re: The Athletic's 2023 QB Tiers.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but Goff is top 10 in my opinion now.
And Purdy is way too low.

I am taking Daniel Jones over Stafford, Watson, Cousins, Carr, Goff, Wilson and Garoppolo

You're just going to say that with no supporting information?

32nd in YPG
21st in TDs
5th most sacks taken (not completely his fault)
25th YPA

The good:

6th in completion %
6th in QBR

The completion % seems to be in lock step that the team isn't taking chances on offense and he isn't making a lot of long throws.

I think based on all that info he is middle of the pack and towards the lower half of that middle. So you could argue a bit higher but I mean he certainly shouldn't be ahead of Cousins. Goff had twice as many TDs as Jones had and Jimmy G had more in 7 less games. At the end of the day stats have to matter somewhat.

People hate on Cousins way too much. He will never win a title likely but dude is pretty good almost every season

Mahomes should have his own tier.

Patrick Mahomes has no equal in this 10th edition of the Quarterback Tiers, although AFC rival Joe Burrow is close behind.

Tier 1:
1) #Chiefs Patrick Mahomes
2) #Bengals Joe Burrow
3) #Bills Josh Allen
4) #Jets Aaron Rodgers
5) #Chargers Justin Herbert

No equal, but 4 other QBs are in the same Tier as him. If he has no equal, wouldn't it make since to just put him in Tier 1 (or 1a) by himself and then the other 4 are Tier 2 (or 1b)?

Dak in tier 2 jumped out at me first. He was pretty bad last year.

He was good for at least one INT a game, including multiple Pick Sixes late in the season. Otherwise, he had a solid year.
