As goes the quarterback, so goes the team. It's not true in the NFL, but it usually is. And it makes sense: In a pa sing league, the pa sers 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 standingandfuture 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 succe s. At the end Jerry West Jersey of the day, we're simply trying to sort the QBs based on 2021 value, both now and in the near future. Written off by plenty this season, especially during the ' 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.*** Now, without further ado, let's get to the rest of our Week 13 rankings: Week 12 QB Power Rankings1 Green Bay Packers QB No one's talking quite enough about the MVP-caliber presence he's brought to the , who could easily be considered NFC favorites right now. (+1)2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB The picks have piled up a little too often lately, but he throws it with authority (and remains in peak physical form) until the clock hits zero, every single week. (-1)3 Arizona Cardinals QB It's about time he gets back under center and rebuilds some of the chemistry that drove them to a red-hot start. We have a feeling he'll be back to MVP form. (+3)4 Buffalo Bills QB The Thanksgiving spotlight renewed his gunslinging succe s. He also belongs in MVP talks. (+6)5 Kansas City Chiefs QB The ' increasingly feisty defense has been more reliable than he has of late, but we're still banking on his play-making showing up for the playoff run.(-2)6 Los Angeles Chargers QB The are asking him to do too much to make up for an absent and/or shaky Lonzo Ball Jersey ground game.(-1)7 Baltimore Ravens QB Four picks in an important primetime divisional game? Not great. The pa sing marks have been iffy in recent weeks. But as always, his legs make up for some of the damage.(-3)8 Dallas Cowboys QB He's got a big test on deck against a hungry defense. When his line has held up, he's been a Grade-A distributor to some of the league's best weapons.(-1)9 Cincinnati Bengals QB has been a huge help in recent weeks, including against the . If Burrow keeps himself in check down the stretch, his team will make noise. (+3)10 Minnesota Vikings QB He mi sed a few times in their close lo s to the 49ers, but he's quietly been Pro Bowl-caliber most of the year. Now, the really need him with banged up. (+1)11 Las Vegas Raiders QB Maybe he's not about to fall off in December again? could be a monumental help.(+3)12 Seattle Seahawks QB You could make a case he belongs much lower. It's just hard to fully write him off, especially after he came alive to nearly beat Washington late Wilt Chamberlain Jersey in Week 12. Still, mechanically or mentally, he's hindered.(-4)13 Los Angeles Rams QB The are sliding, and ironically, he's a big reason for it. Stafford was never going to fully transform from the QB he was in Detroit, but you kind of hoped he at least wouldn't let the miscues pile up.(-4)14 Indianapolis Colts QB The longer the season goes on, the more he looks more like himself. Of course, that comes with his inherent aggre sivene s, but Indy looks really poised to make a stretch run.(-1)15 New England Patriots QB Who's the hottest rookie QB in all the land? This guy. It's going to be really interesting to see how he handles the expectations that come with a trip to the postseason, which feels more and more inevitable.(+1)16 San Francisco 49ers QB He may not be the long-term answer here, but as usual, when healthy and cast into a more of a background role, he's more than capable of guiding their run-based attack to the playoffs.(+5)17 Atlanta Falcons QB Who could've gue sed that would be so instrumental to Ryan's first year with Arthur Smith?(+1)18 Tenne see Titans QB The burden has been much greater for Tannehill this year. Unfortunately, a slew of turnovers has followed.(-3)19 Philadelphia Eagles QB If the would've just leaned on his legs, they might've beaten the . Instead, Hurts JaVale McGee Jersey tried to throw his way to victory, and everything fell apart.(-2)20 Cleveland Browns QB Kevin Stefanski, for the sake of your own team, it's time to consider benching -- "resting," if you wanna soften the blow -- this guy. Not nece sarily because he's a bad QB, but because he's clearly hampered, and has been for a while.(-1)21 Miami Dolphins QB After an uninspiring stretch that included swap-outs with , Tua is really on the upswing these last few weeks. The numbers aren't gaudy, but he's throwing efficiently and confidently.(+3)22 Carolina Panthers QB Well this party ended quickly. A rebound is probably in order, but the have only fallen off more since Cam's energetic arrival.(-2)23 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Things came crumbling down against Cincy. It doesn't help when the Steelers' vaunted defense isn't up to par, either.(-1)24 Washington Football Team QB Not sure he can count on leading two TD drives against a bad defense and winning consistently. But he outdid in primetime thanks to both efficiency and mobility. He's a fighter.(+4)25 Denver Broncos QB The are definitely a safer bet than they were with . But they're still dependent on their "D."(-2)26 Jacksonville Jaguars QB What substantial takeaway can you even have from his rookie season besides, "This team really stinks"?(-1)27 New Orleans Saints QB He's an upgrade on solely for his ability to extend plays. But is he healthy? We'll find out soon enough.28 Chicago Bears QB Devontae Cacok Jersey Until further notice (or gets healthy), he's the guy. And until further notice, the are not good.(-2)29 Houston Texans QB What is there to say at
