Quarterback is the most important position in football. Having one of the best in the league can be the difference between a playoff berth, a Super Bowl appearance and missing the playoffs entirely.
As such, every team that doesn't have their version of a franchise quarterback will be looking for one this offseason. The past two years, teams gave up tons of draft capital and salary cap space to land who they thought could lead them to a championship.
Not every team is in dire straits at the quarterback position. Some teams have found their long-term starter, either through the draft or elsewhere. Others, though, are still on the fence about how to proceed at the position.
We placed every team’s quarterback situation — defined as the QB who started the most games last season, with two exceptions in the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers, explained below — into four tiers: franchise quarterback, solid starter, upgrade potential and replacement needed. We did so based on a composite ranking of three advanced metrics: Wins Above Replacement (WAR) from Pro Football Focus, Defense-adjusted Value Above Average (DVOA) from Football Outsiders and Expected Points Added per Play (EPA/play). We also accounted for scheme and coaching changes, as well as a general eye test for each situation/player.
This is not an exact science. For instance, by this overall metric Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff ranked sixth, while Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert ranked 17th. That doesn’t mean the Lions have a franchise quarterback in Goff, nor does it mean the Chargers should try to replace Herbert.
Still, this is at least a statistical guideline to understand where teams stand before free agency opens in three weeks and the draft takes place in a little over two months.

The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
