Dawkins is somewhat surprising but nice to see. Cook deserved this. Amazing how many doubters he had right from the start. 

 

I think Taron Johnson should make it every year.

Dawkins has been killing it this year. He is probably the most deserving.

If you throw out the goal line runs for Allen, his play this year definitely a peg below his prior years.

 

Dude that's crazy. If you remove all the plays Mahomes made with his right arm he's the worst player in NFL history.

Interceptions leaders by year.

 

2023: Howell, Allen, Mahomes, Hurts, Goff.

2022: Prescott, Mills, Cousins, Carr, Allen.

2021: Stafford, Lawrence, Heinecke, Allen, Herbert.

 

Fewest interceptions by year (min 12 games):

 

2023: Zack Wilson, Herbert, Lamar, Prescott, Carr/Wilson

2022: Daniel Jones, Hurts, Brissett, Tannehill, Lamar

2021: Rodgers, Taysom Hill, Russell Wilson, Wentz, Cousins

If your point is to say INT's void of anything else don't matter, well, you're still wrong, but it matters less.

If you throw out the goal line runs for Allen, his play this year definitely a peg below his prior years. His entire MVP candidacy has essentially been his ability to score inside the 5 yard line. Tons of bad games on the year. Which has been true across the league with QBs. Defenses definitely punched back this year in a major way.


If we took away the 10 underhand pitches Mahomes tossed to a RB from

inside the 5yd line that led to TD’s every season he wouldn’t have as many passing TD’s. Heck, we should also take away the 100 screen passes Mahomes and Chiefs run every season. 
 

COME ON PEOPLE.

Taron Johnson is 1 uncalled PI from costing the Bills 3 games on the same route this year, so I’ll say no to him this year. 
 

Ed O had a breakout year, but even so, it’s not like he jumped off the screen at people, nor got a lot of attention from the broadcasters so it’s no surprise he didn’t get the vote. 
 

Allen.. well, by the standards he set, he didn’t have a great year.  He scored a lot, but you can’t ignore the fact the Bills are in a do or die situation because of him being flat out awful against teams he’s expected to beat.  He hasn’t even been great in the do or die games.   I’m not shocked he didn’t get the nod.  Lamar is the leader of the best team in the AFC and he’s spectacular on highlights, votes are going to go there.  People love Tua for some reason.  Mahomes has actually played pretty well up until the last 3 weeks, I don’t know what you can do when your receivers can’t catch a cold. 
 


At the end of it all, it’s a popularity contest.

I think I remember from last year when Lamar Jackson inexplicably got the pro bowl over Allen, it came out that the big difference was the player portion of the vote.

 

Basically the players hate Josh Allen’s guts and won’t vote for him. They all seem to be buddies with Lamar Jackson, so he got the nod (despite not deserving it at all).

 

I have to imagine something similar happened this year. My conspiracy theory is he hasn’t been able to shake the reputation from the pre-draft tweets.

Score the most number of TDs as a QB… be an alternate. The turnover storyline has really done a number on Josh. Bet Mahomes has still made it, despite his count not being that much lower. Jackson is obvious. Who’s the third? Tua?

Josh has simply had too many ineffective games.  Sorry, but face it.  He's been too inconsistent.  I'm less concerned about the interception total because only some of them were his fault, and only some of them hurt.  I'm more concerned about drives that fail or don't get started at all because he misses an open receiver with a bad pass or doesn't see the open guy at all.  He's just been off for at least five games, including the last two.

How in the blue hell is Ed Oliver a THIRD alternate? That's insane. 

Ed says "f*** you, from me and the horse I rode in on!"

42 TDs. 14 more than his nearest AFC rival. Yes, he's been inconsistent but what does that say for the rest?

 

ETA - 13. I was looking at Tua rather than Russell Wilson.

The bolded is exactly why Allen doesn't get the same treatment as Mahomes. Even some Bills fans are clouded by this. If Mahomes has actually played pretty well this year outside of the last 3 weeks and Allen has been awful, then why does Allen have a higher QBR and more total touchdowns (same passing and higher rushing TDs)? Also, lets not act like the Bills receivers don't drop a ton of passes for Allen either. 

 

Allen is apparently held to a higher standard than Mahomes even though those that do this view Mahomes as better than Allen.

hard to believe Josh has only 2 pro bowl seasons....ridged 

 

And probably in part why he doesn't get more nominations despite being one of the most popular QB's in the league when he turned down going to the pro bowl those 2 times probably didn't help his being chosen to go . 

 

To do what he has done and not be chosen more or be a MVP candidate in any of the past 4 or 5 years is kind of crazy the guy has done some historically changing things in the league but even if you do win more than others i guess some times that doesn't matter .

 

Only to the Bills Mafia . GO BILLS !!! Oh & congrats to those that did make it !!
