NFL quarterback rankings, Week 9: Here comes Patrick Mahomes
51. Pick Analysis. QB. Los Angeles Rams. player. Scouting Report. Jared Goff. 13
2020 stats: 2,145 yards | 65.5 completion % | 13 TDs | 6 INTs | 7.6 YPA | 60.2 QBR
Last Week: 9
Miami blitzed Goff non-stop and it resulted in 5.8 yards per attempt and two back-breaking interceptions. It’s impossible to rank Goff on a weekly basis because nobody has more variance in their game. He goes from great to terrible at a moment’s notice.
Scouting Report. 13. player. Pick Analysis. QB. Los Angeles Chargers. Justin Herbert. 12
2020 stats: 1,820 yards | 67.4 completion % | 15 TDs | 5 INTs | 8.0 YPA | 76.3 QBR
Last Week: 13
If you had to build a team around Herbert for the next 15 years, you should be thrilled. The kid has the ability to move around, make every throw and face down pressure. Although it came in a loss, Herbert went 29-of-43 for 278 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Just look at this chart. It’s beautiful. The only concern right now is being a bit too risky, causing the turnovers.
Scouting Report. Las Vegas Raiders. 28. Pick Analysis. QB. Derek Carr. 11. player
2020 stats: 1,838 yards | 71.1 completion % | 14 TDs | 2 INTs | 7.8 YPA | 77.5 QBR
Last Week: 12
Give Carr his due. After quietly having a good season in 2019, he’s backed it up by being even better in 2020. Looking around the AFC, Carr has a case to make the Pro Bowl if he keeps this pace up. He has a real shot to go for 4,000 passing yards and 30 touchdown strikes.
QB. Baltimore Ravens. 26. Pick Analysis. Lamar Jackson. 10. player. Scouting Report
2020 stats: 1,343 yards | 60.5 completion % | 12 TDs | 4 INTs | 7.1 YPA | 63.8 QBR
Last Week: 7
Jackson has to drop. He turned the ball over four times on Sunday, including a pick-six and two fumbles in the red zone. Additionally, the losing to good teams thing? It’s real. The Ravens have played two quality opponents all year in Pittsburgh and Kansas City. Jackson has been awful in both games.
QB. 9. Scouting Report. player. 15. Pick Analysis. New Orleans Saints. Drew Brees
2020 stats: 1,898 yards | 73.1 completion % | 13 TDs | 3 INTs | 7.5 YPA | 79.1 QBR
Last Week: 11
Brees had another effective game on Sunday, this time earning an overtime win over the Bears. Despite being without Michael Thomas since Week 1 and Emmanuel Sanders during his COVID-19 diagnosis, Brees is keeping the Saints on schedule with rhythm passing and the occasional dart.
Pick Analysis. Buffalo Bills. 8. player. Scouting Report. Josh Allen. 16. QB
2020 stats: 2,172 yards | 67.1 completion % | 16 TDs | 5 INTs | 7.8 YPA | 80.8 QBR
Last Week: 8
Allen started the season like gangbusters. The last four games have seen him play somewhere in the middle of his crazy start and the poor 2019 effort he gave us. Ultimately, Allen is on the fringe of being a top-10 quarterback, and after his first two campaigns, that’s a great trajectory.
