As goes the quarterback, so goes the team. It's notalwaystrue 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:Which QB would we rather have right now, not only for this week but for the rest of 2020?Now, without further ado, let's get to the Week 8 rankings:Week 7 QB Power Rankings1 Kansas City Chiefs QB Sorry, fans, but there's no reason any team would take any QB other than Mahomes right now. We're not talking enough about the fact he's up to 25 TDs Brenden Dillon Kids Jersey and just one INT. Don't look now, but the MVP race is still open. Last week: 22 Seattle Seahawks QB Make no mistake: Wilson is still an MVP candidate with some of the best pocket poise in the game. But he's now thrown five interceptions in the last three weeks. He'll always give you a shot, but lately, he's given opponents a few of them, too. Last week: 13 Green Bay Packers QB Don't mi s the fact, while debating Mahomes and Wilson atop the list, that A-Rod has held firm in the top three for pretty much the whole season. This guy is playing like a QB bound for a Super Bowl. His numbers even rival those of Mahomes. Last week: 3 4 Arizona Cardinals QB It's unclear if the are fully ready for the big stage (and by big stage, we mean a deep playoff run). But one thing is very clear: Murray has the tools to beat anyone. How long until he's a consensus better dual threat than ? Last week: 45 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben still hasn't unleashed a monster game on us, and his are somehow still quiet for an unbeaten team. But look at the numbers. What he's lacked in huge plays and league-leading accuracy, he's made up for with an ultra-steady efficiency. Last week: 56 Drew Brees New Orleans Saints QB Count us among those who prematurely declared Brees' arm on life support earlier this year. Few QBs are throwing with his touch right now, and he's also endured a shuffling supporting cast. He's been really good, and the look alive again. Last week: 87 Houston Texans QB The aren't going anywhere anytime soon, but boy do they still have a prize under center. Watson could stand to be more consistent, but he's excelled on the big plays through the air this year, even after ' departure. Last week: 68 Baltimore Ravens QB If Jackson is going to be a minimalist as a pa ser and rely even more on his legs, that's fine. He's still crazy explosive -- a walking highlight reel as a rusher. It's just hard to look at his 2019 breakout and feel like he's progre sing as a total package.Last week: 99 Buffalo Bills QB If Allen can be just a little bit more like the QB we saw against the Seahawks than the one we saw for weeks prior, the are in great shape. He seems pretty set in this boom-or-bust mode, with the upside outweighing the potential for fatal errors.Last week: 1210 Los Angeles Chargers QB Yes, you're reading this right. The find new ways to lose every week, but that's not on Herbert, who's been downright electrifying with his rocket arm. Who said this kid wasn't ready for the NFL? He's got everything you want in a franchise QB Tomas Hertl Kids Jersey .Last week: 1311 Las Vegas Raiders QB Carr has been a little more hit or mi s than earlier in the year, when he led the NFL in completion percentage. But you have to love the Brandon Bollig Kids Jersey way he's still slinging it downfield. Who knows if Vegas is for real, but he's keeping them in the mix.Last week: 1112 Tenne see Titans QB Tannehill sitting outside the top 10 is not an indictment on him, but rather a sign of how much good QB play there's been in 2020. He needs to start faster down the stretch, but the are still getting safe, steady production here.Last week: 1013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Brady is our biggest mover of the week, sliding down six spots after that atrocious lo s to New Orleans. There's no doubt he's better than he was on Sunday night, but goodne s, with his weaponry, there's no excuse to just be giving the ball away.Last week: 714 Atlanta Falcons QB His solid stretch under Raheem Morris has helped even out mediocre numbers. Ryan's mostly been the same guy all year, though: Elite on occasion, good most of the time, but not nece sarily the guy who's going to overcome dire circumstances.Last week: 1415 Carolina Panthers QB The longer Teddy puts these kinds of performances on record, the more Matt Rhule will have to think long and hard about making him an even longer-term option. This guy can win with the . Imagine if he got even more help in 