Let’s take a break from roster cuts and delve into Mike Sando’s annual quarterback tiers. There are five tiers:
Tier I: A QB can carry his team each week. The team wins because of him. He expertly handles pure-passing situations. He has no real holes in his game.
The three quarterbacks in the first tier were Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen. I’m in the minority here, but I’d take Lamar Jackson over both the latter two and would rather have C.J. Stroud and Matthew Stafford over Burrow without thinking twice.
Tier II: A QB can carry his team sometimes, but not as consistently.
