Each year, Mike Sando of The Athletic publishes his outstanding " QB Tiers " post, this year with commentary gathered from "six general managers, six assistant GMs, six former GMs, five other executives, eight head coaches and 19 other coaches, including 15 coordinators."
So, you know, these rankings are from people with (mostly) high-level jobs in the NFL, as opposed to any old jabroni with a keyboard who thinks Geno Smith or Trevor Lawrence are better than Jalen Hurts because, "Durrr, hUrtS' tEAm is gUd, sO tHaT mEAnS hE's nOt gUd ."
Spoiler: Hurts finished tied for ninth with the Texans' C.J. Stroud. The eight guys ahead of Hurts:
Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs
Joe Burrow, Bengals
Josh Allen, Bills
Lamar Jackson, Ravens
Matthew Stafford, Rams
Jayden Daniels, Commanders
