Quarterbacks. We love them. We debate them. And we do it because they're the most important ingredient in a championship recipe. Not that it's impo sible to win without an elite signal-caller, but history tells us that 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? Which ones are decidedly not? All QBs are 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 each QB's respective rise and fall. Without further ado, the latest pecking order:2023 NFL QB Power Rankings1 Baltimore Ravens QB His numbers aren't mind-bending, but his efficiency is on a new level. For a guy who's long been dinged for "just" having elite athleticism, Jackson is now completing pa ses at a higher rate than anyone in the game. And he's still a game-wrecker with his legs! Even with a hit-or-mi s WR corps, he's on pace for the second MVP award of his career. (+2)2 Philadelphia Eagles QB Speaking of MVP, Hurts is right back in the mix. Even with some reckle s streaks early in the year, he's up to 22 total TDs for the best team, virtually unstoppable on the ' notorious push play. The guy is never fazed, whether trailing late or battling through a battered knee, and that composure rubs off on the rest of the club. (+2)3 Buffalo Bills QB As Allen goes, the Erik Swanson Jersey go. And this year, with unpredictable help outside of , he's gone both up and down, often in the same game. No QB has more TDs (24), and no QB has more interceptions (9). A roller coaster. (-1)4 Houston Texans QB We've gone beyond Offensive Rookie of the Year now. Let's start discu sing MVP. At 22, the rookie is slinging it to every level with both precision and authority. With 14 TDs vs. just one pick, he's single-handedly made Houston relevant. (+9)5 Kansas City Chiefs QB He's yet to consistently hit his own Hall of Fame standard during the ' 6-2 start, but as per usual, he's taken care of busine s in the clutch. His mobility is also saving Kansas City more than most might realize; he ranks fourth among QBs in rushing yards (258) this year, and he's averaged more yards per carry than any of the 10 QBs with 200+ yards.6 Cincinnati Bengals QB Any early-season concerns about Burrow losing a step can safely be put to bed. Joe Cool is now showcasing elite slipperine s while extending plays from the pocket, and he's cleared a 108 pa ser rating in three of his last four. (+1)7 Miami Dolphins QB Two things can be true: Tua is a masterful point guard for an Shed Long Jersey explosive offense; his 2022 breakout wasn't a fluke. But he's still looking to prove he can transcend physical, superior defenses, especially when playing from behind. (-6)8 Dallas Cowboys QB Complain about the ' inability to get over the finish line in big games, but don't pin the primary blame on Dak. The steady, savvy vet is reading the field very well (70.2% completion), and his toughne s nearly upset the Eagles.(+2)9 San Francisco 49ers QB Three straight games with critical late-game giveaways have the skeptics out in full force. But with a reinforced supporting cast, Purdy is poised to settle down a bit. He's still been one of the NFL's most efficient starters for Kyle Shanahan.10 Los Angeles Chargers QB Herbert is too gifted physically to consistently post ugly numbers, but Monday night's showing vs. the stingy "D" was a reminder that, for all his MVP talent, the actual pace and results of his play have tended to be "just good enough." (-4)11 Jacksonville Jaguars QB The have survived more than dominated during their 6-2 start, and the same goes for Lawrence. But the steady resilience means something, and he's come up big on the ground more than expected, with 11 first-down runs. (-3)12 Detroit Lions QB There's been a bit of a "just hang on" element to Goff's game the last two weeks, with Detroit flopping against the and surviving the . But he remains fairly reliable as an on-script, ball-control precision pa ser. (-1)13 Denver Broncos QB The numbers don't lie; Wilson's been much better than he was a year ago, and he's climbing the pocket quicker than earlier this season. But the numbers might exaggerate; nine of his 16 TD pa ses have come while playing catch-up. (-1)14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Machismo can only take a QB so far, but it's taken Mayfield further than many expected, as he nearly spearheaded a shootout win over Houston in Week 9. The Bucs aren't nece sarily a smooth ship, but he keeps Guillermo Heredia Jersey them feisty. (+2)15 Cleveland Browns QB There might not be a more mercurial, more polarizing