Which NFL QBs are playing the best football through 9 weeks of the NFL season? Find out in FanSided’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 Carson Palmer is clearly out producing Drew Brees then their rankings will reflect that regardless of what their general perception or reputation is.

So are there any big risers or fallers on this week’s list? Well there were three different QBs that each dropped three spots from last week and one QB that made a six spot jump up the rankings in this edition. There is also a new number one QB on this week’s list. So where did your favorite team’s QB end up? Let’s find out, starting from the bottom and working our way up…..
