Quarterbacks. We love them. We debate them. And we do it all because, at the end of the day, they're the most important ingredient in a championship recipe. It's po sible to win it all without an elite signal-caller, but history shows it's much easier otherwise. So we're keeping tabs on all 32 starters throughout the 2023 season.Which ones are the best of the best? And which ones could be nearing a demotion? All QBs are at least partly a product of their respective situations, but this is how we'd sort today's signal-callers right now. These power rankings, unlike offseason QB lists, are focused more on current standing than the bigger picturein an effort to tell the story of QBs' respective rises and falls. Without further ado, the latest pecking order:2023 NFL QB Power Rankings1 Kansas City Chiefs QB The QB standard-bearer has endured a particularly uneven start to 2023, lackadaisically to sing a pair of picks vs. the in Week 4. But there is never a doubt he'll come through in the end. Even "off," he's tied for third in TD pa ses (8).2 Miami Gerrit Cole Jersey Dolphins QB outdueled him in their first battle of 2023. But Tua has been steadier since the jump, propelling Miami's electric attack with MVP-level pocket presence and downfield touch. No one's averaging more yards per attempt (9.6) so far.3 Buffalo Bills QB His rugged dynamism will cost you some games, but more often than not, it'll win you them, as evidenced by his shellacking of the . Despite a bumpy start, he's tied for the most combined TDs (11) among all QBs. He's a big-play machine. (+6)4 Los Angeles Chargers QB Same old: If it weren't for the ' curious coaching and constant close games, Herbert would be drawing MVP buzz. He's been as accurate as ever spreading the ball around even without some top weapons. Only one turnover, too.5 Baltimore Ravens QB As usual, his supporting cast is all kinds of banged up. But it hasn't fazed Jackson as either a runner or pa ser. His aerial efficiency is quietly way up, and he remains a near-unstoppable force on the ground in the red zone. (+2)6 San Francisco 49ers QB This kid deserves more credit. Skeptics pointed to his small sample size as an improbably poised rookie. But he's still slinging it with the same cool confidence for Kyle Shanahan's 4-0 contender. No QB boasts a higher pa ser rating. (-1)7 Philadelphia Eagles QB It's been a weird year for the 2022 MVP runner-up. He's yet to play a complete game, looking a half-step slow sometimes. But his late-game reliability as both a short-yardage runner and deep-ball thrower is a big reason the are 4-0. (+4)8 Houston Texans QB and have been great, but this might be your Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite. Stroud has elevated Houston's rebuilding lineup with tremendous ball placement as one of this year's top pure pocket pa sers. (+2)9 Detroit Lions QB He's now gone three straight games in which he's had to rebound from his own ugly interception. But Goff's had greater resilience than he did Alex Bregman Jersey with the , chipping away at opponents with top-10 accuracy (69.5%) and efficiency (7.9 YPA). (-1)10 Minnesota Vikings QB Go figure: After leading the in TD pa ses during the ' 0-3 start, Cousins had his worst performance in Minnesota's first win of the year. All in all, he's been himself: tough, accurate, but susceptible to ill-timed giveaways. (-4)11 Dallas Cowboys QB Of the top QBs, Prescott has arguably been asked to do the least, thanks to Dallas' suffocating defense leading the way. But he's done his job anyway, controlling the ball with quick reads and wisely feeding when it matters. (+1)12 Jacksonville Jaguars QB Things still haven't exploded the way many anticipated after his hot finish to 2022, but some of that can be attributed to his still-developing chemistry with . Talent has never been the i sue here; it's structure, strategy and execution. (+2)13 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Give this man some Comeback Player of the Year consideration. Mayfield was slowed by the Eagles in Week 4, but he didn't hang his head against an equally tough "D," instead outdoing for another gritty, ball-control victory. (+3)14 Denver Broncos QB The have yet to ease blood pre sure in the Denver area, but Wilson has clearly turned a corner since his lifele s 2022. You'd still like more consistency, but his deep ball is back, and his pa ser rating (106.7) is third best among starters. (+1)15 Seattle Seahawks QB Four games in, it's getting hard to call his 2022 breakout a fluke. He still looks composed in the pocket and zippy with his throws, guiding a 3-1 