At this point in time, Mahomes is the only elite QB in the NFL IMO, but if you must call Burrow elite, then we need a new adjective for Mahomes. The gap between them is massive.

I don't think Smith was particularly special in his accuracy or ball placement, and he made up for that by having an average arm in terms of velocity and range. Pre-shoulder injury Smith was perhaps different, I don't really remember as he was a 49'er then with a different OC every year.
And the only adjective for Mahomes is: THE BEST WE'VE EVER SEEN.
I think that's pretty fair.
