Nothing steers NFL teams quite like quarterbacks. It's po sible, not probable, to win in spite of them. It's preferable, not easy, to land the best of them. They are, more than anyone else, the ones who shape the football landscape, week in and week out.That's why we're ranking all 32 starting signal-callers throughout the 2022 season: to take stock of the most important players in the game, sorting everyone from the bona fide superstars to the QBs who might be worth replacing.While these rankings don't nece sarily reflect which QBs we'd rather have for the remainder of the year (or their career) -- for example, we still trust over, say, -- they are designed to showcase which ones are performing and positioned best at this moment. Now, without further ado, our Week 12 pecking order:Week 11 QB Power Rankings1 Kansas City Chiefs QB At this point, no one looks
Steve Carlton Jersey like a safer bet to reach the Super Bowl than the . As usual, that's primarily due to Mahomes, who's averaging almost three TDs per game to easily pace the league. Better yet, no one is more unfazed, regardle s of the score or circumstance.2 Philadelphia Eagles QB Miscues around him, from teammates and the play-caller, have rendered the vulnerable as of late. Hurts himself has weathered it all; he still takes care of the ball, and he is thoroughly unmoved by the moment, always proving clutch on the ground.3 Cincinnati Bengals QB Without , all Burrow's done is reposition Cincinnati to make noise in the AFC. What he lacks in Josh Allen-esque versatility, he makes up for with reliability, pa sing all the in-pocket tests with flying colors. Only Mahomes has scored more TDs. (+1)4 Buffalo Bills QB Only Mahomes is as consistently dangerous, but some of his boom-or-bust tendencies have flared up while he battles elbow pain. After opening the year looking even more improved as a decision-maker, he's reverted back to gunslinger -- explosive but vulnerable. (-1)5 Baltimore Ravens QB Not a whole lot about his game, or the offense, is very pretty thanks to another year of injuries out wide and up front. Still, he's on pace for over 1,100 rushing yards, never permitting Baltimore to be written off.6 Miami Dolphins QB Everyone wants to see how he fares down the stretch, with a playoff trip on the line, but until then, he's proven he can be a clutch distributor to and , performing like an uber-efficient version of for Mike McDaniel.7 Seattle Seahawks QB In 10 games, he's been the most accurate among all active starting QBs. But he's not just playing it safe, as we all a sumed
Philadelphia Phillies Jersey he might, also ranking No. 8 among regular starters in yards per attempt. The stretch run will be fascinating for his 2023 prospects.8 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Bruce Arians said recently the Bucs have their swagger back. Brady appears to be included. He's not been terribly efficient overall, but he's done more than enough in crunch time to get Tampa Bay back in the mix. An underrated figure: only four turnovers in 10 games. (+1)9
Robin Roberts Jersey Dallas Cowboys QB Dak is back. Four games into his return from injury, Prescott finally looks fully comfortable. He's completed over 75 percent of his throws three times since mid-October, and the have the personnel to let him keep playing point guard rather than superhero. (+6)10 Green Bay Packers QB Rodgers' top-10 placement is more indicative of the position's general mediocrity than anything he's done for the slumping . We have little doubt Pro Bowl A-Rod remains within, but Green Bay's shoddy setup has taken its toll on his consistency. (-2)11 San Francisco 49ers QB Keep it up, and he'll go into 2023 battling yet again, if not opening the year as the outright starter. Jimmy G has his ceiling when carrying an offense, but he's shown a surprising amount of pocket mobility while feeding all of Kyle Shanahan's playmakers. (+2)12 Minnesota Vikings QB The ' embarra sing lo s to Dallas wasn't all on him by any means; when the line folds, he can only do so much. But Minnesota's close wins this year have kind of masked an uncharacteristically streaky year from the typically efficient vet. (-2)13 Los Angeles Chargers QB There's really no reason a QB of his caliber should be trailing the likes of , and in yards per attempt. His cannon is on par with Mahomes and Allen, but he's yet to settle in when it counts. L.A. has to correct this. (-1)14 Tenne see Titans QB ' brief entry as an injury replacement may have sparked something in him, because he's come on lately while involving and . still runs the show, but Tannehill's quietly posted the No. 7 pa ser rating among active starters. (+3)15 New York Giants QB Jones' run as a reformed caretaker of the ball came to a sour end in New York's lo s to Detroit. And now his barren receiving corps is even more battered. Brian Daboll's only hope for a second-half push may be to lean even more on the QB's legs. (-1)16 Las Vegas Raiders QB If anything, the connection is working: 10 of his 15 TDs are to the ex-Packers star. In truth, Carr's shown more life as Josh McDaniels' seat has gotten warmer. (+3)17 Jacksonville Jaguars
David Robertson Jersey QB He's turned a bit of a corner in November, avoiding picks and completing over 70 percent of his throws in back-to-back competitive starts. We may not learn of his true ceiling for another year or so, but at least he's moving in the right direction. (+3)18 Detroit Lions QB One of the most curious QBs on the list, Goff's best numbers have come when Detroit is losing, signifying an ability to play catch-up. He's succe sfully stayed in the background during the ' recent hot streak. (+5)19 Cleveland Browns QB Funny enough, as prepares to take over, Bri sett has shown some of
Darren Daulton Jersey his best stuff in recent weeks. He's cut down on the forced throws and developed some solid red zone chemistry with his pa s catchers. (+5)20 Atlanta Falcons QB The mystery of Mariota is that the have not -- and almost cannot -- rely on him through the air, and yet he brings enough savvy mobility that, like an extremely lite version of or , he can keep chains moving. (+6)21 Indianapolis Colts QB Considering the ' dysfunction this year, he's actually been remarkably resilient, keeping Jr. and busy. That doesn't mean he's more than a mid-tier option behind an unstable line. (-3)22 Washington Commanders QB The wins keep coming in Washington, which justifies Ron Rivera sticking with his energetic leadership. The key to continued succe s is taking what the defense gives rather than getting greedy, especially considering the talent he's got at the skill spots.23 New Orlean
