CFL Quarterback Rankings: The Best of the Best!

Welcome back to our bi-weekly series where we delve into the elite quarterbacks of the CFL! As we gear up for Week 15, it’s time to assess who’s at the top of their game, considering recent performances, stats, team achievements, and overall effectiveness on the field.

But first, let's acknowledge the weather woes that have affected gameplay. Those of you who thrive in ‘sweater weather’ might want to reconsider, especially when it dampens the passing game!

Current Power Rankings: Who's Hot and Who's Not?

1. **Nick Arbuckle | Toronto Argonauts (1)** Despite taking a bye last week, Arbuckle remains the undisputed number one quarterback in the league. His impressive fourth-quarter performance against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he completed 13 of 15 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns, solidifies his ranking. He’s now on a three-game streak without an interception!

2. **Trevor Harris | Saskatchewan Roughriders (2)** Harris holds his ground in silver, thanks to his team’s two victories over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. His standout moment came last week with a breathtaking 48-yard connection to Joe Robustelli, drastically shifting field position and leading to a field goal.

3. **Bo Levi Mitchell | Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4)** Mitchell gets a slight edge over Nathan Rourke after a notable 14-yard touchdown run that pushed him over 1,000 career rushing yards. Even though his efforts against the Argonauts almost made him a hero, he remains a formidable player.

4. **Nathan Rourke | BC Lions (3)** While Rourke’s two interceptions in a close game against the REDBLACKS are concerning, they weren't completely his fault. His performance continues to show potential as he grows into his role.

5. **Dustin Crum | Ottawa REDBLACKS (8)** Crum might not be the best in the league yet, but he’s certainly exciting! His display against the BC Lions showcased his dual-threat capabilities, finishing with 301 passing yards and another 69 rushing yards, ensuring he makes headlines this week.

6. **Vernon Adams Jr. | Calgary Stampeders (5)** Adams Jr. expressed mixed feelings after a win against the Edmonton Elks, indicating he feels he can perform better. He remains pivotal for the Stampeders despite recent lackluster outings.

7. **Cody Fajardo | Edmonton Elks (6)** Fajardo's recent performances have been overshadowed by a strong running game, but the pressure he faced last week was immense. He’ll need to step up in future games.

8. **Chris Streveler | Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-)** With Zach Collaros’s status in question after an injury, Streveler will get his chance. He’s struggled this season, but with a week of practice ahead, we hope to see improvement.

9. **McLeod Bethel-Thompson | Montreal Alouettes (-)** Bethel-Thompson seems set to start this weekend against the Roughriders, aiming for redemption after a costly interception in his last outing. Let’s hope he can turn things around.
