Three weeks into the NFL season, there remains just five undefeated teams\u2014the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Minnesota Vikings. Despite solid performances by the quarterbacks of these teams, only\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>,\u00a0Josh Allen<\/strong>, and\u00a0Sam Darnold<\/strong>\u00a0can qualify as being the top quarterbacks in the NFL at the moment.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Dan Orlovsky<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of 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:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Josh Allen<\/strong>\u00a0(Buffalo Bills)<\/li>\n
  2. Aaron Rodgers<\/strong>\u00a0(New York Jets)<\/li>\n
  3. Sam Darnold<\/strong>\u00a0(Minnesota Vikings)<\/li>\n
  4. Kyler Murray<\/strong>\u00a0(Arizona Cardinals)<\/li>\n
  5. Geno Smith<\/strong>\u00a0(Seattle Seahawks)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    Josh Allen<\/a>\u00a0truly deserves to be atop this list as the Bills\u2019 quarterback has been phenomenal three weeks into the season. With 634 yards and seven touchdowns with zero interceptions, he is undoubtedly a\u00a0front-runner for the MVP candidate<\/a>\u00a0this season. There is no denying that.<\/p>\n

    In the number 2 position is Aaron Rodgers, who has 624 yards and 5 touchdowns with one interception. The veteran is having a\u00a0good comeback season<\/a>\u00a0and rightfully belongs in that spot.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Patrick Mahomes has underperformed this season yet deserves to be ranked among the top 5 QBs in the NFL<\/h2>\n

    The same goes for Sam Darnold who has caught everyone off guard with his performance this season. Considering the\u00a0circumstances he was thrust into<\/a>\u00a0and the big shoes he was expected to fill, Darnold is a top QB in the NFL at this moment with 657 yards and eight touchdowns.<\/p>\n

    Kyler Murray\u2019s presence on the list is justified too as the quarterback has thrown for five touchdowns and one interception but his team has won just one game so far this season.<\/p>\n

    The final name on this list,\u00a0Geno Smith<\/strong>\u00a0is debatable. Sure, he has led the Seahawks to a 3-0 record but so has Patrick Mahomes. In fact, the Chiefs\u2019 quarterback has thrown for 659 yards, five touchdowns, and four interceptions in comparison to Smith\u2019s 787 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions.<\/p>\n

    Does one more interception on the part of Mahomes mean that Smith is a relatively better quarterback than him?<\/p>\n
