Ranking NFL's top 10 quarterback/coach duos in 2021: Tom Brady, Bruce Arians unseat Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid

Brady and Arians needed only one year together to take over No. 1

One year has passed since the debut of our quarterback/coach duo rankings, and plenty has changed in the top 10. The list was bound to have new members and others leave the group, but some entered the chat in a bigger way than expected.  Last season was the year Josh Allen became a MVP candidate (who would have predicted that heading into the season?) and Baker Mayfield led the Cleveland Browns to their first playoff win in 26 years. It was truly an unpredictable year; just look at the Super Bowl champions.  Before we scroll down to the 2021 quarterback/head coach rankings, let's revisit the qualifications for this list. There was a reason Tom Brady was off the list last year and Sean McVay is omitted this year.
