Einstein Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago “ Allen's performance in 2024, however, erased any doubt, with his play applying pressure on Mahomes for the top spot. With nearly 4,300 total yards, 40 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 2024, Allen showed what his very best garners: an MVP award and 13 regular-season wins despite the lack of a true No. 1 receiver in his prime. "He's done everything," an NFC personnel executive said. "He's answered every test. He makes less mistakes and takes care of the ball. Only thing left to do is win it all." Allen epitomizes the modern quarterback, with mobility that can thwart just about any defense, which makes him dangerous in the pocket but even more so out of it. Pressure did not affect Allen last season, when he led the NFL in QBR (85.3) and yards per dropback (6.5) under pressure, and his 13 passing touchdowns under duress tied the NFL lead. Allen also had the lowest sack rate in the entire NFL on all dropbacks (2.6%) despite his willingness to stay in the pocket to let plays develop or to buy time and scramble. Conversely, Allen's 18.1% off-target rate was the worst clip among the 18 quarterbacks who received at least one vote in this year's top 10. "He's still got that risk-taking to his game and the occasional head-scratching play, but he's taking more calculated risks than wild risks, which is helping his overall play," an NFL personnel evaluator said.” https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45530940/top-10-nfl-quarterbacks-execs-scouts-2025-espn-jeremy-fowler-position-rankings 1 2 1 Quote
RoscoeParrish Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I think the discussion about Hurts and Seahawks Russ is a good one. A lotta parallels there. Quote
MJS Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago The bulk of those off target throws they mentioned went to Kincaid. For some reason those two couldn't get on the same page. I bet they fix that this year. Quote
PonyBoy Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago It's unfair, but true. I think JA has eclipsed Mahomes for a little while. But.... Without the ring, SB MVP you have to keep picking Mahomes. Josh can't do it all by himself, he almost has, but that's not on him. It's just the way it is. 3 1 Quote

And Coleman. http://34.205.139.226/qbwr.html Wait for the list to populate and then click on each WR and you can see how often Allen connected with them. Only works on desktop (no mobile). Quote
Rousseauisnoschmo Posted 29 minutes ago Posted 29 minutes ago Nice but I really dont care about rankings or even the MVP. Get me a ring. Only thing that truly matters. Quote
