TLBS "Staff" - 2026 Consensus Top 10 NFL Quarterbacks

YouTube video: coming soon...

It's that time of year ladies and gentlemen! Time for the officially official TLBS "Staff" quarterback rankings for the upcoming NFL season! Crazy enough this is the fifth installment of the TLBS "Staff" rankings, with a whopping 22-people submitting their lists for this season!

It's crazy to think that we've been doing this for this long, and it's even crazier to think about what everyone's lists looked like when I first started doing this back in 2022. I mean, Kyler Murray was featured in that top-10, and now he's embroiled in a quarterback battle with the infamous "9" up in Minnesota. Crazy how much things change over time.

The thing is though that's what makes this experiment so much fun each and every year, because you never know who will place which quarterback at what spot. With 22-people submitting lists this year (the most ever) 18-different quarterbacks got a mention, with some really hard fought battles taking place towards the bottom of the top-10.

Now, if you don't know how this works each ranking gets assigned a certain number of points. So lets just say hypothetically you ranked Nathan Peterman first on your list, he would receive 10-points towards his officially official final ranking. Second place would then receive nine points, third would receive eight, fourth would receive seven, and so on and so forth. Once all the lists have been submitted, I then add up each point tally to come up with the officially official rankings! Make sense?

With all that being said I, Logan Blackman, host of the Logan Blackman Show am proud to present to you the officially official TLBS "Staff" quarterback rankings for the 2026 NFL season! Enjoy!
