Yahoo Sports NFL on Jalen Hurts
From the article
Jalen Hurts fell from No. 9 in 2025 to No. 17 in 2026... Hurts has a cumulative 22-13-1 record head-to-head against the previous 16 quarterbacks listed ahead of him. He is 5-3 in the postseason against those ahead of him and he's a combined 8-2 against Stafford, Mahomes and Burrow.
STACKED’s take
Hurts' ranking drop to No. 17 unjustified given his 22-13-1 head-to-head record vs. higher-ranked QBs.
The source argues Hurts' ranking fell from No. 9 in 2025 to No. 17 in 2026 among NFL executives' quarterback evaluations despite a 57-25 career record and winning record against 16 quarterbacks ranked ahead of him (22-13-1 head-to-head, 5-3 postseason). The source contends his ranking decline is unjustified given his track record: he is 8-2 against Stafford, Mahomes, and Burrow combined; only Mahomes, Stafford, and Darnold among the 16 ranked above him have won Super Bowls; and in the last four years as a starter, the Eagles produced 50 victories—more than any four-year span in franchise history, including two Super Bowl appearances with one win. The source suggests winning should count more heavily in quarterback evaluation.
