Who are the best QBs in the NFL? Find out in this week’s NFL QB Power Rankings.

Welcome to FanSided’s weekly NFL QB Power Rankings. Every Wednesday throughout the season you can check out the most up to date rankings for the most important position in the NFL. These power rankings will consist of the 32 current starting QBs. So if a QB is out for any extended time his backup will replace him on the list. So make sure you check in every Wednesday to see where your favorite team’s QB ended up that week.

Please keep in mind that these rankings are NOT a list of the players with the most established and proven careers. That would favor the older players. They are also NOT a list of the players you would most want to build around going forward. That list would favor the younger players. No, this is a ranking of the best players at that position right now, today. The NFL is a “what have you done for me lately” kind of a league. So while early in the season the list will be influenced by previous performances, if later in the year Kyle Orton is clearly out producing Jay Cutler then their rankings will reflect that regardless of what their general perception or reputation is.

So which QBs are at the top of the list? Well, there are some familiar names at the top, but let’s just say this isn’t the order that I had at the beginning of the season. Some QBs are trending up and some are slipping. So let’s get to the list, starting with those that are not playing quite so well…..
