Tier 1
Assigned under FindMeMyQB’s published achievement routes and explicit editorial exceptions. This is not an NFL designation or a validated predictive score. Pre-draft evidence is kept separate from NFL accomplishments.
This profile presents sourced paraphrases where available, not a complete scouting record. Historical republications are labeled. Missing data is not a negative evaluation.
5 AP MVP awards (2003, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2013) and 2 Super Bowl wins as starting QB.
At least 2 AP NFL MVP awards AND at least 1 Super Bowl victory as the starting quarterback.
Evaluation cutoff: end of the 2025 NFL season, including its postseason and awards. The 2026 season is excluded. Future season updates wait until the postseason and awards are complete.

The core tables compare all 28 players using the same disclosed NCAA-passing and quarterback-start definitions. Mixed-entry measurement sources are labeled individually; film and advanced-stat archives are not complete.
College starts, seasons, age and development.
Completion rate, passing efficiency, touchdowns and interceptions, with season and competition context.
Recruiting history, scheme, responsibilities and supporting cast.
Source-labeled Combine measurements and testing; missing values shown honestly.
The cohort table contains source-labeled descriptive comparisons. No predictive conclusions have been validated, and missing or conflicting records are not treated as negative results.
Scouting summaries are paraphrases of the linked evaluator or reporter, not a consensus or verbatim report. A later republication date is not the original scouting date. This profile does not use an invented numerical scouting grade.
