For years, one request has consistently echoed throughout the PFF community: bring back the QB Annual. It's been a request that was difficult to ignore and one that was well deserved.
The original QB Annual wasn't just another quarterback ranking. It was one of the most comprehensive quarterback evaluation tools available to football fans — a deep dive into every starter's season through the lens of PFF grading and advanced metrics. People used it to settle debates. Analysts referenced it throughout the year. Fans all over the globe learned something new by thumbing through the pages.
On July 1st, the PFF QB Annual will return, and the mission remains the same. We want to provide the most complete evaluation of quarterback play anywhere. Only, this year, things will be vastly improved.
The original Annual lived in a PDF. You downloaded it, flipped through pages and bounced back and forth trying to compare players. It was packed with information, but it was still a static document. The 2026 PFF QB Annual is something entirely different. And now, it won't require a printer.
Built from the ground up as an interactive digital experience, the 2026 QB Annual is designed to be explored rather than simply read. Every chart will be interactive. Every metric will come with context. It works on your phone, your tablet or your desktop.
Every projected starting quarterback in the NFL receives a dedicated profile page featuring the data that matters most. Here's some of what you'll find inside:
📊 Grading breakdowns: overall grade, situational grades and game-by-game performance trends.
🔀 Situational splits: clean pocket, pressure, blitz, play action and performance metrics across different coverages.
🏈 Throw-type profiles: play-level charting that shows how each quarterback wins, where he struggles and what his throws actually look like.
🎯 Accuracy maps: visual breakdowns of ball placement and accuracy by area of the field.
⏱️ Time-to-throw trends: how quickly each quarterback operates and how that changes by situation.
🔥 Pressure profiles: How often pressure arrives and how each quarterback responds when it does.
The Annual also introduces a new interception luck model, designed to separate quarterback decision-making from variance and finally answer a question fans ask every season: Did a quarterback's turnover numbers reflect how he actually played, or was he simply the victim of a few unlucky bounces over 17 games?
And the experience extends well beyond individual player profiles. The QB Annual opens with a league-wide overview of quarterback play in 2025, featuring efficiency leaders, pressure-performance standouts, the biggest risers and fallers and the trends that defined the position across the NFL.
The QB Annual has always been about giving fans, analysts and teams a better way to understand quarterback performance. The 2026 edition arrives July 1, exclusively on PFF+. Over the next four weeks, we'll show you exactly what's inside — and why it's worth being there when it drops.