QB in the rundown; availability will remain an underlying concern. But some of his vintage downfield touch returned in a big Week 9 win over Arizona. Can he do it to better defenses?16 New Orleans Saints QB After a painfully conservative start to his debut, Carr has locked in lately, picking apart more vulnerable clubs in the and . But Brian Flores' blitz-happy "D" in Week 10 could be a better test of his progre sion. (+1)17 Los Angeles Rams QB The aging gunslinger sat out Week 9 with a thumb injury, and led L.A. to further ruin. Now is in town as the new insurance policy, bringing Stafford-esque sensibilities -- big arm, occasionally reckle s approach.18 Washington Commanders QB Not a single player has thrown more pa ses this year than the second-year firecracker out of North Carolina. Forced throws are inevitable with so much volume, but for what's on his plate, well, he's often looked the part as a fighter. (-3)19 Tenne see Titans QB The were absolutely right to crown him the new starter after two games in place of the battered . Even without a sturdy OL or WR corps, he's got the effortle s pa sing zip and tough mobility to stay in ballgames.20 Seattle Seahawks QB Is the time coming for Pete Carroll to consider turning to ? Smith still has the staff's trust, and his moxie has carried the club a few times this year. But eight turnovers in his last four games is compounding i sues up front. (-6)21 Arizona Cardinals QB Set to make his 2023 debut after a lengthy ACL rehab, Murray is a bit of an unknown these days. At full speed, he can elude anyone. But he's also been scattershot through the air for a while. At any rate, he's an upgrade in Arizona.22 Minnesota Vikings QB The story Tim Lopes Jersey of the week after freestyling his way to an upset win for the team that acquired him just five days earlier, Dobbs has breathed new life into Kevin O'Connell's scrappy contender. His key will be trying not to play hero too often.23 Indianapolis Colts QB We're getting plenty of examples why Minshew is better served as a temporary hot hand rather than a full-timer. While a spirited player with occasionally pretty touch, his inconsistency with the routine stuff has made Indy unpredictable. (-5)24 Atlanta Falcons QB Installed as the official QB1 with demoted, Heinicke was an upgrade both visually and statistically in Week 9, pushing the ball and moving the chains more. But a turnover still cost him. Let's see how long he stays put. (-4)25 Green Bay Packers QB Go figure that Love looks more comfortable when is actually a major part of the offense. It speaks to the reality: while clearly gifted as a thrower, he's not close to the point where he can elevate a team on his own.(-4)26 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Among regular starters, Pickett ranks third in fourth-quarter pa ser rating. The first three quarters, of course, remain a clunky, hit-or-mi s ordeal. But like the as a whole, he keeps finding ways to do enough when it counts. (-3)27 Las Vegas Raiders QB Freed from Josh McDaniels' watch, the rookie played with more confidence as interim coach Antonio Pierce's declared starter, at least protecting the ball. His off-script abilities are limited, but inside the pocket, he can read a field.28 New England Patriots QB Among current active starters, Jones ranks 28th in yards per attempt (6.1), flailing as Bill Belichick's seat seemingly grows hotter with each week. He may have a future behind a real O-line, but it doesn't look bright in New England. (-2)29 Chicago Bears QB is inching closer to a return from a thumb injury, but his grip strength remains a question. If he can't go, it'll be the spunky D-II rookie, whose athleticism isn't quite offsetting a growing turnover Blank Jersey spree as Chicago's fill-in. (-2)30 Carolina Panthers QB It's sad to say because Young came in with elite intangibles as the No. 1 pick, but there isn't a more inefficient starter right now. That's partly due to a makeshift setup, but he can't afford so many carele s to ses when things break down. (-8)31 New York Jets QB Wilson is good for one or two eye-opening darts a game. But somehow, inexplicably, the Jets have convinced themselves those fleeting flashes are worth 58 or so additional minutes of frantic yet conservative quarterbacking.32 New York Giants QB It's a devastating state of affairs in East Rutherford, where this poor undrafted rookie will be trotted out behind a battered front that already couldn't keep or upright. He'll be leaning on the run game a lot.
