62.5 completion % | 6 TDs | 4 INTs | 5.8 YPA | 55.4 QBR

It’s damn near impossible to throw 39 times for 198 yards in the modern age, and yet here we are. Foles and the Bears improved to 5-1 on the campaign, but Foles was bad, throwing an awful interception while making very few impact plays.
2020 stats: 425 yards | 53.2 completion % | 1 TDs | 2 INTs | 6.9 YPA | 33.1 QBR

When you go 10-of-24 with two interceptions, you aren’t moving up the board. Lock almost helped Denver choke away an 18-3 fourth-quarter lead, but was bailed out by the defense. If the Broncos are going to beat Kansas City on Sunday, Lock will need to quickly, and vastly, improve.
2020 stats: 1,475 yards | 64.6 completion % | 11 TDs | 10 INTs | 8.4 YPA | 46.8 QBR

If Cousins didn’t sign an extension this offseason, he’d already be on the bench. He’s leading the NFL with 10 interceptions and with Minnesota at 1-5, there’s little reason to think things are about to turn. Cousins has experience and talent around him, he’s just been miserable.
