Opinions vary on the quality of play in the NFL this season, with some suggesting it lacks excitement; however, the league showcases at least three quarterbacks who will be remembered as exceptional talents.
Even though one of these standout players might miss this year’s playoffs, he is still regarded highly throughout the league. Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, has earned a reputation as an elite player over the past few years, receiving praise from Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who likened him to legends Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
While Burrow’s statistics and performance may not appear flashy, he consistently delivers results, maintaining his composure and poise, even when facing intense pressure.
His ability to stay calm under pressure has also drawn parallels to another legendary figure—Joe Montana, who was known for treating crucial moments in the Super Bowl as if he were simply enjoying a leisurely afternoon at home in the 1980s.
Despite the Bengals’ disappointing 7-8 record, which puts them on the brink of playoff elimination, Burrow has impressively amassed 4,229 passing yards and 39 touchdowns, leading the league in both categories.
The team’s primary challenge this season has been its defense, which ranks low in multiple metrics, such as points allowed, total yards surrendered, and first downs permitted.
With uncertainties surrounding the contract statuses of wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, a strong performance in the 2025 season remains uncertain for Cincinnati.
