They literally blew out playoff caliber teams week in week out. Lamar didnt need 50 tds they were already up on their opponents by the 4th q. We barely scrapped into the playoffs and played a lighter schedule. Give jackson his due. We have another MVP we are eyeing. While the Ravens did have a harder overall schedule (according to wins and losses by opponents), Josh (the Bills) had a better record against playoff teams. Josh/Bills were 5-1 against playoff teams, with the only loss being to Philly in OT, a game that the refs stole from Buffalo (and should have been a win). Lamar/Ravens were 6-3 against playoff teams---you could subtract one loss due to Baltimore sitting Jackson and others in week 18, to make a 6-2 record vs. playoff teams for Lamar. So, Josh won 83.33% of games vs. playoff teams (as I said, it should have been 100%), and Lamar won 75% of games vs. playoff teams (not counting week 18). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 16 hours ago, julian said: until you watch Purdy and Allen play the game of football and quickly realize there’s levels to this QB thing lol. Another good reason that watching players on the field instead of looking at stats is the proper way to evaluate QBs. There are certain players who look a lot better on paper than on the field. My #1 paper tiger is Kirk Cousins. Looks great on paper & many fall for his stats but comes up small on the field in clutch moments. I said this many times, but I'll repeat it here: There's a reason players and coaches study videos for hours instead of just having a short meeting, have the coaches hand out stat sheets & announce "Go get 'em boys" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes some great points: This is a guy pursuing clicks rather than logic. This guy makes mistake after mistake. He says that "the last three Super Bowl-winning QBs have been in the top five in INTs," and he shows a graphic where he says that Mahomes was tied for 4th last year. Um, no, Davis Mills, Dak, Josh, Derek Carr and Cousins all had 13 or more. Mahomes was in a four-way tie for sixth, putting him in the top nine. Not 4th. The same graphic says that Brady was tied for 3rd with 12 the year he won the SB. Yeah, um, wrong again. He also was tied for sixth, though with three other guys. And why the sudden switch to Super Bowl winners? We're talking about MVP winners, aren't we? The year Brady won the SB, he wasn't the MVP. Rodgers was, throwing 5 INTs. The next year, when Stafford was the SB winner, Rodgers was again MVP. This time with 4 INTs. So the last three MVP winners had 5, 4 and 12 INTs. Josh has 18 this year. In that group of four, see anything that sticks out? Here are the INT totals for the last 10 winners of the MVP: 2022: 12 2021: 4 2020: 5 2019: 6 2018: 12 2017: 8 2016: 7 2015: 10 2014: 5 2013: 10 Again, Allen has 18. His INT numbers do not fit with this group. No wonder the guy in this video suddenly and without explanation switches away from SB winners and completely botches the INT rankings of two of the three guys he cites on top of that. It's filled with logical problems and he is spinning like a dreidel. He cites the opposing argument, "But his interceptions directly cost the Bills wins." And his riposte is to cite EPA per total plays. But you can have a very good EPA per total plays and still have cost your team wins. The stat doesn't really address the argument he's trying to knock over at all. Yet he immediately goes on to argue that his EPA data shows that he can't have lost games. Sorry. Very little logic here at all. Clickbait. Allen has had overall a top five season. Which is damn impressive. We're lucky to have him. But arguing he's the MVP is greatly stretching it. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Lamar is proven to be a far better QB than I ever expected. Kudos to him. However, in terms of importance to his team, Tyler Huntley demonstrated last year, that the Ravens can win even without Lamar. The even were competetive in the playoff game against the Bengals last year. The Bills hopefully will never be tested in this regard, but I think we all know the offense stalls completely without Josh. I think Josh is more valuable. If you just go by stats, than you have to think Brock Purdy is more valuable to his team, than 30 other QBS in the NFL. Brock is an excellent QB with a great future. But he is not more important to the 49ers, than quite a few other QBs are to their teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 9 hours ago, Cray51 said: Both Allen and Mahomes “lost” one game for their team this season (Allen Jets and Mahomes Raiders) allen and Mahomes had very similar passing statistics this season, with Allen having a profoundly better rushing season. to your point, Mahomes amps up running in the postseason, but the MVP is a focus on the regular season. i agree that Lamar will win the MVP, but if Lamar doesn’t exist, Allen is likely top3 in MVP, Mahomes might not be top 10 Agree with you on what the MVP is about. 100%. But you're saying that Allen "lost" one game this year? Josh's three turnovers had a massive effect on the Broncos game. And he didn't play all that well in several of our losses. QBs don't lose games anymore than they win them, it's a team stat. But Josh was one of the main reasons for probably three to four of our losses and had bad games in a couple of wins besides. I'm sure he'd agree. He also had some terrific games, and he's played a lot better down the stretch, which is really encouraging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is the MVP hands down, but the Media continues its pure hate of the fact the kid is the best QB in the NFL because they got it wrong leading up to the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I’d say that Allen looked far too pedestrian against middling teams to warrant MVP consideration. To his credit, he’s raised his level of play when going against the good teams, but to call him the league’s “most valuable player” when the Bills have won multiple games in which he was off for a large portion of the contest, I don’t know.

