Taking a look at the AFC Playoff Field, it is clear who the best quarterback is left standing.
Aaron Rodgers is 42. Bo Nix and Drake Maye are in their second seasons. Justin Herbert, CJ Stroud, and Trevor Lawrence are all good, but none have risen into MVP-contender status. Daniel Jones is injured. Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow are all on the outside looking in.
If I had told you in the preseason that Mahomes, Jackson, and Burrow would all miss the playoffs, every Bills fan would agree that the Bills would be the Super Bowl favorites, right?
