They&#8217;ll even tell you with a straight face that, if any of Burrow&#8217;s top-flight peers were drafted to the Bengals, they&#8217;d have won a Super Bowl by now.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Josh Allen every day of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Josh might have a Super Bowl already if he had the weapons Burrow has. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FziJneWNWP\">https:\/\/t.co\/FziJneWNWP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kurt Benkert (@KurtBenkert) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KurtBenkert\/status\/1952813649925444008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 5, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Burrow is a GREAT quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Burrow would probably not have had nearly the amount of success if he ended up in Kyler Murray\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n<p>Jared Goff, same boat.<\/p>\n<p>QB success is SO situational.

That&#8217;s right. Ahead of the Bills&#8217; Josh Allen and AFC North rival Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\">Experts conclude only Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes are unanimous Tier 1 QBs<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Mike Sando of <em>The Athletic<\/em> just released his annual list of QB tiers, which surveyed a collection of 50 anonymous panelists. They consist of current and former GMs, assistant GMs, eight head coaches, 15 coordinators, and other executives and coaches. A group of folks who are as engrossed in football and ball knowledge as you could ever find.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Not a single one amongst the 50 surveyed opined that Burrow belonged anywhere else but the very top tier. I&#8217;ll share the full list below, along with the three notable quotes that Sando shared about our beloved Joe.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Six GMs, six assistant GMs, six former GMs, five other execs, eight head coaches and 19 other coaches, including 15 coordinators, comprise <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SandoNFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SandoNFL<\/a>&#39;s 50-person panel.<\/p>\n<p>The goal was simple: Tier every veteran QB in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Did they get it right? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4UyajtKvfs\">pic.twitter.com\/4UyajtKvfs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Athletic (@TheAthletic) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAthletic\/status\/1954890698697957853?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 11, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">One head coach said Burrow is, &#8220;the closest thing to Joe Montana that I have seen.&#8221; Another defensive coach labeled Burrow &#8220;a stud&#8221; who you must confuse pre-snap or he&#8217;ll make you pay. He also respects Burrow&#8217;s arm talent, which is underrated in perpetuity because of the generational rockets attached to the right shoulders of Allen and Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">What stood out most to me \u2014 a big statement considering the Montana comparison \u2014 was as follows. An offensive line coach who would know if it&#8217;s a quarterback&#8217;s fault for taking too many sacks chimed in with this:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\"><em><strong>&#8220;To me, it&#8217;s Mahomes and then Burrow if I had to rank them.
