Are we talking about future HOF or who is currently playing at an elite level?

Mahomes is 1 and there isn't a close 2nd. 90% of Mahomes plays are nothing special, lots of screens, swing passes, short slants that any NFL QB makes. What makes Mahomes undisputed #1 is those 4 or 5 crucial plays in a game. When you must get a 1st down or the game is over. When you need to get in the endzone because a FG doesn't cut it. When it's 3rd and 11 and you desperately need a 1st down.

Wasn't it fun against the Chargers last week not hoping but knowing we were getting a TD? Even 2nd tier QB's like Allen and Burrow in a late game drive fans are HOPING they can get it done. With Mahomes it's not hoping but KNOWING what is going to happen.

Like Rodgers in his prime, he was great at piling on that meaningless 4th TD pass vs the Bears or the Lions, but in the NFC championship vs Seattle in the 4th Q literally all he had to do was move the sticks a couple times and the game was over. Couldn't do it. Rodgers apologists will say "It was the legion of boom he was against." Brady tore them up with the game on the line on the biggest stage.

In 2022 Allen and Burrow are to Mahomes what Rodgers was to Brady. Nice stats but in a big spot it's not even close who you want leading that game deciding drive. Sure Mahomes throws INTs sometimes, but NEVER that back breaking INT in a crucial spot. What Allen did against Minnesota in OT Mahomes would never ever do.

ROFL

If Jimmy G is around #10 then the NFL is full of garbage QBs.

1 quarterback ranked for every decade the earth has existed!

Rankings are tough.

Do you weight off of recent trends? Past history? Do you account for injury or missed games? There's so much to consider..

That said, for this season overall, I'd say:

1. Mahomes
2. Burrow
3. Tagovailoa
4. Hurts
5. Allen
6. G. Smith
7. Rodgers
8. Jackson
9. Herbert
10. Brady
