As goes the quarterback, so goes the team. It's not true in the NFL, but it usually is. And it makes sense: In a pa sing league, the pa sers are like royalty -- the biggest influences on whether a team is destined more for a Super Bowl title or a No. 1 draft pick. It's with that in mind that we come to you with the most important pecking order outside of traditional team power rankings: QB Power Rankings. Consider this your cut-and-dry guide to the best and worst of the NFL's signal-callers -- a weekly 1-to-32 rundown of every starter under center. How are the QBs ranked? We try to factor in both current standingandfuture upside. So a long resume doesn't always guarantee an edge over untapped potential, just as a cold streak doesn't always erase a https://www.shopelticsedge.com/new-orleans-pelicans-jeresy/tony-carr-jersey history of succe s. At the end of the day, we're simply trying to sort the QBs based on 2021 value, both now and in the near future. Now, without further ado, let's get to our Week 3 rankings: Week 3 QB Power Rankings1 Kansas City Chiefs QB His acrobatic tendencies actually led to a bad late-game pick against the Ravens, but nine times out of 10, his freewheeling style is what makes the Chiefs special.2 Seattle Seahawks QB It's either short pa s or monster bomb from Ru s, but who cares when he makes it look so pretty? Seattle is going to be competitive all year, as usual, because of his https://www.shopelticsedge.com/new-orleans-pelicans-jeresy/derrick-favors-jersey arm.3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB It's not even a debate at this point: He in his prime at 44. Until anyone proves otherwise, the Bucs remain NFC favorites with the agele s wonder under center.4 Green Bay Packers QB Week 2 sure looked a lot easier for Rodgers. Yes, he was picking on the Lions, but still, a full-speed effort for 60 minutes might've given him six TDs through the air. He's still got it.5 Dallas Cowboys QB Solid, as always. What he lacks in transcendent talent he makes up for with a steady hand. He's also one of the top reasons Dallas is probably the favorite in the NFC East.6 Los Angeles Chargers QB He's got to be a little smarter when trusting his arm to bail him out on certain key downs, but the whole package is still there.7 Los Angeles Rams QB So this is what Stafford looks like on a good team, eh? His big arm will be a season-long highlight for a loaded offense. (+1)8 Arizona Cardinals QB Anyone looking for MVP candidates should definitely look here. Arizona is 2-0 in large part due to Murray's early reminder that he has one of the game's best combos: A rocket arm and near-unmatched mobility. (+2)9 Buffalo Bills QB It's too early to hit the panic button, especially after a 35-0 win, but his accuracy has definitely dipped back to pre-2020 levels. Let's see if he can tighten things up, lest the critics suggest his MVP candidacy was an anomaly. (-2)10 Baltimore Ravens QB What a tough and triumphant performance on prime time against the Chiefs. He still has to get more efficient through the air, but he's darn near unstoppable when he has space. He's only down a spot because of Murray's surge. (-1)11 Tenne see Titans QB Life is so much easier when Derrick Henry is rushing for almost 200 yards. And when Julio Jones shows up.12 Cleveland Browns QB He would be higher if it weren't for the guys directly ahead of him. Mayfield has proven time and again that he's got the fire and wherewithal to shepherd Kevin Stefanski's offense for the foreseeable future. https://www.shopelticsedge.com/new-orleans-pelicans-jeresy/sindarius-thornwell-jersey 13 Minnesota Vikings QB The Vikings may be stumbling, but anyone who tunes in can see that Kirk's still slinging it. He's not perfect, but he consistently gives Minnesota a chance to win by hitting his star wideouts for big plays.14 Las Vegas Raiders QB Raiders fans won't settle for this after Carr's hot start, but let's see him keep it going a bit longer first. He's definitely playing with confidence, and suddenly Vegas looks like a really tough out.15 Denver Broncos QB It's one thing to go off against the Giants and Jaguars; it's another to stay aggre sive against good opponents. We'll see if Teddy does the latter, but there's no denying his poise has rubbed off on the Broncos. (+4)16 Philadelphia Eagles QB Week 2 was really uneven for him, with few deep shots working and only late-game scrambles moving the chains, but his coach's play-calling didn't always help. He's still playing quickly and smoothly for a surprisingly competitive team. (+1)17 Cincinnati Bengals QB So much for Burrow looking completely comfortable post-knee surgery. Week 2 was chock-full of poor decisions, though it's fair to wonder how much Zac Taylor's strategy hindered the offense as well. (-2)18 New England Patriots QB The numbers aren't wild, but he's been very structured and reliable for a guy making his first NFL starts.19 Carolina Panthers QB Another post-Adam Gase succe s story! Or so it seems. Darnold is moving around and zipping it with a confidence rarely, if ever, seen in New York. The Panthers just might be good! (+5)20 San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy G made some nice plays in crunch time to beat the Eagles, but only after at least a half of mi ses on routine targets. The 49ers are a deceptive 2-0. Trey Lance time https://www.shopelticsedge.com/new-orleans-pelicans-jeresy/anthony-davis-jersey might be closer than most realize. (-4)21 Atlanta Falcons QB He at least showed some life against the Buccaneers, playing with urgency and hitting on some big plays to keep pace with Tampa for a while. But this still feels kinda like two sides playing out a relationship that's already over. (+1)22 New Orleans Saints QB After Week 1, some Jameis fans insisted he belonged ahead of Aaron Rodgers on this list. Ha. We're all for Winston's big arm, but he's still a boom-or-bust starter until he can string together reliable starts. (-1)23 Pittsburgh Steelers QB He's made some important throws during the Steelers' 1-1 start, but it's fairly clear, for physical and/or schematic reasons, he cannot be counted on to pick up the slack if Pittsburgh' https://www.shopelticsedge.com/new-orleans-pelicans-jeresy/brandon-ingram-jersey s defense falters and Steel City needs a shootout to win.24 Chicago Bears QB With Andy Dalton down, the rookie is set to make his first start. It probably won't be extremely pretty against the Browns, but he at least offers dual-threat play-extending abilities that Dalton has never po se sed.25 Detroit Lions QB Is it po sible he's a bit underrated -- an outcast stuck on an afterthought of a team? Maybe. He still looks good throwing from a clean pocket. But the Lions are the Lions, which means he doesn't have nearly enough help to relive his Rams glory days. (+3)26 Jacksonville Jaguars QB He looked his sharpest out of the gate in Week 2, but from then on, he once again struggled with forcin
