All-Time Seahawks Quarterbacks Rankings FAQ

What does the “Rating” column represent?

The Rating is a numerical composite score assessing a QB’s tenure with their team, incorporating regular season performance, fantasy value, playoff success, and overall legacy—ranging from peaks like Tom Brady’s 94.3 down to busts at lower scores. See how quarterbacks compare across NFL teams in the Greatest NFL Quarterbacks of All-Time.

What do the “Season,” “Fantasy,” and “Playoffs” columns mean?

These are qualitative tiers rating regular-season excellence (e.g., “Great” for dominant play), fantasy football output (e.g., “Elite” for top scorers), and postseason prowess (e.g., “Elite” for deep runs)—forming the backbone of the overall rating.

How is this QB ranking calculated?

The rankings blend quantitative metrics (regular season, fantasy, post-season) with qualitative judgments on playoffs and franchise legacy, creating a holistic score that prioritizes sustained impact over isolated brilliance.

What do the slang terms in the “Overall” column mean (like “Aura,” “Sigma,” or “NPC”)?

These come from our “Dad Glossary” for a fun, informal vibe on team QB vibes:

    • Aura/Elite: Legendary dominance.
    • Sigma/Great: Consistently elite.
    • Slaps/Good: Solid performers.
    • Chill/Average: Reliable but unflashy.
    • Delulu/Mediocre: Overhyped potential without results.
    • NPC/Subpar: Forgettable and inconsistent.
    • Cooked/Non-Factor: Busts, or too early to tell.
