STACKED’s take
Sanders ranked last in QBI (47) and Sando's tier list; 40% worse than next QB.
The Athletic's Mike Sando ranked Sanders last overall in his annual QB tier ranking, placing him in the lowest tier alongside Deshaun Watson. The Quarterback Index (QBI) metric scored Sanders at 47, significantly below all other starting QBs; his 2025 season performance was approximately 40% worse than the next-ranked quarterbacks (JJ McCarthy at 76, Tua Tagovailoa at 78, Cam Ward at 78). The QBI metric isolates quarterback performance from supporting cast contributions, crediting only what the quarterback provides on a per-play basis, yet Sanders still ranked last. Sando's commentary on Sanders was notably harsh: 'I'd sleep like a baby if I got to play him every week.' SB Nation's quarterback data also had Sanders' 2025 performance at the bottom of the league.
