All 32 NFL quarterbacks (including Lamar Jackson) ranked by Total QBR ahead of Week 14

Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season is set to begin on Thursday night, and the Ravens are 9-3 and refreshed after a much-needed bye following twelve straight weeks of physical football.

Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate, and one of the actual measuring sticks of his candidacy will be where he lands in Total QBR entering the playoffs.

When evaluating quarterback play, a trusted metric is ESPN’s Total QBR rating, which does more than take into account statistics.

According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses.”

So where do Jackson and other NFL quarterbacks, including the Cowboys Dak Prescott, Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, 49ers’ Brock Purdy, Bills’ Josh Allen, and Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, rank entering Week 13 of the 2023 NFL season?

Here’s a look at the QBR ratings for all 32 NFL quarterbacks going into Week 13 of the 2023 season and ahead of Cowboys vs. Seahawks.
