2023 QB Rankings #5 - #1
The finale of Terry's QB rankings! #5 - Jalen Hurts (fantastic year but must do it again) #4 - Justin Herbert (has everything to be a top QB but needs to win) #3 - Josh Allen (force of nature who could age quickly without more help) #2 - Joe Burrow (always in control with precise decision making and accurate throws) #1 - Patrick Mahomes (the best; constant fear when ball is thrown deep)

2023 QB Rankings #14 - #6
The penultimate episode for Terry's QB rankings. #14 - Geno Smith (will the clock strike midnight for him?) #13 - Dak Prescott (coming off a high turnover year, will the loss of OC Moore be a good thing?) #12 - Tua Tagovailoa (nothing better than watching a weak armed lefty throw the ball aggressively with success) #11 - Jared Goff (turns out he doesn't need McVay to win!) #10 - Matthew Stafford (awesome ability but is his body failing him?) #9 - Kirk Cousins (always pretty good but needs more playoff success) #8 - Aaron Rodgers (is he cooked or still has something left for the Jets?) #7 - Lamar Jackson (incredibly productive and wins despite questionable accuracy; injuries are becoming a concern) #6 - Trevor Lawrence (will he build off of dominant 2nd half of year?)

2023 QB Rankings #23 - #15
Terry continues the QB rankings. #23 - Mac Jones (can he recover from a terrible season last year?) #22 - Kenny Pickett (plenty of hype around him despite a marginal rookie year and average athleticism) #21 - Deshaun Watson (decent chance he never regains early career form) #20 - Daniel Jones (can't be considered even an average QB when throwing for 15tds in a season) #19 - Jimmy Garoppolo (always accurate and mostly makes good decisions when healthy) #18 - Ryan Tannehill (solid athlete with some past success but is aging) #17 - Derek Carr (reuniting with Dennis Allen is a risky move) #16 - Kyler Murray (unbelievable physical traits despite his size; unbelievably bad optics surrounding him) #15 - Brock Purdy (can he continue fantastic play after recovering from injury?)
