If defenses aren’t wary of Trubisky breaking the pocket, he’ll make them pay. He’d have a higher creativity grade if he posed more of a threat as a passer, but when he decides to take off on a scramble, he rarely gets back into passing mode. Considering his strengths and weaknesses, that might be for the best.&nbsp;

Mitch Trubisky

To be fair, the offenses he’s played in have never given Trubisky much of a chance to develop, so it’s not a surprise that he’s become a poor decision-maker. Even that’s a little harsh. It’s not necessarily that Trubisky makes bad decisions; it’s just that the good decisions he makes come a second too late.&nbsp;

I think it’s against the law to write about Dobbs without mentioning his background in rocket science. It would be a stretch to say that his intelligence jumps off the screen, but Dobbs does play with good timing, typically the product of knowing the offense well.

Joshua Dobbs

Dobbs is more than willing to get outside of the pocket and create some offense on his own. He just isn’t very fast, so those scrambles tend to turn into sacks or minimal gains. He shouldn’t give up scrambling completely—it’s a useful tool for him—but he could dial it back a bit more.

New York Jets

Rodgers is notoriously hard on his receivers, mostly due to his obsession with timing. There isn’t a quarterback better at speeding up or slowing down his dropbacks to sync up with his intended target. That, combined with Rodgers’s accuracy, has helped keep his game afloat recently.

Aaron Rodgers

Maybe Rodgers was over playing in Green Bay last season, but he sure didn’t seem interested in holding on to the ball for more than three seconds. That’s not the Rodgers we’re used to seeing, and maybe a fresh start in New York will rejuvenate his playmaking skills.

Mahomes has every pitch. He can throw the 100-mile-per-hour fastball. He can throw the 12-to-6 curve, dropping the ball in between the different levels of the defense. I’ve even seen him throw a slider to get the ball around a defender. And he makes those using any and all arm angles.

Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes isn’t known for his accuracy, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. He misses some on tough throws to the deep parts of the field, and no quarterback is better at throwing a receiver open.

Buffalo Bills

A.J. Epenesa

Xavien Howard

Wilson doesn’t have an overly powerful arm, but he can make some truly impressive plays on the move. He generates a lot of whip, which allows him to make the off-platform throws that you’ll find in his highlight reel.&nbsp;

Zach Wilson

This is where we’ve seen the most improvement from Wilson. He’s getting his eyes to the right places on the field more often—just not often enough for a third-year quarterback.&nbsp;

Geno Stone

Haason Reddick

Tariq Woolen

Allen’s arm affords him a margin of error that no other quarterback in the league enjoys. And he uses that skill to complete throws that no other quarterback in the league would even try.

Josh Allen

Sometimes that dog in Allen takes over and can get a little too excited. More often than not, though, he redeems himself with an incredible play out of structure.&nbsp;

Patrick Mekari

There is a benefit to Murray’s small frame: It makes him hard to catch. Add world-class speed and improving spatial awareness, and you get one of the league’s most dangerous playmakers out of structure. But he’s more than a scrambler. Murray’s arm allows him to make throws from any platform. If defenses rally to tackle him when he escapes the pocket, he quickly counters with strikes downfield.&nbsp;

Kyler Murray

You could pick between “Pocket Presence” and “Timing” for this one. They’re closely related. Kyler’s lack of comfort in the pocket can throw off his timing and cause him to miss open throws around the line of scrimmage. That limits his effectiveness when Arizona dials up a quick-game concept.&nbsp;

Denver Broncos

Bo Nix

Tershawn Wharton

Baltimore Ravens

Kyle Hamilton

Chris Jones

Teven Jenkins

This applies to Thompson-Robinson as both a runner and a passer. He’s athletic enough to serve as the focal point of a run game and force defenses to account for him as a scrambler. And as a passer, DTR has a fluid throwing motion, which allows him to throw around and over the top of defenders.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Thompson-Robinson isn’t a terrible decision maker. He’s just inconsistent and hasn’t played enough football to know any better. That will come with time and reps—if he can get them.

There isn’t another quarterback who scares defenses on designed runs quite like Jackson. His mobility has fueled the Ravens offense for years, and now, in a new system that will spread the field, he has significantly more space to work with.

Lamar Jackson

This is hardly a weakness for Jackson, but it is the area where he has the most room for growth. He does a good job of navigating the pocket, but he’s loose with the football and doesn’t always sense when pass rushers are closing in from the blind side.

Washington Commanders

Howell throws one hell of a fastball. He can also push the ball downfield outside the numbers with impressive accuracy, but he loses velocity when there is pressure in his face or he’s forced off his spot, which drags down his grade here.

Sam Howell

Howell can have trouble finding throwing windows due to his height, and his tendency to drop his eyes to look for escape routes can lead to issues.

Osa Odighizuwa

O’Connell isn’t the quickest guy, but he navigates the pocket well and always keeps his eyes downfield while doing so.&nbsp;

Aidan O'Connell

It’s difficult to pull off the game manager/system quarterback thing when you are constantly throwing passes outside of the receiver’s frame.&nbsp;

Terry McLaurin

New York Giants

Kayvon Thibodeaux

Detroit Lions

Aidan Hutchinson

Browning is a decent athlete for the position. And while he’s not a QB you can build a run game around, that mobility does allow him to navigate the pocket effectively.

