Cardinals QBs Ranked: Murray 27th, Brissett 25th

A novel analytical approach has been employed to rank NFL quarterbacks for the upcoming 2026 season, diverging from traditional opinion-based lists. This system, which heavily relies on statistics, evaluated players across various categories including offensive impact, accuracy, explosive plays, scoring, lack of turnovers, and clutch performance. The Arizona Cardinals' Kyler Murray was ranked 27th, while teammate Jacoby Brissett secured the 25th position.

In contrast, Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams achieved a third-place ranking with a score of 52, indicating strong performance across multiple metrics. The analytical model is designed to encompass a full 17-game season. A notable aspect of this ranking system is its sole focus on the 2025 regular season, deliberately excluding playoff games where the 'clutch' factor might be more pronounced. This methodology could potentially impact players who had partial seasons, as their career body of work is considered.
