thenorthremembers Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Really have to normalize the data to fully understand the comparison (click below). I dont think anyone would argue that Lamar isnt on Mahomes or Allen's level, but he isnt as far off as the raw data originally posted would have you think. He is on par with both Mahomes and Josh when it comes to total yards, the issue is the high number of interceptions in comparison to his average touchdown output. Josh and Pat are nearly identical when it comes to averages, but Id argue where the difference shows up is when it comes to being clutch. Brady was better than Pat in head to heads, Mahomes is better than Allen. Lamar is a fine quarterback. He sells a lot of jerseys.

Albany,n.y. Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 4 hours ago, JoshAllin said: I did like Taylor tbh. It's too bad he wasn't blessed with the top D in the league I liked Tyrod until I watched him become what I called a wheel-spinner. When the Bills 1st signed Tyrod & I heard about some Ravens teammates saying glowing things about him, I sent a Bills fan friend an e-mail titled "We've found our franchise QB" and attached a photo of a tie-rod. He hadn't heard of the signing yet and his reply asked me why I sent him a photo of a car part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea, nobody was calling him an MVP..... except @transplantbillsfan actually. He loved himself some Tyrodball. Lol. Did we have annual Tyrod MVP threads back in the day too?

Here’s the thing, you’re going by wins and losses but is Josh really letting his team down in clutch situations? He puts them ahead or in position to tie a lot, it’s not his fault they seem to ***** it up when he walks off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top two got nothing to do with individual play which makes the reasoning so *****. Who does most for his team should be top of the list. The NFL is ***** anyway. I seen an interview today where the reporter asked Josh if the Pro Bowl was lame and he just kind of hummed and hawed and kind of dodged the question.

Shaw66 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 15 hours ago, transplantbillsfan said: Josh... 5-5 playoff record 2,723 yards passing 21 touchdowns 4 interceptions 563 yards rushing 5 rushing TDs . Jackson... 2-4 playoff record 1,324 yards passing 6 touchdowns 6 interceptions 521 yards rushing 3 rushing TDs. Lamar, sadly, pretty much ensured (somehow) he will be in the HOF as a 2 time League MVP. Josh (somehow) still has work he's gotta do to be considered. Discuss... Well, first, unless something goes wrong, Josh is in. They're letting a lot of guys in the HOF now, and by the end of his career, Josh is going to have pretty amazing numbers, where he ever wins a Super Bowl. A lot of TDs, a lot of yards passing and a lot of yards rushing. He's already 8th on the career rushing list, and it's not a stretch for him to get into Vick/Newton territory. And his passing number will blow those guys away. The real problem is the MVP. It's just a weird popularity contest. I don't know who votes, but what's happened the last few years is about November the broadcasters all start speculating about who the MVP might be, naming a top 5, and somehow over the next month they drop names off the list, so that by the end of the season the announcers have built a consensus for one guy or another. As we saw this season, the announcers anointed Lamar before Josh and the Bills had a late season run - by early December they all were saying Lamar is the consensus choice. How can that make sense - it's a 17 game season, and a bunch of announcers decide who's going to be the MVP after 12 games. Plus, of course, the MVP is a regular season award and not a playoff award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 MVP voting should not take place till the Super Bowl is done. As for Jackson vs. Allen, Jackson is not a big game QB. Teams shut him down in the playoffs and showcase his flaws. Allen plays big in big games, just has to get the rest of the team dialed in to get past KC. Bottom line to me, Lamar keeps his team from getting a Lombardi, the team around him keeps Josh from the Lombardi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh was ruled out early on with the 6-6 record and his INTs. You hit it when you said 12 games, that when they narrowed it down to Lamar vs the field and ignored everything Josh did the rest of the way. And then the Ravens killed the 49ers and embarrassed Miami to get the #1 seed. The criteria is set. The MVP is going to be the QB on the #1 seeded team with the best record. That's it. And Lamar's team beat Purdy's team head to head to make it even easier in the voters minds. In my personal opinion,,,if not Allen (the most TD's and great stats leading us to the #2 seed), then I would've given it to CMC or Tyreek. Both were hugely important and made their respective teams what they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was pretty funny Agreed... but what Nolan is saying--and he's right--is that those are the things MVP voters value and in that order. And we just have to understand and accept that it won't likely change. 10 minutes ago, oldmanfan said: MVP voting should not take place till the Super Bowl is done.

Bottom line to me, Lamar keeps his team from getting a Lombardi, the team around him keeps Josh from the Lombardi. I actually understand why they do it at the end of the regular season. The MVP would overwhelmingly always be the same as Super Bowl MVP. Mahomes shouldn't have been league MVP this year and voters would have been biased by his postseason and would have given it to him.
