                    2026 NFL QB Stability Rankings
                    Quarterback rankings tell you who the best passer is. QB Stability asks a different question: can this team survive the season at quarterback? The grade looks at starter quality, availability, job security, age and the backup plan.

                How QB Stability Works
                Quarterback rankings tell you who the best passer is. QB Stability asks a different question: can this team survive the season at quarterback? PFM looks at the starter, availability, job security, age and the backup plan so the grade reflects the whole quarterback setup, not just one highlight reel.
