Chaos has come to the QB Power Rankings! Carnage the likes of which we’ve never seen struck over the weekend! Surely you’ve heard about this, as it was the biggest takeaway from the week overall. But just in case you’ve been living under a rock, I’ll bring you up to speed.
The top three quarterbacks in last week’s rankings lost. That’s right, Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe all fell, meaning none of them are eligible to be ranked this week. That also means we have a new No. 1, and while a worthy former No. 1 earned the right to re-enter the rankings with a win Saturday, I’ve chosen a different contender. One who may have had the biggest win of all.
First, a reminder of the rules we live our lives by around here.
- This is not a NFL Draft board ranking, nor is it based on any kind of statistical formula. Your numbers matter, sure, but overall, I’m ranking quarterbacks based on the “juice” they have at the current moment in time. It’s a combination of how well you’re playing, what you have accomplished and what you might accomplish in the near future. If you believe a QB I haven’t listed should be listed, I only kept them off the list because I don’t like you. Or, perhaps it’s this second part.
- I don’t rank any QB after a loss, or if they’re injured. You could be the greatest QB of all time, but if you lose on Saturday, you won’t be here. If you win, it’s because your teammates did their jobs. If you lose, it’s on you. Embrace it. Also, if you’re currently injured and unavailable to play, sorry, but you’re out here too. Availability is the most important ability.
Now let’s see what the carnage hath wrought.
