Randy Moss may have quietly unleashed the NFL's most controversial QB debate—leaving fans in uproar
A simple tweet from Hall of Famer Randy Moss has set off the fiercest quarterback debate of the
NFL
offseason. While casually discussing the top five QBs with his son, Moss named four superstars and left the fifth spot open to the public.
What followed was a firestorm of hot takes, rankings, and fan wars across social media platforms.
With the 2025 season looming, the question of who makes the league's 'Fab Five' is hotter than ever.
The missing fifth: Moss sparks a fan firestorm
'Me and my son at lunch trying to pick top 5 QBs…' Moss posted. 'Mahomes Jackson Allen Burrow in no order. Who's the 5th?'
Patrick Mahomes leads the pack, and rightfully so. With three Super Bowl rings, two MVPs, and an 89–23 record, he's in a league of his own.
His career already includes 245 passing touchdowns and the fastest climb to 30,000 yards. Simply put—Mahomes isn't playing football; he's rewriting it.
Lamar Jackson brings electricity every time he touches the field. In 2024, he became the first-ever QB with 4,000+ pass yards and 800+ rushing yards in a season. He holds two MVP awards and the most rushing yards ever by a QB (6,173). His dual-threat dominance is unmatched in NFL history.

Josh Allen continues to redefine physical quarterbacking. Standing 6'5", the 2024 MVP has five straight seasons with 40+ total touchdowns. Known for his bruising runs and deep-ball heroics, Allen once recorded three passing and three rushing TDs in a single game. Even Tom Brady called his game 'frightening.'
Joe Burrow, calm and clinical, is the technician of the group. After wrist surgery, he led the league in passing yards (4,918) and touchdowns (43) in 2024.
His 70.6% completion rate now stands as the highest in NFL history. 'He plays the position the way it was intended,' Chris Simms once said.
The real storm lies in who deserves that final elite slot. Fans flooded replies with names like Justin Herbert, C.J. Stroud, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, and Aaron Rodgers. The debate exposed biases, loyalty, and the razor-thin margins at the top of the league.

For Moss, it was likely just a fun father-son moment. But online, it's turned into the quarterback version of a barroom brawl. And as the season nears, the identity of QB5 may say more about the future of the NFL than any stat sheet ever could.
