Who the heck is this guy? Patrick Mahomes the 6th best QB in the league?
I came across this article after listening to the local sports program where they were talking about Trevor Lawrence....
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/p...-lead-the-way/ Sometimes you just wonder what people are thinking other than, " can I create clickbait" when they put up crap like this. Post-draft NFL QB Power Rankings 1 Jayden Daniels Washington Commanders QB Recency bias? Sure. But you'd be hard-pressed to find an NFL team that wouldn't hurry to claim him as its quarterback of the present and future, contenders included. He was simply unflappable for much of his dynamic debut, which ended on the doorstep of the Super Bowl . A second-year dip is possible, but who says Daniels won't keep climbing with some added veteran help in D.C.? 2 Jalen Hurts Philadelphia Eagles QB He was frequently and often unfairly knocked for holding more of a background role during much of the Eagles ' Super Bowl run, but what more can you ask of this man when the lights shine brightest? His title campaign may have proved he's best suited as a selective rather than high-volume passer, but his instincts, toughness, downfield touch and rugged mobility all show up in the clutch. 3 Joe Burrow Cincinnati Bengals QB The Bengals are just 14-13 in his last two seasons of starts, so it's clear he can't do it all alone. Yet who else would you rather have for pure pocket passing? His poise and precision are dynamite. 4 Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens QB The playoff hurdles have yet to be fully cleared. That doesn't change the fact Jackson is a walking fireworks show, forever liable to change a game in a single play with his dual-threat electricity. 5 Josh Allen Buffalo Bills QB The reigning MVP is coming off his most efficient season while operating with a new-look receiving group. Like Lamar Jackson , another AFC superhero, he's just yet to escape the Chiefs ' shadow. 6 Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs QB Was Mahomes' ugly Super Bowl showing an anomaly, or clear evidence his increasing dependence on last-minute heroics isn't as sustainable as it once was for Kansas City? A healthier pass-catching corps should help, but his leaky O-line still has questions. There's no denying No. 15 is still the most trustworthy signal-caller in the game, but he's now proven vulnerable twice on the big stage. |

I get we have a mostly new O-line, but the reality is that a decent left tackle to protect his backside and Mahomes is back to picking apart defenses. |

Well, if we are going by stats, Mahomes has regressed. But I expect him to bounce back.

Meh, they did the same thing a couple seasons ago, didn’t they? And I think we won the SB that year.
And just based on last season, really Baker should be ahead of Pat as well.

I get it if we are going by Fantasy Rankings but this isn't about that....you can tell that his "recency bias" is well out front.

Well yeah. I mean, these guys are basically going by last season’s stats without regard (mostly) to their respective careers or potential. These things are largely stat driven with maybe some acknowledgment of whatever they saw and n the playoffs, right?

He drops Mahomes for one bad performance vs Philly… and yet the QB he ranks first also had a bad game vs that same Eagles team.
No logic. |

Mahomes has had a Top 2 defense both of the last two years. A Top 10 QB should expect to go to a SB if that is the case. |

Mahomes’ play has dipped the last couple seasons.
He needs to have a far better year if he wants to keep his crown as best QB in the league. |

Chiefs Editorial Board? When you can’t bang chicks, you go for the clicks (and sharpen each others pencil).
