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 for 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 performanceand 3.) future outlook, indicating which QBs we'd rather have both now and for the remainder of this season. This is why, for example, you might find ranked ahead of after Week 1, even if the JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey latter clearly has the better Opening Day performance. If you're looking purely for rankings of the best statistical QBs this year, feel free to peruse your nearest pa ser-rating leaderboard. If you're looking for informed but subjective rankings of the NFL's most reliable signal-callers, this is the place. Now, without further ado, our Week 1 pecking order:Week 1 QB Power Rankings1 Kansas City Chiefs QB In four years as a starter, he's averaged almost 38 touchdowns per season. The production is automatic. There's an inherent streakine s with someone so inclined to off-script play-making, but paired with Andy Reid in Kansas City, Mahomes remains the standard-bearer when it comes to contemporary, anything-goes quarterbacking. If you need a last-minute score, no one is better physically equipped to get it for you.2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB A banged-up offensive line may test his agele s mechanics, but Brady is still a machine at 45. His arm has seemingly only gotten stronger since coming over from the , and no one has a bigger team-wide influence thanks to his reputation, preparation and vision. He just finds a way.3 Green Bay Packers QB Like Brady, he's only elevated his MVP qualities with age. Losing will require him to spread the ball around, but he's still got one of the most effortle sly accurate arms in football. You have to go back five years to find the last time he threw more than five picks in a season.4 Buffalo Bills QB Everybody's favorite MVP pick, Allen is still prone to forcing throws or absorbing unnece sary hits as the biggest, toughest athletic package at the position, but he makes up for it with his cannon of an arm -- so strong that it can save the ' entire week with a single deep ball.5 Los Angeles Chargers QB If Allen and Mahomes are backyard gunslingers, then Herbert is the prototypical pocket pa ser who does everything right. At 24, he plays like he's 34, with a veteran feel for the game, except with some of the most impre sive straight-line throwing power in today's NFL.6 Cincinnati Bengals QB Durability is the biggest concern, considering he's mi sed seven games (and a summer of practice) in two years. But Joe Cool is the definition of an all-star NFL point guard, unfazed in the pocket while making quick decisions to feed play-makers like .7 Denver Broncos QB For nine of his 10 seasons in Seattle, Wilson led winning teams with unmatched poise and elusivene s. He figures to recapture some of that magic in Denver, finally granted fresh scenery, but coming off an injury-plagued finish with the , it's unclear just how much dual-threat MVP juice remains.8 Baltimore Ravens QB Pa sing efficiency is the easiest recipe for big-game succe s, and Jackson is still hunting that. But as long as his lightning-quick legs are in order, he can single-handedly keep the in contention. He might be the league's best pure play-maker this side of Mahomes.9 Los Angeles Rams QB Without the Chris Jones Jersey ' all-star supporting cast, he's probably closer to a top-12 option, thanks largely to a penchant for ill-timed gambles. But everything else is there: the size, the gusto and the big-play arm that helped fuel Los Angeles' run to the Super Bowl.10 Dallas Cowboys QB Potentially endangered by Dallas' beat-up line, Dak does all the little things well, controlling the pocket and delivering crisp strikes. Like the in general, however, his talent has yet to produce many late-season wins of substance.11 Arizona Cardinals QB On talent alone, Murray might be a top-five QB, combining a rocket arm with positively jittery legs. But he's finished three straight seasons either hurt or in a slump, and the ' setup and schedule don't nece sarily bode well for a major step forward.12 Las Vegas Raiders QB Carr deserves plenty of props for enduring turmoil, and he's got all the tools -- grit, experience, proven efficiency -- to be a winner. Some of his worst days have come down the stretch, however, as he and Las Vegas struggle to come up big when it counts.13 Minnesota Vikings QB Joined at the hip to in these kinds of rankings, Cousins gets too much flak for how productive he is, topping 30 TD pa ses in three of his last four years. Still, for all his accuracy and underrated deep-ball affection, he's yet to elevate a team when the lights are brightest.14 Indianapolis Colts QB Ryan has been far more serviceable than spectacular the last three years, though exiting the rebuild should rejuvenate his confidence. It's harder, however, to project