They are a ton worse with Huntley as the QB. Stumbling into the playoffs with him playing the last couple games does not mean it's not a huge downgrade.

Allen's turnovers did a hell of a lot more to lose the Broncos game than the (admittedly stupid and unbelievably frustrating) 12 men on the field penalty. They lost six points directly from the two INTs. And that's ignoring the rest of his not very good game. The first INT, they were on the Broncos 28. That's 3 lost points, minimum. The second INT, the Broncos got the ball on the Bills 31 and hit a field goal. That's a six point turnaround minimum, and the Bills lost by two. The stupid 12 men penalty would never have happened, as the Broncos would have needed eight points to tie and would have been forced to go for a TD. Allen was a major factor. Even larger in the Jets game, yes. But really big in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB's threw 12, 13, 14, or 15 INT's that year. 12 was the 4th most number of INT's, so if you threw that many, that is the 4th most total. Josh is not going to win MVP this year. That's obvious. But he had a far better season than most people are giving him credit for, because of the turnovers. They ignore everything else because of the turnovers. That's the point of the video, essentially.

MVP is supposed to equal best player in the league, right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wow super impressed that after that he added another 100 yards passing. What a juggernaut. Clearly the best player in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever actually watched Huntley play? He's below average at best. He plays the whole season, Baltimore is below .500. 46 minutes ago, mykidsdad said: Josh winning both would be the righteous choice. No player means more to their team or city. That statement is entirely subjective, and the "city" has no bearing on the selection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when many here said Mahomes wasn’t as great as people portray him to be because Chad Henne stepped in and led their offense on a 96 yard drive? I can’t with this place sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 3 hours ago, Thurman#1 said: So, losses against bad teams are OK, because being beaten by bad teams is OK? Also, I think I've come up with a brilliant new quotation here, check it out: "Wins and losses are not a QB stat, they are a team stat." Brilliant fresh new idea, right? Oh, not so fresh? Fair enough, but it's still right on target. You get it, I know, as you're using the slashes there, "Josh/Bills," but it's still being ignored in a lot of arguments here. Lamar has been more consistent this year. Which is really big. My post was in response to someone who said Lamar crushed playoff teams (as his argument for why Lamar over Josh for MVP). So, that is why I pointed out their records vs. playoff teams, to show that Lamar doesn't have that as something over Josh. Josh did very well (actually better) against playoff teams---even if it's a team stat really. Of course, losing to bad teams does not look good. But, as the OP's video pointed out (we are talking for individual MVP, not team here), all but the Jets opening day loss, Josh put the team ahead in the 4th quarter, but the defense was unable to stop the opposing team from scoring and taking the game. So, you can't really pin those losses on Josh from an individual standpoint. And Josh never blew a game in the 4th quarter with a turnover and has the lowest negative/bad play impact of any QB in the league (despite the turnovers). And of course, wins and losses are a team stat. But, why do the Lamar supporters get to hold up his team's record as a reason he should be MVP (when his defense carried many of those wins), but with Josh, if I bring up wins against playoff teams, all of a sudden wins are a team stat and can't be used in Josh's defense? Again, are two more regular season wins for Jackson (and his defense) the deciding factor here? If wins are a team stat, then those two wins more than Josh shouldn't be the deciding factor, right? As far as consistency, I will grant you that Baltimore as a team was more consistent than the Bills as a team this year. But Lamar? Jackson had 3 games with 0 TDs (rushing or passing), and 5 games with only 1 TD (rush or pass). So, 8 games with 1 or 0 TDs. That's almost half the season. Are those MVP worthy stats? Lamar had 7 games with fewer than 200 yards passing. [To include rushing] Lamar had 5 games under 250 yards from scrimmage Lamar had 10 games under 300 yards from scrimmage Josh had 1 game with only one TD (he did not have any zero TD games). Josh had 4 games with fewer than 200 yards passing. [Below are same number of games as Lamar] Josh had 5 games under 250 yards from scrimmage. Josh had 10 games with under 300 yards from scrimmage. People also bring up that the Ravens were blowing people out, so the Ravens took their foot off the gas in those games leading to lower stats for Lamar. Well, Baltimore had 9 blowout wins (2 TDs or more). The Bills, despite their inconsistency, had 6 blowout wins. So, that's only maybe 3-5 quarters of football all year more than Josh that Lamar "didn't need to do much." Keep them coming fellas. Convince me where Lamar's season was far superior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
