Week 8 is here and several quarterbacks continue to play impressive football in the 2021 NFL season.
The quarterback power rankings change weekly based on their cumulative efforts. It's important to note that this is not the same as the NFL MVP rankings. This is based on quarterback individual performance heading into Week 8 and not overall value to team success like the NFL MVP award is.
Week 8 QB Rankings: Making the Top 5
#5 - Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen cracks the top five in the Week 8 quarterback rankings. He had a breakout season in 2020 and has followed it with another solid year in 2021 so far. He has recorded 15 passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns and just three interceptions. He ranks in the top five in QBR and top ten in passer rating heading into Week 8.
The issue in his first two seasons was his accuracy. He has worked very hard to improve on this and it showed last season when he set a new career-high with a 69.2 completion percentage. This season, he has a solid 64.8 completion percentage.
#4 - Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescot is having the most efficient season of his career so far. Heading into Week 8, he ranks fourth in the NFL in passer rating and second in completion percentage. He has 16 passing touchdowns and just four interceptions in six games.
Prescott is the main reason why the Dallas Cowboys are on a five-game winning streak. He is on pace to set new career highs in just about every passing statistic this season while leading the Cowboys' top-ranked offense.
Week 8 QB Rankings: The Top 3
#3 - Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray enters Week 8 as one of the favorites to win the NFL MVP award. The Cardinals are the last remaining unbeaten team in the NFL and Murray is a big reason why. He is a true dual-threat quarterback who puts a ton of pressure on opposing defenses.
Kyler Murray leads the NFL in completion percentage while ranking in the top five in both QBR and passer rating. He is one of five quarterbacks to eclipse 2000 passing yards through Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season.
#2 - Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford added a new layer to the Rams' offense that is the deep ball. Stafford's ability to drive the ball downfield brings the Rams to a whole new level. This partnership with head coach Sean McVay is working.
Entering Week 8, Stafford leads the entire NFL in QBR while also ranking third in passer rating. He has the third-most yards and second-most touchdowns.
#1 - Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tom Brady is unstoppable, even at 44. He is playing as well as he ever has, which is astonishing considering how much he has already accomplished. He enters Week 8 with a real chance to win his fourth NFL MVP award this season.
Tom Brady currently leads the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, and has thrown only three interceptions in seven games. He ranks second in QBR and seventh in passer rating. The Buccaneers are legitimate contenders to make another Super Bowl run and he is the main reason why.
