• 6 min read
Nothing steers NFL teams quite like quarterbacks. It’s possible, 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.
Our weekly ranking factors in 1.) current status, 2.) past performance and 3.) future outlook, indicating which QBs we’d rather have both now and for the remainder of this season.
