The greatest QBs in NFL history are in the table below, ranked using our exclusive formula. That formula measures passing yards, wins, touchdowns and interceptions, as well as durability and game-winning drives. Success is also factored by both Super Bowl wins and playoff wins.
It’s not easy choosing the best quarterbacks in NFL history. That’s because the passing game has gone from unimportant to important to unimportant to important to crucial. A great season for QB in 1968 is much different than a great season by a signal caller in 2026.
Great passers like Peyton Manning and Dan Marino would have thrived in any era, but before 1975, few quarterbacks were asked to throw the football much. That’s why it’s a challenge to compare Brett Favre to Roger Staubach. It’s difficult to judge Bart Starr vs Drew Brees, and so on.
This chart weighs heavily toward QBs who played since 1995. That’s because the yardage and touchdown pass totals have skyrocketed since then. In that way, our rankings are as much a measurement of the great NFL passers as it is quarterbacks, because to be a QB in the NFL now, passing and efficiency is the most important skill.
How the rankings formula works
Quarterbacks who made our list of the 100 greatest in NFL history were ranked using a ratings formula. That formula is explained in detail below:
SCORE = ((.25*W)-(.25*L)) + (8*SBW) + (3*SBL) + (3*PS W) + (YDS/1000) + ((TD/4)*.517) + ((INT/4)*-.314) + (GS/14) + (GWD*.5)
SBW and SBL = Super Bowl wins and losses. “PS W” and “PS L” stand for Post-Season wins and losses. GWD indicate game-winning drives.
