The electrifying Super Bowl LVII concluded with some narratives left untied. The Kansas City Chiefs emerged triumphant with a 38-35 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles, hoisting the Lombardi trophy high. However, it was the beginning of an ongoing debate – the quest for the ultimate quarterback. The tale of rivals, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, has always intrigued fans.

Interestingly, during their clash at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Mahomes and Hurts didn’t even exchange a handshake on the gridiron. This rivalry regained its fervor recently when the NFL’s top 100 players list ranked MVP Patrick Mahomes at number 1, while Jalen Hurts secured a commendable rank 3. Nevertheless, a recent development has brought a smile to the face of Eagles’ supporters. It appears that Hurts has chosen to embrace Mahomes’ influence.

Is Hurts the number 1 QB?

In a recent update, the NFL Notifications Twitter page shared a fresh list of quarterbacks just a few hours ago. This brought exciting news for Jalen Hurts of the Eagles and his devoted fans. The tweet boldly proclaimed “TOP 10 NFC QUARTERBACKS,” positioning the highly valued $255 million Hurts at the coveted number 1 spot.

This achievement holds considerable significance within the NFC, particularly given that on the AFC side, Patrick Mahomes retains his top-tier status at number 1. Among the NFC lineup, the order after Hurts is as follows: Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott, Derek Carr, Brock Purdy, and Bryce Young.

While Hurts has secured the prestigious NFC number 1 position, the upcoming season poses a demanding journey for him. This is underscored by $450 million Mahomes maintaining his formidable hold on the number 1 spot in the broader NFL rankings.

Who is the best?

Mahomes and Hurts, hailing from Texas, honed their high school football skills in the Lone Star State before ascending to stardom as NFL quarterbacks. Over time, both players solidified their status as NFL elites. Yet, amidst this trajectory, a new NFL apex has been reached by Patrick Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl champion. In the NFL Network’s annual ranking of the top 100 players, as voted by his peers, Mahomes has asserted himself as the preeminent force in the league, a distinction he also achieved in 2021.

Simultaneously, a compelling poll circulated among NFL players: Jalen versus Mahomes, the battle of the best. The prevailing sentiment swung towards Jalen Hurts, with an overwhelming consensus. In an accompanying video, prominent figures including Bradley Chubb, Lane Johnson, Tua Tagovailoa, Chris Jones (himself ranked 10th), and even Patrick Mahomes, offered effusive praise for Hurts and his exceptional throws.

However, as the season unfolds, it will reveal who is the best QB and the next Super Bowl champion.
