NFL Power Rankings Week 3: Whose QBs Are Failing Them Most?

No wonder the Vikings, Seahawks, Chiefs and Colts are 0-2.

Their quarterbacks have been totally lost thus far.

With an uncomfortable and inconsistent signal-caller behind center, it's pretty hard to win games. I don't care how great the running game or defense is playing. 

Minnesota Vikings

Many believed the addition of Donovan McNabb would spring the Vikings into NFC North contention—make them a real dark horse. 

Through two games, McNabb has thrown for a total of 267 yards and is completing less than 56 percent of his passes. 

Adrian Peterson is the focal point of the offense, but the veteran McNabb is really failing his club right now. 

He doesn't have a multitude of weapons on offense, but Percy Harvin is dangerous enough that he shouldn't be playing this poorly. 

McNabb wasn't awful against the Buccaneers this past week, but 18-30 for 228 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions isn't good enough for me. 

For the Vikings to get out of the 0-2 hole they've dug for themselves, McNabb needs to start making more plays.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks entered the year with rather low expectations. They were a team many believed would be in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes late in the year.

However, as much help as they may need talent-wise, they are playing in the NFC West, which is the most wide-open division in football. 

Tarvaris Jackson was acquired to bring more athleticism to the quarterback position. The Seahawks front office attempted to make his transition smoother by adding former teammate Sidney Rice as well. 

By the numbers, you'd think Jackson has been okay. 

However, completing 20-29 passes for only 159 yards demonstrates Jackson's tendency to check down. 

Sure, some of this can be put on his receivers and shaky offensive line, but he's got the skill set to make plays. 

Kansas City Chiefs

Matt Cassel has played terribly through two games, but it's hard to fault him when he loses his All-Pro running back and the defense can't get off the field.

Still, if he made a few plays early in the second half against Buffalo, you never know what might have happened. 

Indianapolis Colts

Give Peyton Manning the MVP right now. 

The Colts offense is just downright horrid with Kerry Collins behind center. He's been a decent game manager, but they aren't dangerous and there's no real threat for the ball to be moved downfield. 

Indy is in some big trouble.
