QB Rankings: Rodgers is the new No. 1 (17. Stafford:  Who knows if he'll even be trotted out amid even more injuries to close the year. At this point, all anyone really cares about is whether he'll get the chance to play elsewhere in 2021.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/week-17-nfl-qb-power-rankings-aaron-rodgers-overtakes-patrick-mahomes-as-josh-allen-remains-in-top-three/

QB Power Rankings 2020 Week 17: Rodgers overtakes Mahomes for the top spot (17. Stafford:  After completing 2-of-3 passes for 17 yards to begin Saturday’s game, Matthew Stafford tweaked his ankle and never returned to the contest. Chase Daniel took snaps with Stafford out, yet again, completing 13-of-18 for just 86 yards in another embarrassing loss for the Detroit Lions. Stafford is now dealing with a rib cartilage injury, a slight ligament tear in his right thumb, and now a sprained ankle, which continues to affect his standing among our 2020 QB power rankings. This poor guy needs to call it a year — hopefully, his last in Detroit.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/qb-power-rankings-2020/