Jake Browning

Browning underwent two shoulder surgeries in college, and it shows. He doesn’t drive the ball downfield. Instead, he prefers to float it, which gives defenders time to break on his passes.

Lloyd Cushenberry

There’s a reason the Rams were willing to trade all those picks to draft a quarterback who can’t move. If he has space and time in the pocket, Goff can launch a deep ball over the head of a flat-footed safety and hit a deep out from the opposite hash.

Jared Goff

Goff has the mobility of one of those green Army men. Even if he were more willing to leave the pocket, he wouldn’t make it very far before a defender chased him down. I’ve run out of ways to call him slow, so let’s move on.

Emphasis on strength. Baker can throw the ball as hard as any QB in the league, but power comes in handy only so often. And when he’s forced to alter the trajectory of a pass, his lack of arm talent becomes apparent. Mayfield is like a power pitcher who has no control over his off-speed stuff. It works in certain situations, but not ones requiring a bit more guile.

Baker Mayfield

My best comp for Mayfield’s pocket navigation is a Plinko chip.

Jonathan Allen

The Bears offense took off last year once the coaching staff centered their system on Fields’s running ability. Fields didn’t just make the run game more efficient; he also made it more explosive. Any Fields carry was liable to go for 6. And now that he has a bit more help, defenses won’t be able to key in on him every time he drops back to pass.

Justin Fields

It’s not easy playing behind an offensive line that can’t be trusted, but Fields could help his cause by getting rid of the ball more quickly. Expediting his process would also help him cut down on the interceptions, which mostly come when he overthinks and knocks himself off rhythm.

Maybe after Jones’s legs helped push the Giants to the postseason, defenses will start respecting him as a threat on the ground. It’s not just in the designed run game, either. Jones is growing more confident as a playmaker outside the pocket, which has helped keep the Giants passing game afloat when the receivers can’t get open.

Daniel Jones

Jones has improved as a decision-maker, but there are still times when it seems like he’s playing with a blindfold on.

It’s a shame that Minshew loves to get outside the pocket so much because he’s quite good within it. He’ll slide away from pressure and keep his eyes downfield, which is rare for a shorter passer. And Minshew can also get creative with his arm angles to avoid batted balls, which is helpful for the 6-foot-1 quarterback.&nbsp;

Gardner Minshew

This would be less of an issue if Minshew didn’t insist on trying to be Patrick Mahomes about five times per game.&nbsp;

Zappe is probably awesome at the arcade game where you throw a football into holes of varying sizes. Add in a pass rush and moving targets, and things get a little dicey, but if the conditions are ideal, Zappe generally gets the ball where it needs to go.&nbsp;

Bailey Zappe

He throws like a guy named Bailey Zappe.&nbsp;

Walker’s arm isn’t just strong; it’s also flexible. If you picked out five random plays of his, you might see him throw from five different arm angles. That agility allows him to throw around taller pass rushers and avoid batted balls that other shorter quarterbacks might fall victim to.

P.J. Walker

Walker is the rare quarterback who makes more sound decisions when he gets outside of the pocket. Getting an unobstructed view of the field probably helps.&nbsp;

You know how to make up for a lack of arm strength? By throwing the ball before defenses have a chance to react. Tagovailoa isn’t the most ambitious playmaker outside the pocket, but he’s a daring passer inside it. He’ll test windows before they open up, and when he guesses right, those quick strikes lead to long gains.

Tua Tagovailoa

Tagovailoa’s grade here would be even lower if not for his craftiness as a passer. He uses his eyes to move defenders out of throwing lanes, which is one way he helps elevate Mike McDaniel’s cleverly designed offense. But his lack of arm strength shows up when he has to throw on the move, which limits his playmaking.

Frankie Luvu

Jonah Jackson

Tyson Campbell

Mark Andrews

Heinicke is willing to subject himself to big, painful hits if they allow him to pick up a few extra yards or make a throw downfield. He’s also a good enough athlete who has just enough arm strength to make some cool-looking plays outside of structure. But when he fails to pull those off, which happens often, you can see why he’s had a hard time getting off the bench.&nbsp;

Taylor Heinicke

Heinicke made it to the NFL thanks, in part, to his willingness to try cool shit. So who am I to tell him to tone it down? We need more fast-and-loose backups. These decisions may not help your team all the time, but they’re always fun to watch.&nbsp;

Andrew Thomas

If Bagent doesn’t make it as an NFL quarterback, he can always fall back on coaching. He clearly understands how to execute plays. Applying that knowledge isn’t always a smooth process, though.&nbsp;

Tyson Bagent

While Bagent can make throws on the run, his pure arm strength might be the worst among NFL starters. We’ve seen plenty of quarterbacks improve their arm strength over time, but he’s got a long way to go just to get to league-average arm talent.&nbsp;
