Are Burrow and Herbert in the same tier?

Close, but I would say no. Burrow shares a tier with Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen as the three nipping at Mahomes' heels. Herbert probably has the potential to reach this tier if more was put on his plate, but I haven't seen it yet.

Agreed

Rankings:

Tier One: Multiple MVPs and/or Ring(s) in 5 year span
1. Mahomes

Tier Two: Multiple MVPs in 5 year span
2. Lamar

Tier Three: top 5 QB at least 3x in 5 year span
3. Allen

Tier Four: top 10 QB at least 3x in 5 year span
4. Burrow
5a. Stafford
5b. Herbert

Tier 5: top 10 QB at least 2x in 5 year span
7. Murray
8. Purdy
9. Hurts
10. Prescott

HM- Tua = injuries
HM- Rodgers = age related decline


I’d say Burrow is close to Allen’s tier but in fairness to Allen, he’s been consistently a top 3-5 QB while Burrow has consistently been top 5-10. After this season, I think Burrow moves into Allen’s tier if he continues his current pace, but as it stands I’d have him on the same tier as Herbert.

If I had to shrink the tiers, Lamar and Allen would be on the same level without Burrow.

I could be convinced that I’m downplaying some of the guys not in tier 5. Didn’t give that much consideration to this list.

No, but Herbert's trajectory is on the way up. He's doing more this year with less than previous seasons.

He could finally work his way into the top 6-7 position people have been claiming he's at for years.

Absolutely not.

 

Herbert is a tier above. 

My fanboy-ism got the better of me by the 2nd quarter.

 

The real answer is that the top 5 QBs in the league should indisputably be Mahomes/Allen/Lamar/Burrow/Herbert. Nobody else is close to those 5.

1. Mahomes* (unless he keeps playing the way he has this year)
T2. Burrow/Allen/Lamar
T3. Hebert/Goff
A whole bunch of guys can fit in the next tier(s) and it's hard to say as their performances fluctuate from year to year.