start. The one hiccup is he's yet to produce a complete game, even against teams like the . (-2)16 Green Bay Packers QB It's been almost all or nothing with ' succe sor. When he's on, everything looks oh-so-smooth, from the scrambles to the effortle s downfield lofts. But his league- George Springer Jersey worst completion percentage (56.1) speaks to the unpredictability. (-13)17 Indianapolis Colts QB The are asking the rookie to throw le s than any other QB, which makes sense considering his backyard-style gunslinging. But he's been so good with his legs, scrambling for four scores in three games, that Indy's stayed feisty.18 Cleveland Browns QB Talk about a roller coaster of a year. In four weeks, he's gone from serviceable to sloppy to good to abruptly injured. Watson still has the tools to own a pocket, but as Year 2 in Cleveland trudges on, the consistency just hasn't been there. (-1)19 Washington Commanders QB The numbers aren't clean, but behind a line that's surrendered the most sacks of any team, Howell has looked like much more than a 2022 fifth-rounder. Aside from the bad game, he's willed Washington into contention with off-script effort. (+2)20 Arizona Cardinals QB Written off as a placeholder for a tanking operation, Dobbs has instead looked like a legitimate starter, bringing underrated mobility and occasionally pinpoint accuracy to a spoiler of a team, even against far superior defenses. (+2)21 Los Angeles Rams QB The Rams are hanging around more than expected in an unofficial rebuilding year, and Stafford still has an arm, thriving best when feeding Puka Nacua. But forced throws behind an iffy line remain an i sue; he's got five picks in four games. ( Houston Astros Jersey -2)22 Chicago Bears QB Everything seemed to click into place for Fields against the Broncos "D," as he finally rediscovered his ability to laser balls downfield. Then the fourth quarter came, and he turned it over twice. Crunch-time miscues keep overshadowing the traits. (+6)23 New Orleans Saints QB There's leaning on the defense, and then there's on the defense. Carr is a gutsy fella and likable leader, but even with decent pa s outlets, he's tended to play it safe and come up with little to show for it. It's been sluggish in New Orleans.24 New York Giants QB Jones still has one of the things that propelled his 2022 resurgence: steady scrambling ability. But when he's not risking his body to run, he struggles mightily to move the ball on a Giants team with poor protection and weapons. It's not pretty. (+1)25 Tenne see Titans QB The have stolen victories from the Chargers and this year, but their QB has been decidedly stale. No longer the athlete he once was, he's struggled to control the ball even in an old-school attack, with four picks in as many games. (+5)26 New England Patriots QB The former first-rounder proved resilient in a couple of comeback attempts to open the year, but faced with a ferocious Dallas front in Week 4, it all fell apart. He is what he is: a pa sable pocket pa ser, but chiefly when his defense is winning. (-8)27 Carolina Panthers QB The No. 1 overall pick hasn't looked nearly as game-changing as his rookie QB counterparts in Houston and Indy. He's having a tough time pushing the ball in a preseason-caliber lineup. But the intangibles are there for long-term hope.28 Cincinnati Bengals QB Four weeks in, it's beyond time for the Bengals to question whether Burrow belongs under center, healthy calf of not. The big-money star has had almost none of his trademark confidence or touch while averaging just 4.8 yards per pa s. (+1)29 New York Jets QB His fumble helped the seal a tight Week 4 Tyler Clippard Jersey win, but only after he showcased elite zip on some tight-window throws to threaten a comeback. Wilson's never had consecutive "big games," but he's at least taken steps as the fill-in QB1. (+3)30 Pittsburgh Steelers QB He reportedly has a chance to suit up despite suffering a knee injury in Week 4. Mitchell Trubisky's mobility might honestly represent a slight upgrade for Pittsburgh's stagnant offense. Either way, the are offensively challenged. (-3)31 Atlanta Falcons QB We're officially on Watch. The remain publicly committed to the 2022 third-rounder, but he's gotten progre sively worse, even as Atlanta tries to mask him behind a big run game. Teammates are growing impatient. (-5)32 Las Vegas Raiders QB With still in concu sion protocol, the rookie could be in for a second straight start after getting walloped by the Chargers' pa s rush in his debut. He's a promising arm, but with little mobility, he's also tough to count on in Las Vegas.
