The top five in the quarterback rankings entering Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season are still dominated by veterans, but there are young rising stars threatening to crack the list.
Mac Jones continues to be impressive while ranking in the top three in completion percentage and leading the New England Patriots to the longest active winning streak in the NFL.
Jones hasn't quite broken into the top five quarterbacks this season just yet, but he is definitely trending in the right direction while having an excellent rookie campaign. He may get there at some point, but for now here are the top five quarterbacks in the NFL this season.
#5 - Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Last week: #2
Dak Prescott fell a few spots in the quarterback rankings after a disappointing performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was unable to capitalize on their weak passing defense for his worst game of the year so far. He still has an excellent season, ranking in the top five in the NFL in completion percentage, yards per completion, passer rating and passing touchdowns.
#4 - Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Last week: Unranked
Despite losing to the Minnesota Vikings last week, Aaron Rodgers entered the quarterback rankings with a huge statistical performance. He threw for four touchdowns and zero interceptions. Rodgers has been efficient as usual this season with 21 touchdown passes against just four interceptions. He ranks fourth in QBR and second in passer rating.

Last week: #3
Matthew Stafford is having an impressive first season with the Los Angeles Rams and is in the top three of the Week 12 quarterback rankings. He leads the NFL in QBR while ranking fourth in passer rating and third in yards per completion. He is coming off a bye week and will look to build chemistry with Odell Beckham Jr. for the remainder of the 2021 NFL season.
#2 - Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Last week: #4
Tom Brady is making a strong case for the NFL MVP award this season and currently comes in second in the quarterback rankings. He has the most touchdown passes in the NFL this season and the second-most passing yards. He is in the top five in QBR and passer rating while leading the Buccaneers to the second ranked offense in the NFL.
#1 - Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Last week: #1
Despite not playing the last three games, Kyler Murray still sits at the top of the quarterback rankings for his excellent numbers. He leads the entire NFL in completion percentage, yards per completion and passer rating while also ranking sixth in QBR and passing yards per game. Maintaining efficiency while also consistently delivering big plays is hard to do but Murray has mastered it this year.
