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

Justin Herb
