The NFL quarterback hierarchy is starting to shift just four weeks into the 2025 season. While Patrick Mahomes continues to be the measuring stick, Justin Herbert is closing in on the throne after a dominant start that has the league buzzing. The Chargers star has elevated his play to MVP-caliber levels, combining efficiency, power, and clutch decision-making that’s made him one of the hardest QBs to defend.
But Herbert isn’t the only storyline in the Week 4 QB rankings. Daniel Jones, often criticized for inconsistency in the past, has forced his way into the top 10. His improved play — highlighted by better pocket presence and timely throws — has helped stabilize the Giants’ offense and caught the attention of analysts who once doubted his ability to lead at an elite level.
Elsewhere, familiar names like Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Jalen Hurts remain near the top, though each has faced unique challenges early in the year. The rankings reflect not just talent but momentum, and Week 4 has proven that the race for quarterback supremacy is anything but settled.
For now, Mahomes still wears the crown. But with Herbert rising fast and new names like Jones climbing into the conversation, the 2025 season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting quarterback battles in recent memory
