Matthew Stafford receives lower NFL Top 100 ranking than Josh Allen

The NFL Top 100 Players list ranked Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen above Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. This ranking occurred despite Stafford leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns during the 2025 season. Supporters of Stafford argue that his standing is negatively influenced by a perceived bias against pocket passers who lack dual-threat rushing ability. Critics of the ranking point to the 2025 MVP race, where Stafford narrowly edged out New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye in a contest closely tied to rushing production. While the Buffalo Bills feature running back James Cook to support their offense, the Rams rely on a high volume of passing plays in the red zone. This debate highlights the continuing focus on whether mobility should remain a primary factor in evaluating quarterback performance relative to traditional passing statistics.
