Week 17 NFL QB Power Rankings Aaron Rodg

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. Each year the limits of aerial production are tested, and this season appears to be no exception. 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 theircurrent standing, theirhistory of succe sand theirfuture upside, but it's probably simpler to think of the rankings as a general answer to this question: Now, without further ado, let's get to the Week 17 rankings: Week 13 QB Power Rankings1 Green Mike Condon Men Jersey Bay Packers QB Sorry, but not even is throwing like him right now, and, frankly, Rodgers has been doing more for a little while now. We'd happily take Pat here as well, but A-Rod is robotic in all the best ways at this juncture. He cannot be stopped.Last week: 22 Kansas City Chiefs QB It speaks volumes about his ability that we can consider him a top-three MVP candidate and also just feel kind of "OK" with his numbers thus far. In other words, even when he looks like he's going half-speed, he's a truly transcendent talent.Last week: 13 Buffalo Bills QB If Rodgers is the 2020 MVP, then Allen might very well be -- or should be -- the runner-up. Let's see how he handles this playoff run, but boy does he have all the tools you want in a championship QB. Guy is playing with a Mahomes-like feel for the game.Last week: 34 Seattle Seahawks QB Considering where he was earlier in the year, this feels like a pretty uninspiring top-five placement. And yet, come playoff time, who wants to bet against him? While his numbers have tapered off since midseason, his track record demands respect.Last week: 45 Houston Texans QB Contrary to some opinions, Watson should not be totally absolved of the ' horrific season. Most of the time, however, he's been downright dynamic airing the ball out. His career marks would've drawn MVP buzz any other year.Last week: 56 Baltimore Ravens QB Was this season a slight step back in terms of his total performance? Sure. The pa sing efficiency has been relatively hit or mi s. But make no mistake: As a , he remains one of the toughest matchups in the entire league. Mike Condon Women Jersey Last week: 97 Arizona Cardinals QB His decision-making has left quite a bit to be desired; in fact, he probably doesn't get enough flak for the turnovers he's racked up. Like Jackson, though, when he's on his game, he's easily the most dangerous man on the field.Last week: 88 Tenne see Titans QB Were his hiccups in Green Bay indicative of a forthcoming fall to Earth? That seems like just a small stretch considering how steady he's been otherwise. Tannehill still isn't nece sarily "scary," but he'll put you in a position to win almost every week.Last week: 79 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB His erratic 2020 probably doesn't deserve a top-10 placement, but there's no ignoring those big games. When the Bucs offense actually finds a rhythm, he can still light up the scoreboard as well as just about anyone. Question is: Can they sustain it?Last week: 1010 Los Angeles Chargers QB Who would've gue sed, in April, that he'd be far and away the top performing rookie QB of his cla s? Get pumped for 2021.Last week: 1111 Drew Brees New Luke Schenn Women Jersey Orleans Saints QB What is his ceiling? The smarts and touch are still there, but the might need vintage Brees to emerge in the postseason.Last week: 612 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Just when we all thought Big Ben might actually be approaching the end, he unloads enough downfield balls to restore the ' confidence. Still, you wonder whether he'll be able to play gunslinger when it counts.Last week: 1513 Las Vegas Raiders QB He's still plagued by too many misjudged decisions, but the touch has been there pretty much all year. Guy needs more help with red-zone play-calling and proper utilization of his weapons.Last week: Unranked14 Minnesota Vikings QB Those numbers sure do look good for a QB of a 6-9 team! Cousins is what he is: An efficient pa ser with better downfield ability than people give him credit for, but still a clear level below the guys you trust for deep playoff runs.Last week: 1315 Cleveland Browns QB We can't fault Vladislav Namestnikov Men Jersey him too much for playing Week 16 without any of his top receivers. It's going to be fascinating to see whether he -- and not the ground game -- is tasked with leading a playoff win, a suming Cleveland gets in.Last week: 1416 Indianapolis Colts QB Middle-of-the-pack. That's what Rivers is. He can complete all the short-area targets you need, and if the game plan is rolling, he'll keep it rolling. But the spotlight's going to be very bright if he gets into the playoffs.Last week: 1617 Detroit Lions QB Who knows if he'll even be trotted out amid even more injuries to close the year. At this point, all anyone really cares about is whether he'll get the chance to play elsewhere in 2021.Last week: 1918 Atlanta Falcons QB Ryan has not been good this year. The numbers look fine, as he's still thrown for a ton of yards. But he's been a contributor to Atlanta's many failures, not an exception to them. He needs even more support moving forward.Last week: 1719 Carolina Panthers QB What began as a truly promising season has become, well, just an OK one for Teddy. The guy fights, there's no doubt about it, but he's also failed at almost every turn to establish himself as a crunch-time playmaker. Last week: 1820 Chicago Bears QB We probably shouldn't get too carried away by his relatively hot streak of late, but of course the just might. Trubisky's thrown some nice balls, yes, but let's see how he fares if Chicago somehow sneaks into the playoffs.Last week: 2321 Dallas Cowboys QB Maybe it just took him a few weeks to finally convince the to let him keep throwing and throwing and throwing to Dallas' bevy of top-tier receiving options.Last week: 2622 Mikhail Sergachev Jersey Philadelphia Eagles QB Hurts has played with lots of poise and athleticism, but he's also been pretty loose with the ball. His poor second half against Dallas probably increased the
