Mina Kimes Under Fire for Her Matthew Stafford Ranking Among NFL QBs
Mina Kimes received strong criticism after ranking Matthew Stafford low on her list of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
The NFL season is still several months away, but debates about the best players in the league are already underway, including the annual ranking of quarterbacks. With sports analysts, TV personalities, and journalists unveiling their lists of the top 10, Mina Kimes is receiving strong feedback from fans questioning her opinions of the best QBs. The ESPN NFL analyst released her list, which features three-time Super Bowl winner and two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes at the top.
While he’s coming off a brutal injury to return for next season, it’s hard to argue he’s the best of the best based on his accomplishments. Kimes rounded out her top five selections with the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow, and New England Patriots’ Drake Maye. While those are tough to argue against, there may also be a strong case for someone to take one of their spots.
