In no particular order. These may not even be the guys with votes in front of him. For all I know Stafford has more. Im just giving my quick thoughts on who I think might be on that list.
We could debate out of these 10 (including Burrow) who's better than who but and I think anyone could make a good argument for reorganizing this list any number of ways.
Im happy we got a guy that belongs in the conversation and think that has he continues to prove how good he is the media and fans from other teams will bump him up that list but for now just be happy he's in the top 10.
Murray, Brady, and Rogers are having great statistical seasons, but only Murray has a higher YPA and completion %. The problem with straight up stats is they don't always tell the real story of the game. Brady tries to score a TD every drive, even in garbage time. Burrow got pulled against a defense he was carving up. They also didn't run it up against the Raiders...just handed the ball off a lot. When the drive needs to be made, and the pass needs to be threaded in there, with the exception of one game very early in the season and the Cleveland game (that is two out of 11 games) Burrow has been as good as any QB in the league.
Watching Prescott miss wide open after wide open receiver last night was laughable. Playing in the NFC East is also laughable. Defense is optional.
Burrow has done it against the Packers, the Raiders, and the AFC North, and Sunday he will do it against the Chargers.
Mahommes hasn't had a season up to his standards, either. Maybe he has turned the tide, but all that investment in their offensive line and his weapons....been pretty disappointing.
