Hurts is not as good as Allen. But he’s made tremendous strides. He works harder in the off season on improving than possibly any player in the NFL. The Philly OL/DL is their secret sauce to success.

Just curious, what makes it a once in a lifetime performance?
27-38 for 304 and a TD is a nice game for a QB.
I suppose you think the 15-70 rushing and the TDs are what sets it apart? For a QB, it didn't seem like that mythical of a game.

Correct, but has had 3 outstanding seasons since then.

Yep. The addition of Diggs certainly helped. Same with AJ Brown helping Hurts in Philly.

Agree with these rankings.
Ok, I've officially reached the time of year where I'm done with rankings lol. Well ok, saving some patience for NFLN's Top 100 because that's fun but otherwise... yeah, 100% ready for camp.

Hurts looked VERY average before last year. Then he looks really good with an elite offensive roster around him. I don't think Hurts is a guy that will ever take an average roster on his back and get them to the playoffs. He's just not that guy in my opinion.
We've seen Allen do that to a certain extent. I'm very interested to see what Hurts does this year, just like I was very interested to see what Burrow would do the year after he put up his first very good year.
He looked every bit as good as Allen in his first 2 years. When Allen makes a Super Bowl then I'll give him the nod.

The dude scored 4 TDs and a 2-point conversion. Just using his 3 rushing TDs and his conversion ties him for the most ever points scored by any player at any position in the history of the NFL in a Super Bowl.
You are free to not think it's one of the best performances put up by a QB in the history of the Super Bowl, but you might be in the minority.

Popularity contest.
Allen got a head start because Jalen Ramsey declared Josh Allen to be an awful QB.
No DB would dare make that mistake with Burrow
Burrow is better than Mahomes hands down
