Just off the cuff, type out my top 10 right now without thinking I'd go...

1. Mahomes
2. Stafford
3. Burrow
4. Stroud
5. Goff
6. Allen
7. Jackson
8. Prescott
9. Herbert
10. Purdy
One good year doesn't put you in the top 5. Allen belongs in Strouds place. Allen carries his team. Stroud needs another year under his belt before he gets anointed. Purdy isn't top 10. If Burrow can be 3rd with a lost year then Cousins can be 10.

I bounced between Cousins and Purdy at 10. Purdy on any other team I wouldn't have him in top 15 but in his current situation he has to be considered unfortunately. Stroud is based on potential at this point and youth but I wouldn't argue them being switched.

Couldn't you have just done a top 9?

So was I

My point though is that every QB needs a lot of things to go his way to make it to the Super Bowl

Goff was able to make it to the Championship game with a so so defense and only a great WR and Very Good rookie TE and a very good OL protection. His other receivers weren't that great. I mean Reynolds was his number 2 receiver and the other receiver was a second year player that still hasn't really displayed anything special.

I will admit he had a very good run game too.

But still - scoring 31 points against SF defense is pretty damn good. And they could have scored more if the damn coach would have kicked FGs. Give him some credit.

I mean Mahomes only scored 19 points off that very same defense in regulation

They should have won that game with even just an average defense. I mean 1 ball being completed off the defender's damn helmet for gawd sake plus 2 easy drops by the secondary. Ouch.
