Here’s your Week 2 NFL QB Rankings — Statistical Breakdown

The numbers make this Top 9 interesting, but they also raise some questions.

What jumps out

Josh Allen: Elite efficiency. 582 yards, 5 passing TDs, zero interceptions and a 125.8 rating, plus major rushing production.

Brock Purdy: 80.4% completion and a 125.6 rating are ridiculous efficiency numbers. Only 56 attempts, however, compared with 73 for Bryce Young and 90 for Tyler Shough.

Bryce Young: The volume leader here — 648 yards and 6 TDs. That's a strong statistical argument for being near the top.

Drew Lock: The sleeper stat line. 4 TDs, zero INTs and a league-leading 127.3 passer rating among these names. His smaller sample matters, though.

Dak Prescott: 6 TDs, only 1 INT and a 117.1 rating. His Week 2 performance also helped Dallas beat Washington 37–20, while he passed Tony Romo for the Cowboys' career touchdown-pass record.

Tyler Shough: 662 passing yards is the highest total in this group, but his 95.7 rating and 2 interceptions show why raw yardage alone doesn't tell the whole story.

👀 The missing names

The biggest statistical question is who isn't on the list.

Patrick Mahomes: 566 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT and a 103.8 rating.

Jared Goff: 533 yards, 6 TDs, 0 INTs and a 113.2 rating.

Jalen Hurts: 467 yards, 5 TDs and 2 INTs.

C.J. Stroud: 627 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs.

Those numbers make the Top 9 much more debatable.


I think asking about efficiency, production, rushing impact, turnovers, or winning, is the fun part of these rankings — not just arguing about No. 1

reply

Ohh shoot the raiders 👀👀👀👀

reply

They are actually watchable :-) 2-0 look at that

reply

Not sure about watchable. It was an ugly win.

reply

No one remembers those, Win is a win... enjoy while it lasts , you playing Saint (who looked good Today) and Chiefs next

reply

3-0 is realistic for us, followed by 4 straight poundings.

reply

"Any given Sunday" You never know... :-)

reply

I’m enjoying these wins but I’ll be losing my mind if we beat any of those top tier teams.

reply

Stop believing the Chargers are good

reply

Jim should be fired! All this Herbert hype

reply

Easy there brother, no one is getting fired after week 2....
(Unless your name is Saleh, then they will wait until week 5)

reply

Saleh won’t get fired.

reply

You're on the clock @ sleepers

reply

Raiders are a going concern.

reply

Browns, Titans, Saints and Jets all winning today would be wild

reply

it would, but not so fast, brother... Jets got Packers and let them go... bummer

reply

Saints are the best team in the NFC South and @Undisciplined crossed them off!

reply

Good chance that whole stupid division will be crossed off soon

reply

Hahahah

reply

Shough didn’t get in but I don’t care if you practically rip someone’s head off to make a stop and the ref doesn’t call it you don’t deserve to have the call overturned.

reply

Lamar pick! Saints win

reply

Big stop by Gadsden for you on 3rd down. Haha Chargers.

reply

Pretty ugly and stupid game so far

reply

49ers winning but their run D sucks.

reply

Raiders are up. Chargers suck

reply

Tucker: Hold my beer.

reply

Why are the Jets handing off from Shotgun on 4th and 1?

reply

There were could of questionable play calls. I like 0-5 package, nice to see five TE on the field

reply

Most teams don't even roster enough TEs for that

reply

My family bought NFL Sunday ticket so now I can watch all the games like Jason Kelce!

reply

Can you also make your draft pick?

reply

so 🧂

last time I checked I was 4 away

reply

Which game are you choosing?

reply

Split View between Houston/cincinnati and Tampa/Cleveland

reply

Two birds with one stone. I saw this in notifications and thought it was for me and it happened to be my turn.

Bryce Young 🙌

reply
127 sats \ 5 replies \ @Car 20 Sep

looks more and more like drew brees every week

panthers team is a ton of fun to watch, young team but explosive

reply

He is not Drew Brees. The Falcons are terrible. he is playing well though. good pick up.

reply
reply

Brees was a first ballot hall of famer. Young hasn't even been a top 10 QB in his career. Maybe a break out year for him. We will see.

reply

haha I’m not calling him a hof just saying he looks a lot like drew brees

reply

Hahahhahaha

reply

Looks like CJ is back to earth after balling out against the Bills. He missed a wide open TD shot. Then skipped a ball in the dirt which he got balled out for a defensive holding. I thought this bengals D was bad.

Looks like the Bears are back to earth. Ain't putting up 59 today.

reply

I think the Bengals D is ok this season

reply

Dexter got that big 4th and inches stuff!! And your call on ATL looks good putting up a bagel in the 1st half. Poor Bijan

reply

He makes a huge difference

reply

Much better.

reply

Starting with Bengals/Texans

reply

Me too but I am fascinated by Ben Johnson vs Brian Flores. let’s see how Caleb likes 80% blitz.

reply

This is the game I am watching

reply

Texans go go go

reply

CJ Missed a TD

reply

No one can score in this game.

reply

Raiders are cooking.

Chargers suck balls.

Let’s go Colts!

reply

Chiefs commit a dumb redzone penalty and then get scored on! Let's go

reply

J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets

Packers stink

reply

We thought we were running out of easy cross-offs

reply

Glock Purdy to the People's Tight End. Get used to it.

reply

Bucs give the Survivor Pool another big blow.

reply

Yup I don’t feel so bad losing with the ravens

reply

Holy crap!

That Chase catch was wild

reply

Hell yeah it was!! wow!

reply

Starting with Titans, Eagles are gonna demolish them..

reply

Titans take the lead!

reply

Stupid Eagles

reply

Browns winning too

reply

Titans are still a couple years away.

reply

...from being a couple years away.

reply

I think Saleh will build a good culture there. They have some nice pieces but I am not sold on Cam Ward.

reply

That's the problem

reply

I just realized I had the Ravens this week! I’m embarrassed 😩 damn NFL!!!

reply

Titans making the Eagles sweat.

reply

Caleb non-contact injury

reply

I am watching MVP Shough right now

reply

Missed field goal after Kelce drop

reply

Kittle is back 👀

reply

Bears fumble on the goal line

reply

62 points in 2 games is still pretty good. haha

reply

What is wrong with Baker and the Bucs offense?

reply

Saints take the lead

Oh shit, it's going to get overturned and there was an egregious uncalled facemask.

Never mind, it stood

reply

I don’t think he got in but glad it stood. that facemask was obscene.

reply

He definitely didn't get in. It might've been worse for the Ravens if the penalty had been called.

reply

4th and inches on the opponent's side of the field should be an automatic go. Texans deserve to only have 3 points.

reply

Chase with an amazing catch 👀

reply

Cards hanging with the champs.

reply

👀

reply

Chiefs fans in disbelief that the refs aren’t cheating for them.

reply

Purdy playing PG today. Every body is getting the ball.

reply

14-6 at half and getting the ball to start the second half if fine but I don’t like the run D. This is a problem. Collins is done for the year. There is no run stuffer coming to save the day. Better scheme it up better until you can make an addition.

reply

I can’t look away

reply

Glock Purdy!

reply

And there is CMC’s first TD

reply

Saints hanging in with the Ravens
