Three weeks into the NFL season, there remains just five undefeated teams—the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Minnesota Vikings. Despite solid performances by the quarterbacks of these teams, only Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Sam Darnold can qualify as being the top quarterbacks in the NFL at the moment.
However, Dan Orlovsky of ESPN begs to differ. The former NFL quarterback shared his list of the top five floor generals in the league at the moment. This is what the names on his list looked like:
- Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills)
- Aaron Rodgers (New York Jets)
- Sam Darnold (Minnesota Vikings)
- Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals)
- Geno Smith (Seattle Seahawks)
This list would be fair except that it does not include Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback because of whom the Kansas City Chiefs have an undefeated record.
Josh Allen truly deserves to be atop this list as the Bills’ quarterback has been phenomenal three weeks into the season. With 634 yards and seven touchdowns with zero interceptions, he is undoubtedly a front-runner for the MVP candidate this season. There is no denying that.
In the number 2 position is Aaron Rodgers, who has 624 yards and 5 touchdowns with one interception. The veteran is having a good comeback season and rightfully belongs in that spot.
