Updated NFL Quarterback Rankings

After three weeks of the season, things are starting to take shape. We’ve had some disappointing starts for some teams, some expected starts for many teams, and some surprise starts as well.

Over the summer, we ranked the top 50 quarterbacks in the NFL. Let’s take a look at those rankings and update the list based on how the 32 week one starting quarterbacks have performed at this point in the season.

1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs (Prev. 1)

Despite the slow start, Mahomes’ QBR is still 5th in the NFL. Travis Kelce can’t catch, Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice have been out, it’s going to take more than what Allen and Lamar have thrown out so far to unseat Mahomes

2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills (2)

Jackson may have slightly better stats at this point in the season, but the head-to-head matchup and how that game ended keep Allen ahead of Jackson.

3. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (3)

Every year, you don’t think Jackson’s stats can get better, they do. But he needs to start winning big games to reach that next level.

4. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals (4)

Burrow is most likely going to miss the rest of the season. He will most likely hold this spot moving forward.

5. Justin Herbert, LA Chargers (5)

I expected Herbert to have an excellent season in his second season with Jim Harbaugh, so far, he and the Chargers are living up to the billing.

6. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles (6)

His stats certainly aren’t gaudy, but he is 7th in QBR, completing over 70% of his passes, and hasn’t thrown an interception.

7. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions (10)

I said I needed to see it without Ben Johnson to believe it, and so far, Goff is delivering. If he keeps this up this season, he’s going to shut up all his remaining doubters.

8. Matthew Stafford, LA Rams (9)

It was never a question with Stafford if he was worthy of being a top 10 quarterback; it was if he could stay healthy with his chronic back issues. So far, so good for the Rams’ signal caller.

9. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders (7)

Daniels hasn’t been great, and he’s also missed a game due to an injury. He still gets the benefit of the doubt after a spectacular rookie season, but he needs to play better, or he will see himself tumble further.

10. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers (12)

Nobody really grabbed the last top 10 spot with authority, so Love gets it by default. The Packers are an excellent team, and Love has played pretty well. But you can’t stumble against teams like the Cleveland Browns, where Love was quite pedestrian.
