Who’s the Best Quarterback in the NFL Right Now?

It’s a question that every football fan has an opinion on: Who’s the best quarterback in the NFL right now? We break down the stats and take a look at the top contenders.

Tom Brady

New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston area. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston.

The Patriots are also headquartered at Gillette Stadium. An ownership group led by Robert Kraft has held the team since 1994. The team went on to win 16 AFC East titles from 2001 to 2016.

The Patriots have won six Super Bowls—overall, eleven AFC Championship titles—more than any other team as well as being tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl appearances (nine). They also played in and lost Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI. The franchise has since set numerous notable records, including most wins in a ten-year period (126, from 2003 to 2012), an undefeated 16-game regular season in 2007, the longest winning streak consisting of regular season and playoff games in NFL history (21 from October 2003 to October 2004), and the most consecutive division titles won by a team in NFL history (ten straight division championships from 2009 to 2018).

Six-time Super Bowl champion

NFL fans and experts alike have long debated who the best quarterback in the league is.
At the center of this debate is Tom Brady, who has led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl championships.

Brady has been named Super Bowl MVP four times, and he holds numerous NFL records, including most career passing yards and most career touchdown passes. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

Critics argue that Brady’s success is due more to his coaching and supporting cast than his individual talent. They point to his below-average numbers in some statistical categories, such as career interception percentage.

Whether you think Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL or not, there is no denying his status as one of the greatest players in league history.

Throws for an average of 276 yards per game

In the 2018 regular season, Brady completed 385 of 581 passes for 4,355 yards and 29 touchdowns with 11 interceptions, and he also rushed for 35 yards and two touchdowns. His 4,355 passing yards were the seventh-most in a season in NFL history, and his 29 passing touchdowns were tied for eighth. Brady’s passer rating of 97.7 was the second-best of his career, behind only his 112.2 rating in 2010.

Aaron Rodgers

Heading into the 2020 NFL season, there’s one clear answer to the question: Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the league. The Packers signal-caller has been near the top of the quarterback hierarchy for years, but he cemented his place at the top with an MVP performance in 2019.

Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference North division. It is the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, dating back to 1919, and is the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States. Home games have been played at Lambeau Field since 1957.

The Packers are led by current quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is considered by many to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL today. In addition to Rodgers, the Packers have had many other great quarterbacks over the years, including Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Rogers Hornsby.

Two-time NFL MVP

Aaron Rodgers is a two-time NFL MVP and a six-time Pro Bowler. He’s also the highest-paid player in the NFL, with an annual salary of $33.5 million.

Rodgers has led the Packers to nine straight seasons with a winning record, and he’s helped them reach the playoffs in each of those seasons. He’s also led them to six divisional titles, four NFC Championships, and one Super Bowl title.

There’s no doubt that Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now, and he may go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time when he ultimately hangs up his cleats.

Throws for an average of 262 yards per game

In the National Football League, there are a lot of good quarterbacks. There are a few great ones, and then there’s Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers’ star signal caller is not only the best quarterback in the NFL right now, but he’s also one of the best to ever play the game.

Rodgers is a two-time NFL MVP and has led the Packers to six division titles, four NFC Championship appearances, and one Super Bowl victory. He’s also been named to seven Pro Bowls.

What separates Rodgers from the other great quarterbacks in the league is his ability to make plays outside of the pocket. He’s able to keep his eyes downfield and make throws that other quarterbacks wouldn’t even attempt.

Rodgers isn’t just a great quarterback, he’s one of the most entertaining players in the NFL. He’s must-see TV whenever he steps on the field. If you haven’t been watching Aaron Rodgers play football, you’re missing out on one of the greatest players in NFL history
