Peter Bukowski· Jul 14, 2026
Bukowski lays out his own quarterback tiers: a 'big three' of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, followed by a tier of Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert and Jordan Love (with Burrow and Herbert slightly ahead of Love). He also insists Jordan Love belongs in the top 10 quarterbacks.
“And to me, the next tier is Love, Herbert, and Burrow.”

Jordan Love to finish top 10 at his position, by passing yards
“We're not gonna spend all our time this week talking about why Jordan Love is a top 10 quarterback.”
Too vague to check — we could not tell what would count as right.

“So if I were gonna make this list, I'd have my big four... Allen, Mahomes, Lamar. That's a big three. Excuse me. And to me, the next tier is Love, Herbert, and Burrow. ... Now if I were gonna do a ranking, I would probably have Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert ahead of Jordan Love.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
