With opening week of the NFL's 100th season in the books, NFL.com editors Ali Bhanpuri, Tom Blair, Gennaro Filice and Dan Parr join forces to update the QB Index -- the hierarchy among starting quarterbacks -- heading into Week 2.
How do we arrive at these rankings? Well, each of the four QB watchers submits a ballot, and through the power of mathematics, we average out the results to arrive at our list. The individual rankings of each writer are listed in every QB blurb. As the season progresses, the pecking order will increasingly rely on 2019 performance alone, which means the deck will constantly reshuffle. But after one week, with a tiny sample of regular-season tape to evaluate, performance prior to the '19 campaign is also taken into account in the unique QB evaluations of each ranker.
NOTE: Up/down arrows reflect movement from . Rankings reflect each quarterback's standing heading into Week 2 and were locked before "Thursday Night Football." Stats for QBs who play on Thursday night are also locked, to provide better context for those QBs' rankings.

Parr: The reigning MVP didn't even need two healthy ankles to slice and dice what many think is potentially an elite defense in Week 1. Sure, losing Tyreek Hill for at least the next month is going to be a new test, but this superhuman pigskin distributor (and Sammy Watkins) did just fine without him against the Jaguars (18 of 25 for 216 yards and 2 TDs after Hill left the game). We're full speed ahead on Mahomes at No. 1.

Parr: Couple a scintillating debut against another one of those defenses that was supposed to be pretty decent at stopping people with the signing of one of the league's most talented receivers, and you get our first mover in the rankings this week. It seems old Tommy B. didn't come to play. He came to destroy anything in his path, with or without AB. Unfortunately, Brady's kryptonite is waiting for him in South Beach in Week 2 (Brady has six more losses on the road vs. the  than any other opponent). Just kidding. Did you see Miami's defense last week? Me neither. It didn't show up. Long live the GOAT.

Parr: Rodgers moves down a spot because Brady showed he's still Brady while Rodgers wasn't Rodgers in Week 1. A rough start for Green Bay's QB1 in Chicago, no doubt, but we're not going to get too down on the two-time MVP considering last Thursday night was his first game action in Matt LaFleur's offense and he was up against one of the league's best defenses. It might not get any easier for him against a  defense that overwhelmed  and the  in Week 1, though.

Parr:Ìý°Õ³ó±ðÌý had a minus-196 differential in total yards vs. the  (teams are 54-466-1 when finishing a game with a yard differential of minus-196 or worse since 2000), but Seattle still managed to win, which speaks to Wilson's efficiency and immense value to this team. Posting less than 200 yards passing isn't going to get anyone excited in this era of beaucoup offense, but his throws to Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌý on what turned out to be the game-winning drive were the difference. He drops a spot only because Brady is still such a gem.

He fired some darts to  and the snake-bitten , who will once again , while taking a beating from a  D that recorded four sacks and eight QB hits. The one major blemish on his Week 1 performance -- a fourth quarter interception in the ' end zone -- is more a credit to  than a knock on Rivers. .

Parr: Brees made a mistake we rarely see from him, throwing his first red-zone INT since 2017 in the first quarter vs. the , but he bounced back to record his 35th fourth-quarter comeback (only Peyton Manning has more in the  era). He's going to struggle when defenses force him out of the pocket, but when they don't, he'll dominate with precision no other QB can match.

Parr: Wentz shook off a bleak start for Philly to lead the biggest comeback of his career, rallying from a 17-0 deficit. It might not have been the ideal way to open the season, but ultimately it was a highly encouraging step for a guy who hadn't taken a snap in a game since Dec. 9. Here's a stat to be excited about if you're an  fan: Wentz was 12 of 13 for 197 pass yards, three TDs, and zero INTs on third down in Week 1.

Parr: He'd like to have that third-quarter interception back, and sure, he hangs onto the ball for too long at times, but Watson made hero throw after hero throw against the  on Monday night, nearly pulling off a fourth-quarter comeback victory in one of the toughest places for visitors to win. The former Clemson QB gives his team a chance to win pretty much every time he takes the field. Watson is 14-9 as a starter in the regular season, and all nine losses have come by one possession. How rare is that? Well, per ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøResearch, he's the only QB since 1950 to have at least 90 percent of his losses come by one possession (minimum five career losses).

Bhanpuri: Tough outing for the 2016 MVP, who threw two ghastly interceptions versus the , including  late in the third quarter that ultimately crushed the ' chance at mounting a comeback. As he's done over the last decade, though, Ryan matched his head-scratching throws with some absolute beauts, none more so than the arching 20-yard scoring connection to Calvin Ridley off a sluggo route. The biggest concern for Atlanta's franchise QB after Week 1 is the embattled group up front, which will be without starting rookie right guard  for at least a couple months after the first-rounder  against Minnesota.

Bhanpuri: Surprised Dak could see anything but dollar signs by the fourth quarter of the ' demolition of the . The polarizing fourth-year pro was money throwing all over the field, but especially on chunk-yardage plays, going 8 of 9 for 243 yards and three scores on passes of 10-plus air yards against New York.