the ceiling for a just-fine QB who, at 37, leans le s on his arm and more on his knowledge of the game.15 Philadelphia Eagles QB The have given him all the pieces to emerge as the "guy." Now it's a matter of consistently winning through the air, even if primarily in the short area. At the very least, Hurts' running-back build and vision give him a high floor as a play-extender.16 Tenne Jerick McKinnon Jersey see Titans QB The of 2022, Tannehill is a well-liked vet who's capitalized on monster ground games to guide playoff bids. He can win. The "it" factor is rarely there, however, which makes ' presence on the bench that is much more enticing.17 Jacksonville Jaguars QB This is mostly about projection, but it was just over a year ago when Lawrence's all-around skill set was touted as generational for a QB. Doug Pederson's mentorship should do wonders for his confidence and pocket presence in year two.18 San Francisco 49ers QB Like , everything about his physical skill set points to a big second-year leap. Sure, he'll need to polish the pa sing to further earn Kyle Shanahan's trust, but his natural athleticism should make him a weekly threat in a prominent ground game.19 New England Patriots QB Prayers up for Mac now that his offensive support staff is headlined by castoff defensive and special teams coaches. In all seriousne s, Jones is exactly the kind of precision thrower Bill Belichick wants for an old-school approach. But can he win a game on his own?20 New Orleans Saints QB A true wild card, Winston appeared to control his own big-play hunger before going down in 2021, and he's still got impre sive deep-ball touch, but the former Bucs castoff hasn't stayed healthy or free of turnover sprees for years.21 Miami Dolphins QB New coach Mike McDaniel will undoubtedly get the most out of Tua, boosting his confidence and tailoring the offense to his ultra-accurate short-area pa sing. But will that be enough to prove the young QB and his conservative approach are franchise material?22 Washington Commanders QB The surface-level talents remain: big size, splashy arm, a will to win. With each pa sing year, however, he cements himself as one of the NFL's most volatile QBs, too often ensnared by an inability to make -- or take -- the easy throws.23 Carolina Panthers QB A perfectly respectable trial-run QB, Mayfield has all the Byron Pringle Jersey moxie and throwing power to be a playoff starter. He also comes with medical baggage and a tendency to get sloppy when things break down around him. If he's not the answer in Carolina, he should at least make the more exciting.24 Chicago Bears QB The physical package suggests he belongs in the Trevor Lawrence-Trey Lance vicinity, but his size and speed combo wasn't enough to elevate a bad team in 2021, and Chicago isn't exactly setting him up to develop in 2022.25 Houston Texans QB Standing tall amid porous circumstances is one thing; growing as a reliable starter is another. Mills appears to have the requisite composure and body type to emerge as a true building block, but he has to choose his spots better on another rebuilding roster.26 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Decision-making hasn't always been his strong suit, though the Bears didn't do him many favors late in his Chicago career. As a bridge to , however, with enough mobility to survive Pittsburgh's transitioning line, you can do a lot worse.27 Detroit Lions QB Behind a sturdy line, he can deliver tight spirals in tight spaces, teasing top-15 efficiency. But he's only ever teased elite production when the rest of his offense is firing on all cylinders, too often folding in the face of pre sure.28 Cleveland Browns QB The irony of Cleveland replacing with Bri sett as interim replacement: Keenum, with all his freewheeling tendencies, is actually the more efficient QB. Bri sett has held up fine in emergency situations, but "fine" has always been his ceiling.29 Seattle Seahawks QB He hasn't been a full-time starter since 2014, when he went 3-10 for the . Since then, he's mellowed out as a play-it-safe option for Pete Carroll, whose desire to lean on the run was reiterated by his choice of Smith over the gunslinging .30 New York Giants QB The hope is that new coach Brian Daboll will be able to maximize Jones' evident athleticism as more of a dual threat, but once again, Christian Okoye Jersey the mistake-ridden starter has been saddled with a relatively depleted supporting cast.31 New York Jets QB Wilson's athleticism lends to his freestyling abilities, but he's struggled to build confidence, or a rhythm, against NFL defenses. And now he enters year two battling an injury that could enable to keep emerging off the bench.32 Atlanta Falcons QB As a runner, Mariota still offers plenty, especially reunited with Arthur Smith. But he's not been consistently healthy or productive as a pa ser for a long time.
