Three weeks into the 2022 NFL season, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles are soaring above the competition.
Our 2022 FanSided NFL quarterback rankings go live each Wednesday morning throughout the regular season, and we use a sliding scale incorporating current and past performances, with the former meaning more as the year goes on.
Smith is completing passes at a league-best rate, and the yardage is average. He’s not going to be an elite quarterback, but he’s not the reason Seattle is 1-2.
Houston needs more from Mills. Yes, the roster is underwhelming, but the Texans have a few weapons headlined by receiver Brandin Cooks. We could see a first-round quarterback here.
Jones appears to be sidelined with a high ankle sprain, compounding what has been an ugly start for the second-year pro from Alabama. Too many mistakes.
Wentz has the yardage, but the other numbers are sub-par. The Commanders need Wentz to lead and avoid errors while making big plays. Unfortunately, that isn’t Wentz’s style.
Cousins is his typical inconsistent self. The Vikings need to stretch the field more, much as they did in Week 1 against the Packers with Justin Jefferson.
Carr needs to be better. The line is doing him no favors, and the run-pass balance is insanely out of whack, but the Raiders gave him great weapons … and the production isn’t there.
Lawrence is breaking out. The Jaguars are 2-1 after two blowout wins, and Lawrence is completing passes, working through progressions and showing mobility. Great stuff.
Burrow and the Bengals finally got their first win of the season on Sunday, but the quarterback was average. Too many passes which were near-INTs. Not bad, but not great.
Stafford was solid against the Cardinals, only moving down two spots because of some great performances elsewhere. The Rams need more, but the last few weeks have been encouraging.
Brady is playing decent football, but he has no help. The line is beat up, his receivers have been out of the lineup, etc. The latter should be better this week with Mike Evans returning.
Tagovailoa didn’t put up huge numbers against the Bills, but made multiple big-time throws including the essential game-winner to Jaylen Waddle between the safeties.
Right now, Hurts is the MVP. He’s throwing for more than 300 yards per game, rushing the ball with efficiency, and avoiding mistakes. A real transformation.
Mahomes hasn’t been himself the past two weeks. Too many 50-50 balls, too much time looking to make plays that don’t materialize. Some of this is the offensive line, but Mahomes can step up.
Jackson is having an unreal year. He’s leading the league with 10 touchdown tosses, and has rushed for 243 yards, fifth-most in the NFL. It’s a dream season so far.
Allen is the engine for Buffalo. He’s the only quarterback over 1,000 yards passing, and he’s also the most reliable runner. He’s Mr. Do-It-All for the Bills.