2021.Last week: 1516 Cincinnati Bengals QB Burrow's got a huge test upcoming against the Steelers. No one will fault him if he can't get much going against Pittsburgh's front, but he's got the fight to make it close. With better protection in the future, he's still on track to be a star. Last week: 1617 Minnesota Vikings QB So long as keeps rolling as the centerpiece of their offense, the can rest easy knowing games aren't in Kirk's hands. That reaffirms what we knew: Cousins is solid, but you'd better not rely on him to singlehandedly take over. Last week: 2018 Philadelphia Eagles QB Numbers-wise, Wentz has been much worse than No. 18, but you're still taking his grit and big-play ability over most bottom-tier QBs. Can he finally cut out the turnovers? Or is he entrenched in this do-or-die mindset? Philly needs him to be smarter.Last week: 1719 Los Angeles Rams QB After a week of rest, Goff should be primed for a confidence-booster against a bad Seattle defense. But if he stumbles, it's time for real concern. After a really efficient start to the year, he's too often reverted to his panicky ways in the pocket. Last week: 1820 Miami Dolphins QB We've got a feeling he's going to keep rising up the board. Miami hasn't needed him to be Superman in his first two starts, but he at least looks the part. As the playoffs draw closer, he's got the skills and IQ to make noise.Last week: 2321 Cleveland Browns QB If Mayfield can't get it going out of the bye against Houston, you have to wonder if Kevin Stefanski might consider a temporary switch to . The key for him, with back, will be managing the ball as he did early in the season.Last week: 2222 Detroit Lions QB If it feels like Stafford has been out of it for most of this year, well, that's because he admittedly has. Whether justified or not, though, he's not been a great QB. The big arm is still in there, but the decision-making has been far too erratic.Last week: 2123 Indianapolis Colts QB Is Rivers washed, or not? That's the question after Indy got routed by Baltimore. Granted, the have a tough "D," but if the want to make a run, they can't always be so dependent on their own defense.Last week: 1924 Chicago Bears QB It tuns out that going to Foles over has mostly just extended the ' reliance on unpredictable QB play. His aggre sivene s makes Chicago a tough out sometimes, but it also exacerbates some poor game-planning Eric Fehr Kids Jersey from Matt Nagy.Last week: 2425 New England Patriots QB Give him credit for battling back against the with a no-name receiving corps, but does anyone think Newton looks even remotely dangerous right now? Every yard is a battle for him, whether because of his supporting cast or his own health.Last week: 2626 New York Giants QB Sunday's win over Washington feels like an anomaly, in that Jones avoided turning the ball over for once. But we know the arm talent is there. If he can pull out a win over the in Week 10, he'll earn a Jonny Brodzinski Kids Jersey ton of respect in that locker room.Last week: 2727 Denver Broncos QB Is it too early to start second-gue sing John Elway's commitment to build around this young man? Lock plays hard and is also working with a young roster, but his mistakes have been pretty big since returning from injury.Last week: 2528 Washington Football Team QB He's probably the Comeback Player of the Year favorite just for getting back on the field, and maybe a full week of prep will help him cut down on the turnovers. But this still feels like a low-upside solution for Washington. Last week: Unranked29 Dallas Cowboys QB He's not nearly as bad as he looked before going down with a concu sion, but Dallas will be hard-pre sed not to consider a return to if he can't manufacture some splash plays coming out of the bye. Last week: Unranked30 Jacksonville Jaguars QB At this point, it almost feels like a long shot that will even get his job back. Luton was by no means perfect in his starting debut, but he was lively enough to take things to the wire. Last week: 3131 San Francisco 49ers QB If the Niners sported a healthier supporting cast around him, maybe this would be a different story. But the reality is neither Mullens nor are capable of lifting this team out of its slide. That's on Kyle Shanahan and the ground game.Last week: 3032 New York Jets QB He'll probably be ready to return after the Jets' bye, but at this point, might New York just be better off riding with until their inevitable 2021 draft addition? Probably.Last week: 32
