As goes the quarterback, so goes the team. It’s not always true in the NFL, but it usually is. And it makes sense: In a passing league, the passers are like royalty — the biggest influences on whether a team is destined more for a Super Bowl title or a No. 1 draft pick.

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 both current standing and future upside. So a long resume doesn’t always guarantee an edge over untapped potential, just as a cold streak doesn’t always erase a history of success. At the end of the day, we’re simply trying to sort the QBs based on 2021 value, both now and in the near future.

Riser of the Week: Jimmy Garoppolo

Written off by plenty this season, especially during the 49ers‘ dreadful four-game slide before Halloween, Garoppolo has turned a corner while staying mostly in the background of San Francisco’s win streak. He may not be elite, but he’s operating Kyle Shanahan’s creative ground game with ease right now, propelling the Niners right back into the playoff picture as we enter December.
