Each week this season we have been ranking NFL quarterbacks using different stats. Usually we’ve gone with something a bit more complex than the traditional yards and touchdown totals you’ll see on Sunday broadcasts. Nevertheless, trends have emerged during the year – usually involving Brock Purdy at or near the top of the list. In an effort to get a breath of fresh air, this time around we’ve gone with passing yards. That yielded a different group of names at the top, including the guy who might be the best rookie quarterback in league history.
Here’s how the top 35 quarterbacks stack up in passing yards this season.
