Mahomes Mountain Week 6: Jared Goff Rises, Patrick Mahomes Remains At The Summit

Nick Wright’s quarterback hierarchy saw a handful of names tumble this week but one signal caller stayed at the top of the mountain: Patrick Mahomes is alone at the summit.

Jalen Hurts falls again, Dak Prescott drops after an underwhelming Thursday night, and Matthew Stafford actually climbs despite a loss — while a trio of backups quietly moved up the board.

Here’s how Wright sees the league’s quarterbacks this week: Wright's thoughts: "Off the mountain, injured and off the mountain because of performance.

Injured: Lamar should be back, Caleb should be back, Baker should be back.

Jaxson Dart won’t be back." Wright's thoughts: "Cam Ward, Malik Willis, Tyson Bagent — yikes.

And Justin Herbert, who I don’t see, how, right now, he’s not one of the 28 best quarterbacks in the league.

They got the ball back down six, and I felt like they had no shot whatsoever.

I don’t know what’s wrong.

We’ll talk about him later." Wright: "Bottom of the mountain.

Jalen Hurts has to fall again.

I understand there’s a lot working against him, the injuries, the retirement [of offensive tackle Lane Johnson], the head coach — I get it.

But the offense is also not functional.

His whole thing had been, hey, the stats might not be pretty, but we’re winning.

You don’t have that either on a three-game losing streak.
