Jalen Hurts fell from No. 9 in 2025 to No. 17 in 2026. There is no question that Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Matt Stafford and Lamar Jackson are among the best in the NFL. But are Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, Jared Goff and Caleb Williams really better than Hurts?

Hurts dropped to No. 17 in exec rankings despite strong win record.

Hurts fell from No. 9 in ESPN's 2025 quarterback rankings to No. 17 in 2026 according to Jeremy Fowler's annual executive evaluation. The source questions whether Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, Jared Goff, and Caleb Williams are truly better than Hurts, noting that only Prescott (30 TDs, 10 INTs, 4,552 passing yards) has a clear statistical argument. The source argues NFL execs should weight winning more heavily in their evaluations.
