Several quarterbacks have posted elite Total QBR marks through the first seven weeks of the 2026 NFL season, keeping the race for the year-end leader tightly bunched. Brock Purdy leads with an 83.0 rating on efficient passing and low turnovers for the 49ers, followed closely by Lamar Jackson (81.9), Caleb Williams (77.5), Drake Maye (77.3), and Josh Allen (76.2). Additional contenders including Dak Prescott, Joe Burrow, Bryce Young, Patrick Mahomes, and Jared Goff sit within a narrow band, reflecting comparable EPA, completion rates, and touchdown production adjusted for opponent strength. Byes, minor injuries, and week-to-week variance have prevented any single signal-caller from pulling away decisively, while strong supporting casts and defensive schemes continue to influence individual outcomes across multiple teams.
