NFL quarterback rankings, Week 13: Patrick Mahomes goes God mode
The Kansas City Chiefs are 10-1, and Patrick Mahomes is on pace for his second 5,000-yard season, and clearly another MVP award.
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.
Let’s party…
Cincinnati Bengals. player. Scouting Report. QB. Brandon Allen. 32. 56. Pick Analysis
2020 stats: 136 yards | 58.6 completion % | 1 TDs | 1 INTs | 4.7 YPA | 10.9 QBR
Last Week: NA
Somehow, the Bengals are starting Brandon Allen. Without Joe Burrow, it’s tough seeing Cincinnati win a game the rest of the year.
QB. Jacksonville Jaguars. player. 52. Pick Analysis. Mike Glennon. 31. Scouting Report
2020 stats: 235 yards | 57.1 completion % | 2 TDs | 0 INTs | 6.7 YPA | 48.0 QBR
Last Week: NA
Could you believe your eyes when you saw “Glennon” go across the ticker on Sunday? Me neither. We live in a strange place.
Pick Analysis. New York Jets. 30. Scouting Report. QB. Sam Darnold. 30. player
2020 stats: 1,242 yards | 58.7 completion % | 3 TDs | 8 INTs | 5.7 YPA | 36.7 QBR
Last Week: NA
The Jets are 0-11, and Darnold is the poster child for a franchise who can’t figure how to properly utilize any of its assets. Talented but with bad habits, Darnold is regressing by the day.
Chicago Bears. 29. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Mitch Trubisky. player. 57
2020 stats: 802 yards | 58.3 completion % | 9 TDs | 5 INTs | 6.1 YPA | 54.1 QBR
Last Week: NA
Nothing says Trubisky like scrambling around aimlessly while launching two of the ugliest interceptions you’ll ever see. Please make it stop.
Taysom Hill. 15. Pick Analysis. QB. New Orleans Saints. 28. player. Scouting Report
2020 stats: 397 yards | 70.5 completion % | 0 TDs | 1 INTs | 9.0 YPA | 53.2 QBR
Last Week: 23
Hill looked promising in his first start against the Falcons. Then, Denver happened. The BYU product threw for 78 yards and an interception, all while producing exactly two completions more than five air yards. Not great.
QB. Philadelphia Eagles. Carson Wentz. 27. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 54
2020 stats: 2,541 yards | 58.1 completion % | 16 TDs | 15 INTs | 6.0 YPA | 49.7 QBR
Last Week: 28
Wentz leads the league in turnovers. He also leads the NFL in looking completely shattered from a confidence standpoint. The Eagles need to rebuild him from the ground up, and it might be best for all parties to do so while Jalen Hurts plays out the string.
45. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. player. Denver Broncos. Drew Lock. 26
2020 stats: 1,767 yards | 55.6 completion % | 7 TDs | 11 INTs | 6.6 YPA | 40.2 QBR
Last Week: 27
Lock didn’t play on Sunday because, well, he’s a quarterback for the Denver Broncos. He returns for Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead, getting a chance to pull perhaps the season’s biggest upset. To this point, Lock has been dreadful with accuracy and decision-making.
San Francisco 49ers. Nick Mullens. player. 42. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. 25
2020 stats: 1,642 yards | 67.5 completion % | 6 TDs | 7 INTs | 8.0 YPA | 44.7 QBR
Last Week: 26
Mullens is the quintessential backup quarterback. He makes ugly mistakes, he makes some very nice throws, has a touch of mobility and generally keeps his team in the game. Against the Rams, it was enough to get a surprise win.
