Now that Week 3 is about over, the first month of football is already nearing its end. Up to this point, there really have not been a ton of major surprises. The league is shaking out as expected, and in the coming weeks, that becomes even more true.
And as we all know, no team in the NFL is going to consistently win without competent quarterback play. Many teams in the NFL can say the have competent QB play, but others struggle and have continued to struggle.
Now that Week 3 is about over, let's dive into our latest QB power rankings. We are ranking these QBs based on what we have seen from them this year, while also looking at the overall team success as well.
Updated NFL QB Power Rankings following Week 3 action
Jalen Hurts and Tyson Bagent play on Monday Night Football. Their rankings will be adjusted following that game.
32. Tyson Bagent, Chicago Bears
What a week it’s been for the Chicago Bears QB room. Tyson Bagent is now tracking to start, as Caleb Williams is hurt, but we did seem to almost get Case Keenum, as Bagent had to clear concussion protocol.
Bagent is a fine backup QB option, but he has thrown just three touchdown passes in his career and six interceptions. The Bears backup is 2-2 as a starter and is hopefully not needing to start more than a game or two, as not having Williams is simply something that the Bears can’t afford for very long.
Since Bagent will be making his first start this year and is a massive unknown, he’ll take the No. 32 spot in our QB power rankings.
31. Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans
I understand that this is a new offense for Cam Ward, but he and the Tennessee Titans just look… bad.
They don’t look or feel like an NFL team. They managed to score just seven points against New York in Week 3 and are now 0-3 on the season. Ward played reasonably well last year given the circumstances, and did begin to play well down the stretch during his rookie season.
Much of that modest progress from year one does not feel like it carried over into year two thus far. I guess a little win here is that Ward was 23/36 passing, which isn’t bad, but he only managed 181 yards.
The Titans had more total yards, passing yards, and more yards per play than the Giants and otherwise outplayed them on offense, but it just wasn’t good enough. I was high on Ward going into the season, but I might have totally whiffed on that stance.
