NFL QB rankings: Arizona Cardinals face 7 borderline stars or better in 2025
The Cardinals will face 14 different starting quarterbacks in 2025. See where they rank.
As we have reached the point of the offseason where content is mostly reduced to lists and rankings, we have some quarterback rankings/tiers from CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin. We have looked at Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the tiers where he and fellow NFC West quarterbacks fall, but now we want to look at the Cardinals' opponents.
These are the tiers:
The Cardinals face a healthy dose of the lowest tiers. Let's have a look.
Tier 6 opponent QBs for Cardinals
Seven quarterbacks total are in this tier. The Cardinals face four of them.
Tier 5: Prized projects
Ward is the one rookie quarterback with real promise. The Cardinals will face him early in the season.
Tier 4: Volatile veterans
Kyler Murray falls into this tier, too.
Tier 2: Borderline stars
The Cardinals will not face any of the four rising stars in Bo Nix, Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy and Caleb Williams, so we move to the very good group.
Tier 1: Transcendent talents
Six quarterbacks make this list. The Cardinals only have to face one:

NFL offensive playcaller rankings: 2025 Arizona Cardinals opponents
More rankings? Yes, of course. You know you want them and that you like to read them. These come from Pro Football Network, ranking all 32 teams' primary offensive playcaller. Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, the playcaller for the Cardinals, is in the middle of the league, coming in 15th in the league. Advertisement The Cardinals revamped their defense this offseason. How challenging will their job be against opposing playcallers? Let's have a look at where their opponents rank in 2025. NFL offensive playcaller rankings: Arizona Cardinals' opponents Analysis The Cardinals will have their work cut out for them in the division, as they have four games against McVay and Shanahan, the two top playcallers on this list. They do have six games against bottom-10 playcallers. Nine of their games are against playcallers ranked below Petzing. Factoring all their rankings, the average ranking the Cardinals face is 15.8, meaning, between the good and the less proven, their opposing playcallers are the very definition of league average.

Caitlin Clark named 2025 WNBA All-Star Game captain
captain CC 🤩Caitlin Clark is a #WNBAAllStar2025 captain and two-time All-Star. Caitlin Clark was able to add another ledger to her already impressive resume on Sunday. It was announced that Clark will be a captain at the WNBA All-Star Game, being held in Indianapolis on July 19. She joins Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx as one of two captains for the All-Star Game. The remaining eight starters will be announced on Monday, June 30 and on Tuesday, July 8, Clark and Collier will draft their All-Star rosters for the game. It's the second WNBA All-Star selection in two seasons for Clark, despite only playing in nine of the Fever's 16 games this season after dealing with multiple injuries. In those nine games, Clark is averaging 18.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game, clearly stats deserving of being an All-Star. Clark and Collier were named captains after receiving the most fan votes. Clark led all players in votes, receiving 1,293,526 fan votes with Collier a close second, receiving 1,176,020 fan votes. Clark's impact on the popularity of the WNBA is easy to see, but CBS Sports really put into perspective by comparing the number of fans voting for All-Stars before and after the arrival of Clark in the league. In 2023, the year before Clark's arrival, A'ja Wilson received the most fan votes with 95,860, and the top-30 players had a combined 1,171,708 votes -- fewer than Clark or Collier got by themselves this time around. -Jack Maloney, CBS Sports. Fans can tune in to see who Clark and Collier draft to their All-Star teams on Tuesday, July 8 at 6 p.m. on ESPN. The WNBA All-Star Game is on Saturday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. and can be seen on ABC, Disney+ and ESPN+.
