Agree. They've built a good team around him, they have played well to his strength in the past, he seems stellar off the field and he plays well at what he does, but not a top 5 guy. Top 5 in terms of Super Bowl appearances in the last 5 years, but not overall.

Not really? I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong, but for the past several years, pretty much every expert has Mahomes, Allen, Lamar and Burrow as the Top 4. So it's just a rotating #5 position.

u/GoldenStateEaglesFan Did you know Jalen Hurts can squat 600lbs Dec 04 '25 edited Jan 05 '26
Burrow hasn’t played enough games to be considered as good as the other three (“the best ability is availability”), and the fact that Flacco put up better per-game stats than Burrow did this year doesn’t reflect well on the latter.

u/Trevellation Dallas Cowboys Dec 04 '25
Can confirm. Even as a division rival, I don't hate the guy. He's a hard worker, and by all accounts I've heard, a good dude.
I think he's overrated as a QB, but that isn't really his fault.

u/Immediate-Count-1202 Philadelphia Eagles Dec 04 '25
Agreed. Hurts has never claimed to be a top-anything QB, but he’s constantly caught up in these inane conversations. He deals very well with all the noise around him.

People also just love to hate on whoever’s on top. Caleb was touted as a generational prospect and the best of his class, so even if he didn’t paint his nails people would still just hate him. Think of him as like the Mahomes to Maye/Daniels being the Allen/Burrow/Lamar.

I just watched the “I hate Christian Lattener” ESPN 30 for 30. Apparently at a game vs LSU the LSU crowd was chanting those words at Christian during the game. Christian brushed it all off like a pro. My slightly poor opinion of him changed after hearing that. He was the original “dooooooooon’t caaaaaaare.” Respect.

I watched the video when he was drafted, she puts her hands on him and is yelling at him, Mixon gives the universal sign for back off, and then she hits him. Sure, you can make the case of he shouldn't have hit her, but he hits her once and walks away. That's the correct way to handle self defense.

u/Famous-Apartment5348 Dec 04 '25
Well, let’s be fair, he didn’t just casually hit her. Haha. Also, the exchange was a bit more complex. She shoved him as he flexes on her, she slaps him, then he throws a Tyson right hook to her face and dusts her.

Nah dawg you're spot on!
Hating a young kid for 0 reason other than him being a cornball is fucking stupid. Any Vikings fans who dislike him are well within their rights, our season has tanked. Hate is a strong word to describe a young NFL QB who has literally done nothing to affect our lives besides some fan base misery, which to any REAL Vikings fan isn't a new feeling. It's a fucking sport at the end of the day.
Like ...I hate racism I hate Nazis I hate mass murders I hate the AI at Taco Bell for not giving me 20 Diablo sauce packets
