Ranking NFL playoff quarterbacks: Strengths, weaknesses and what's at stake for all 14

Quarterbacks alone can't make a Super Bowl run, but let's be honest, they're the biggest factor and it isn't close. And so, heading into the 2020 NFL playoffs, let's rank the players at the most important position for all 14 teams.

I'm ranking these quarterbacks in the order that I'd want them to be the signal-caller for my team in these playoffs, which might not exactly align with who performed the best during the regular season. In other words: how good they are now, not how good they were then.

To do this, I'm relying on a few advanced metrics, chief among them QBR, our in-house expected points added-based metric that helps account for important context.
