Madden 22 Quarterback Rankings

---

Madden 22 is out and features all of the best and brightest stars, none bigger than star quarterbacks. There has been a change in the leaderboards after a phenomenal season for Tom Brady and an inconsistent start for Patrick Mahomes. Players like Mac Jones have seen impressive boosts (from 71 to 77), while others have taken a dip, like Deshaun Watson (90 to 86). I’m not sure what EA expected from Watson this season or what he did to regress but I guess they are assuming he is getting rusty on the bench. Here are the Madden 22 quarterback rankings.

Rank	Player	Team	Overall
1.	Tom Brady	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	98
2.	Patrick Mahomes	Kansas City Chiefs	97
3.	Aaron Rodgers	Green Bay Packers	96
4.	Russell Wilson	Seattle Seahawks	92
5.	Lamar Jackson	Baltimore Ravens	91
6.	Dak Prescott	Dallas Cowboys	90
7.	Kyler Murray	Arizona Cardinals	88
8.	Josh Allen	Buffalo Bills	87
9.	Deshaun Watson	Houston Texans	86
10.	Ryan Tannehill	Tennesee Titans	85
11.	Justin Herbert	Los Angeles Chargers	84
12.	Derek Carr	Las Vegas Raiders	83
13.	Mathew Stafford	Los Angeles Rams	83
14.	Joe Burrow	Cincinnati Bengals	82
15.	Matt Ryan	Atlanta Falcons	82
16.	Kirk Cousins	Minnesota Vikings	81
17.	Colin Kaepernick	Free Agent	81
18.	Baker Mayfield	Cleveland Browns	80
19.	Mac Jones	New England Patriots	77
20.	Teddy Bridgewater	Denver Broncos	77
21.	Jameis Winston	New Orleans Saints	76
22.	Jimmy Garoppolo	San Francisco 49ers	75
23.	Justin Fields	Chicago Bears	75
24.	Carson Wentz	Indianapolis Colts	74
25.	Trevor Lawrence	Jacksonville Jaguars	74
26.	Tua Tagovailoa	Miami Dolphins	74
27.	Ben Roethlisberger	Pittsburg Steelers	73
28.	Jared Goff	Detroit Lions	73
29.	Ryan Fitzpatrick	Washington Football Team	73
30.	Andy Dalton	Chicago Bears	72
31.	Jalen Hurts	Philadephia Eagles	72
32.	Trey Lance	San Francisco 49ers	72
33.	Zach Wilson	New York Jets	72
34.	Cam Newton	Carolina Panthers	71
35.	Sam Darnold	Carolina Panthers	71
36.	Taylor Heinicke	Washington Football Team	71
37.	Daniel Jones	New York Giants	70
38.	Marcus Mariota	Las Vegas Raiders	70
39.	Tyrod Taylor	Houston Texans	70

The list overall appears to be solid but there are some abnormalities. I find it hard to believe that Mathew Stafford and Derek Carr are the exact same overall (83). I certainly would have Stafford higher, in the 86 overall range. Baker Mayfield also has 95 throw power, tied with Stafford and one rating higher than Herbert. If Mayfield and Herbert had a throw-off, I would bet my life savings on Justin Herbert.

Who is the best quarterback in Madden 22?

The best quarterback in Madden 22 is Tom Brady, with a 98 overall rating. While the game’s rating is not indicative of the actual best quarterback in the NFL, it is still incredible that the highest-rated player is 44-years-old. If he starts to regress today (which he won’t), he could actually be a starting-caliber quarterback at 50-years-old.

When the game launched, Patrick Mahomes was a prestigious member of the 99 club and the top-ranking quarterback. However, Brady has been dominant and Mahomes has not looked quite as invincible as years past. As a result, Mahomes was demoted to a 97 overall.

Who is the fastest quarterback in Madden 22?

Lamar Jackson is the fastest quarterback in Madden 22 with 96 speed and 96 acceleration. The question itself is somewhat silly considering how obvious it is. If you were wondering, yes he can be used in a game-breaking way in Madden 22, with so much speed you won’t know what to do with it.

Who has the strongest arm in Madden 22?

Josh Allen has the strongest arm in Madden 22, with 99 throw power. Allen should be able to let 60+ yard bombs rip with relative ease. Patrick Mahomes came in second with 97 throw power. This result is not too surprising, though I would not definitively say Allen has a stronger arm in real life.

Colin Kaepernick in Madden 22:

The strangest part of this list has to be Colin Kaepernick’s rating in Madden 22. Regardless of your beliefs, it ruins the realism of franchise mode to see Kaepernick trotting out in Philadephia over Jalen Hurts, or in Miami over Tua Tagovailoa. I don’t mind Kaepernick being in the game but his 81 overall rating results in a young, potential franchise quarterback, that a team recently spent high draft capital on, to be put on the bench for a 34-year-old half-retired quarterback.

If they want to throw Kaepernick in the game, great, it adds more for the user to create his own experience. However, his rating is making other teams make decisions that aren’t happening in the real world.
