Fair enough. I was probably mixing "Top Ten" a bit with "teams happy with their QB's." I suppose I'd give the edge to Hurts based upon Jackson's injury history and Hurts' abilitiy to avoid needless drama so far. And although it's most definitely a team sport, 14-1 and a Super Bowl appearance last year vs Jackson having yet to reach an AFC championship game is going to resonate with some who might be doing rankings. But sure, I don't really quibble with your nit... other than where I just did?

Going back "a few" years , Dans Marino and Fouts would be pretty good examples of that!
