When it comes to NFL smart guys, there aren’t many smarter than Warren Sharp. So when he talks about players and projections, we listen. Sharp recently placed 38 NFL quarterbacks on his tier list based on his projections for the 2025 season. Needless to say, if we are talking about it, the news isn’t great for the Pittsburgh Steelers and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Sharp divided the quarterbacks into seven tiers from S+ down to F. Pretty standard stuff. As we pored over the list, seeing new Steelers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the D Tier was quite disheartening but not at all surprising.

Also of note, former Steelers starting quarterback Russell Wilson, who is now with the New York Giants, and Kenny Pickett, who is now with the Cleveland Browns, are both even worse, landing in the F Tier. But the biggest surprise? Justin Fields, who was the Steelers’ starting quarterback to start the 2024 season and is now replacing Rodgers with the New York Jets, is in Sharp’s A Tier.

One note on this list. Sharp’s intention with this list was to highlight these quarterbacks based on fantasy football production, but truth be told, this typically goes hand in hand for quarterbacks with team success.
