Finding a weakness for every NFL starting quarterback

There are no perfect football players. Even the best players in their best NFL seasons will not do everything at the highest level.

This is especially true for quarterbacks. We have so many stats now that we can track quarterbacks in different situations and against different coverages and amounts of pressure. Whether it is third down, man coverage or facing a blitz, we know NFL quarterbacks have weaknesses.

I delved deep into our data at Football Outsiders (as well as ESPN Stats & Information's numbers) to identify weaknesses for the starting quarterbacks of all 32 teams. The resulting numbers combine Football Outsiders DVOA and ESPN Total QBR, incorporating ESPN charting and NFL Next Gen Stats tracking. Some of these weaknesses are issues these players have been dealing with for years. Other weaknesses have only appeared in 2022 and, in some cases, are directly counter to the player's stat splits in previous seasons.
