BuffaloBills1998 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The guy played lights out this season and proved a lot of doubters wrong about him. He broke both of Kelly and Bledsoe’s stats and He has everything we’ve wanted in a QB for so long. He’s a hell of a leader and his teammates and coaching staff love him.

Rc2catch Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think the odds are pretty heavy it goes 1) Rodgers 2) Mahomes 3) Allen Any fan can make an argument for each to win but I think we all know there is a little popularity into this award. Rodgers is closing in on the end, it means more to his legacy. Mahomes is the new NFL poster boy. Allen is on his way.

Josh actually has many more yards than Rodgers. I think Josh has a SERIOUS case for MVP. FWIW... I believe Rodgers has been absolutely INCREDIBLE. He's the best QB to ever step foot on the field (Brady is the most winning, I get that... Rodgers is just far superior in virtually every other aspect.)

Kelly was great and he was tough as nails, but he had no where near the skills that Allen has. What Kelly had was the Option of NFL MVP and HOFer Thurman Thomas at his side. Kelly was the Leader of the Bills, but Thurman Thomas was the piece of the puzzle that made it possible. Allen is like Thurman, he is so dangerous as a player with his multiple skill sets. Kelly was a game manager that called the plays at the line, Allen is a game changer that can make plays Kelly physically could not. Kelly was a star at Miami and was drafted as an expected starting QB. Kelly had a serious attitude of being superior when drafted and went after the money in Houston before that league folded. Allen was a question mark and seemed quite humble coming into the league. Allen had to earn everything before and after the draft. Allens attitude and potential got him here. Kelly is a different person now after suffering some life tragedies, he grew as a person later in life. Josh is years ahead of him in that regard. Both are great, but in their own way.

Never NEVER Give-up Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Serious consideration would be nice, but Rodgers should win it.

I see a lot of people just blindly repeat this, but I don't think there's any real reason, other than name recognition, to pick Rodgers over Allen for this award. Their stats (including W-L) are pretty much indistinguishable, so that can't be the reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more existential/philosophical question of "what does 'most valuable' actually MEAN?" is a valid one. Unfortunately, it's not a question that the voters seem particularly interested in addressing. What MVP has really become is "best quarterback of the year".

May Day 10 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I think it should be: 1. henry (2000 yards is so against the grain and head and shoulders above the position. Titans would be sunk without him) 2. Rodgers - best QB stats this season. traditionally MVP is the 'best QB award' 3A. Allen - purely on stats, perhaps Mahomes gets it, but the Bills being an emerging team helps, as well as 8 rushing TDs and the general trending of the season. 3B. Mahomes henry was nearly 500 yards above the next best rusher in Cook... and almost 900 yards ahead of the 3rd leading rusher! There were only 9 1000-yard rushers this season.

billsfan89 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I suspect Allen will finish second in the MVP voting behind Rodgers. Wilson trailed off a bit and fell behind Josh in total TD's and yardage. Mahomes won passing yardage but fell behind on total TD's and total yards. Rodgers is also the veteran guy who hasn't won in a long time for the best team in the NFC this year. All 5 candidates for MVP (Rodgers, Josh, Mahomes, Wilson and Henry) are on teams that won between 11-14 games, so they are all winners who made the playoffs and won their division. Rodgers wins it by a hair but Josh will and should be second place in votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand how anyone can accurately say either Allen or Rodgers is more important to their team. They are equally important on pass heavy offenses. Both teams would be devastated if both got knocked out for the season week 1. And actually, if that happened, Bills likely have a better record than Packers given we have a better overall roster. So if you wanted to split hairs, I think Rodgers means more to Packers given their overall roster isn’t as good as ours. But end of the day, neither team is likely a playoff team without their respective starting QB and are really equally as important to their teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineforty Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I feel like D Henry isn't getting enough recognition. Not saying he should win, but I've only seen or heard his mentioned by a couple. 2k yards. I know that gets into the MVP vs. OPOY debate. A Peterson won over P Manning into 2012. Maybe Rodgers/Mahomes/Allen all had better seasons than Manning. Too lazy to look further. 4 minutes ago, Nineforty said: I feel like D Henry isn't getting enough recognition.

Barnwell, fwiw, brings up this point, which I had not previously thought about (he has Josh at 3rd in MVP behind Mahomes and Rodgers): "Allen has added more value with his legs than his counterparts, but he also has more turnovers (14) than Mahomes and Rodgers combined (11)." https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/30647071/nfl-awards-2020-picks-mvp-best-rookies-offensive-defensive-players-year-top-coaches Edited January 4, 2021 by Nineforty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only counter argument I could offer is that at least the Packers have a 1st round QB waiting in the wings in Jordan Love, whereas the bills have a journeyman who was out of the NFL until the Bills called him. But overall, you're right: elite QBs -- the guys that win the MVP award every year -- are extremely valuable to their team in all cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyBoy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Only ten players have won the Super Bowl and MVP in the same season. The last one back in 1999. Allen for Super Bowl MVP is what matters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think it's Allen and here's why.... Allen separated his non throwing shoulder just before halftime in the week 4 victory vs the Raiders. The next 4 weeks he plays with a bulky LBers harness to prevent to from separating again. Matt Hasselbeck did a piece right before the Seahawks game on this and said it does effect your throwing and accuracy. Having had that injury before, Matt accurately predicts that it's about the time Josh should be feeling better and predicts a big game for Allen(31/38 415 3 TDs/1 Rushing TD) In those 4 games Josh was 71/129 846 Yds 55% 6.55 YPA 4 TDs 4 INTs QB Rating 72.69 only 1 Rushing TD....Win/Loss 2-2. Outside those 4 games he was 325/443 3,698 Yds 73.36% 8.35 YPA 33 TDs 6 INTs QB Rating 117.19, 7 Rushing TDs....Win/Loss 11-1. Neither Rodgers or Mahomes had to play as injured as Josh was and he still hung with them in wins and stats. He's the Most VALUABLE Player to his team.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) He's in the running but not this year. I'de love to see co-mvps. Henry also deserves it. But Rodgers was the leader all year. It's hard to catch someone when they keep putting up numbers as well. Allen is getting a lot of support. I'm seeing Total Tds used more also. I wish the Bills got Allen 5,000 yards. That would compete with 50tds by Rodgers and 2000 yards by Henry. He did do something no other QB has ever done. It's possible.

Jobot Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Unfortunately the season compiles statistics from 16 games, not the first few and final 8. (Allen gets the 2nd half MVP no doubt) Also, Allen sat in the second half of the past two games.. but Rogers wins it this year. He didn't leave any question about it.
