-EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS AND ISNT
The 2024 QB Tiers results are here, complete with commentary from the 50 NFL coaches and executives who were granted anonymity to share candid evaluations. The panel consisted of seven general managers, eight head coaches, 12 coordinators, 12 executives, eight assistant coaches and three involved in coaching/analytics.
Each voter placed 30 veteran quarterbacks into five tiers, from best (Tier 1) to worst (Tier 5). Quarterbacks were then ranked by average vote and placed into tiers based on vote distribution, beginning with Mahomes, whose 1.00 average vote reflected his status as the only unanimous Tier 1 selection. No QBs landed in Tier 5, although some received Tier 5 votes. The survey excludes rookies because voters have not seen them play in the NFL.
TIER 1:
MAHOMES
BURROW
ALLEN
TIER 2:
JACKSON
5T: HERBERT, STAFFORD
7- RODGERS
8 STROUD
9 DAK
10 GOFF
11 HURTS
12 BROCK

(12)
Purdy rose 13 spots from 2023, tying Jordan Love for the largest jump from last year. His 2.32 average vote is the best for a 49ers quarterback in Tiers history (Colin Kaepernick, 2.50 in 2014).
“When they have had to move the ball via dropback pass, that has been the difference between him and Jimmy (Garoppolo),” a head coach said. “Purdy has done it, and he’s done it in moments where he had to pull the ball down against Detroit and go get a first down with his legs. He has an innate feel. He has proven even when it’s not going well, he’s a quarter away from clicking in, and you’d better have a lead when he does.”
Rough games against Baltimore and Cleveland were exceptions.
“The system really helps, but he maximizes it,” a defensive coordinator said. “I’m not saying he is Kurt Warner, but he reminds me of that type of body. Not big, not a great arm, but he’s accurate, he knows when to get rid of the ball, he’s sharp, he’s a little bit better athlete than you think.”
Warner had even better talent around him while with the Rams.
“I honestly could debate calling Brock a 1,” an offensive play caller said. “He is really underrated. Kyle Shanahan deserves a ton of credit, but there still has to be somebody at the switch.”
The 16 voters placing Purdy in Tier 3 gave more credit to Shanahan and a strong supporting cast.
“I would slide him to the top of 3,” an assistant GM said. “I’m not sold that it is a universal skill set for varying systems. But for their system and their offense, they greatly capitalize on what his abilities are. That is a credit to the coaching staff.”

With so much at stake in 2024, Young finds it hard to see eye to eye with Aiyuk and how the wideout has handled the situation.
"It was like, bro, if you want to tear up the contract and do something big, then you might want to go the fifth year and go prove it out, to make sure that everybody's on board with you setting the market," Young said on Bay Area radio station KNBR.
Young is referring to Aiyuk playing under his fifth-year option and demonstrating that he deserves top receiver money, which he reportedly seeks. While the 49ers value Aiyuk, they're reluctant to make him one of the NFL's highest-paid receivers, especially with quarterback Brock Purdy's impending contract likely to tighten the team's salary-cap flexibility.
Frustrated with the negotiation process, Aiyuk requested a trade before reporting to training camp. The 49ers explored that option and found suitors in the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots. However, Aiyuk derailed both deals by refusing to sign a contract with either team.
"If you're going to ask to be traded, then when they make a trade that works for them, you got to say you're up for it," Young continued. "You don't say, 'Oh, no, that doesn't work for me,' because then, it was like, 'Well, what do you want?'"
Despite the tension, Young believes reconciliation is possible.
"It's not like they're broken relationships, but it's stretched. It's strained," he said. "And I think, at the end of the day, Brandon's now sitting in front of a contract that's probably [one that] the 49ers have stretched as much as they possibly can. They don't want to set the market. They don't want to do it. They don't think it's the time."
Young sees Aiyuk as being "in a bind" with two choices: play on the fifth-year option or accept the 49ers' latest offer. The challenge is that Aiyuk seemingly wants to remain in Santa Clara while also nearing the top of the receiver pay scale.
"That's where the agent's got to be able to figure out a way to bring that player to see the values other than the dollars," Young said. "... [To tell Aiyuk] there's a lot of great players out there that are playing with brutal teams that have no chance to see the full measure of who they could be as a player, and that's not you."
As for Williams, Young understands his perspective. Williams is the best offensive lineman in the NFL, but his current deal, which once set the market, no longer reflects that and lacks guaranteed money in its remaining years. However, with the big picture being a championship, it's tough for the Hall of Fame quarterback to side with Williams.
"Now, you're going to come back and say, 'No, I want to set [the market] again because there's another $8 million collectively that I can go get. I'm on my last contract, and I'm getting older,'" Young commented. "Bro, do you not see what we're trying to get done here? ... So, I think that the noise that Trent has made, which luckily Brandon's covered him a little bit, I just don't know. When you're the best in the league, you've been here for a while, you're older, you're more mature, there's a way to do this that ... now, we're still here."
Young believes that resolving the Aiyuk and Williams situations before Week 1 and securing a win against the New York Jets will help everyone forget about the offseason drama. However, if the 49ers don't win the Super Bowl, critics may look back at this noisy offseason and start pointing fingers at the three sides while trying to assign blame.
