Despite a year that saw Hurts hoist up the Lombardi Trophy and earn Super Bowl MVP, the quarterback barely cracked ESPN’s top 10. Instead, quarterbacks like Jared Goff (No. 8), Justin Herbert (No. 7), Matthew Stafford (No. 6), and Jayden Daniels (No. 5) were ranked above him.

Jalen Hurts was ranked 9th by NFL execs, despite a Super Bowl MVP season. Here's why that ranking is disrespectful and flat-out wrong.

ESPN poll on NFL quarterbacks done by executives, coaches and scouts within the league has placed Jalen Hurts as the ninth best QB. The AP writers' list, on the other hand, has Hurts at No.

Pro Football Focus ranked Hurts as a No. 5 quarterback; however, he was placed in the high-end starters category. Above him, in the elite category, was Josh Allen (No. 4), Lamar Jackson (No. 3), Joe Burrow (No. 2), and Patrick Mahomes (No. 1).

Jayden Daniels' rookie season was as brilliant as they come and thanks to the Washington Commanders' recent moves on offense, 2025 should be even better.NFL executives, coaches, and scouts believe the same.

What's sad is that Hurts continues to be the topic of summer rage bait, both locally and nationally. Low hanging fruit from the radio and TV outlets.