Bhanpuri:Ìý°Õ³ó±ðÌý' offense was the unit , and  and Co. did NOT disappoint. The former Heisman Trophy winner displayed pinpoint accuracy on short, intermediate and deep throws, completing six of seven passes that traveled 10 or more air yards (including three that traveled 30-plus!), per Next Gen Stats. And while the long touchdown bombs to Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌý have been the highlights replaying regularly on ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøNetwork since Sunday (and rightfully so), the ball placement on his first touchdown toss -- the quick slant to Hollywood Brown -- shouldn't be overlooked. If Jackson doesn't lead the speedy receiver with a precisely placed pass, there's a good chance Brown gets tripped up by  for only a modest gain instead of a 47-yard score. " ?

Bhanpuri: struggled to connect on intermediate and deep passes throughout the ' lopsided loss to the  on Sunday -- a problem that has plagued the QB since Week 17 of last season when  was working his way out of Pittsburgh (before he was working his way out of Oakland). In the two most recent games without Brown, Roethlisberger has been an abysmal 6 of 22 with two picks and a 22.0 passer rating on throws of 10-plus air yards -- worst among the 23 qualifying QBs during that span, per Pro Football Focus. Compare that with the five games leading up to Brown's disappearing act last year, when  completed 52.1 percent of his intermediate and deep passes, with a 6:2 TD-to-INT ratio and a 107.2 passer rating. Not saying the  made a mistake moving on from the receiver, but they've clearly yet to figure out how to manufacture anywhere near the same level of production without him.

Bhanpuri: I've been  for quite some time now, so I was particularly satisfied to see the sixth-year pro in complete command of the ' offense Monday night. He was accurate, decisive and  in his 2019 debut against one of the league's most gifted defensive minds in  coach Vic Fangio. Carr tied for the third-fastest time to throw in Week 1 (2.33 seconds), per Next Gen Stats, which, combined with solid performances up front, helped neutralize Denver's fierce pass rush. If Oakland's offensive linemen can continue to hold up their end of the bargain (4 QB pressures, 0 sacks, per NGS), No. 4's got the goods to dice up defenses like it's 2016.

Bhanpuri: Mayfield was having a highly productive afternoon (22-for-29 passing for 258 yards and a TD) at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday ... until the final 15 minutes. Three awful interceptions later, including one returned for a touchdown, and a nine-point deficit at the start of the quarter ended with the  losing by 30. Although No. 6 held the ball too long on , the play call was actually the most frustrating part of that sequence.

Bhanpuri: Tough to evaluate a QB's performance when he had more kneel-downs (2) than dropbacks (0) in the fourth quarter of a game. Mike Zimmer's  played out in front of his very eyes in the season opener, as the  ran the ball 38 times while Cousins attempted just 10 passes in the team's 28-12 win over the . Minnesota's QB1 did make the most of his opportunities, however, hitting  in stride with a  for the ' first touchdown of the game, and then dropping a  right into ' hands late in the third quarter to help set up the team's final score of the day. Cousins didn't do anything to warrant a drop in the rankings. Then again, he didn't get a chance to do much at all on Sunday. Something tells me he'll live with both outcomes.

Bhanpuri: That Superman doesn't have to barrel into defenders to move the chains and carry the offense anymore -- now that  has assumed those responsibilities -- has to serve as a breath of fresh air for  fans who no longer have to hold their collective breath with each snap. That said, three rushing attempts for -2 yards from one of the most dangerous mobile quarterbacks the game has ever known feels more like regression than evolution. Newton showed solid anticipation and velocity on comeback routes Sunday, but missed some layups and noticeably took only one shot of 20 yards or more the entire game. Whether it's because No. 1's shoulder isn't quite right or simply a result of Norv Turner's system (or both), if the  stick to this script, then their pass catchers (looking at you, D.J. Moore) will need to rack up more YAC than they did in Week 1, when they ranked 29th in the ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷Íøin Next Gen Stats' YAC above expectation metric.
POST-TNF UPDATE: Cam's scattershot, stationary play in Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers (he completed 25 of 51 throws for 333 yards, zero touchdowns and a 70.1 passer rating) did nothing to allay questions about his hardiness. In fact, this kind of showing -- on a national, prime-time stage, no less -- only amplified them. A fall into the bottom half of next week's rankings awaits.

Bhanpuri: Don't let the ' 30 points on Sunday fool you: Goff did not play well. The former first overall pick was inconsistent the entire afternoon, repeatedly missing both reads and throws and struggling altogether with balls downfield. Goff posted the worst passer rating (18.8) on passes of 10-plus air yards among qualifying QBs in Game 1, an issue that has plagued the young QB since last postseason and which my colleague David Carr .

I wanted to rank him higher on my personal list, but we've seen Dalton get out to fast starts before, only to ultimately crumble. Consider that Dalton has posted a first-half passer rating of 90-plus in four previous seasons, but he's only topped 88 in the second half once in his career. If he continues to roll in Zac Taylor's offense, well ... I don't want to actually say "Dalton-aissance," but, you know. I'll be thinking it.

Murray's first-half performance  (6 of 16 for 41 yards, 0 TDs and an ugly pick, plus multiple batted balls) was among the worst by an ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷Íøquarterback in Week 1 since 2010; in that span, only , who compiled a first-half passer rating of 8.2,Ìý. Things seemed to start to come together for him in the third quarter, when he had success attacking the middle of the field and put together the first real scoring drive of his career. The offensive blitz he marshaled in the final six minutes or so of regulation, connecting on a pair of touchdown tosses and a two-point conversion, provided a tantalizing view of what could be in store.

Fortunately, Trubisky's current teammates picked him up, forcing a three-and-out to give the quarterback one last chance at heroics.
