To say Maye will never be Allen, when Maye's projectory and numbers already look like this and he is in the running for MVP only SECOND season is absolutely asinine.  Speaking of Goat you're making Allen sound like the GOAT and he isn't.  One of the best dual threat quarterbacks of his generation, and an elite QB? Absolutely.  But can he be lapped by Maye if Maye's projectory continues to rise, ABSOLUTELY.  How long did it take Allen to look they way he did? I'm pretty sure his 4th year maybe 3rd.  This is Drake Maye's 2ND season. 

 

Allen is the best dual threat QB the NFL has ever seen.  The dude scores TDs at an unheard of rate.  

 

By the very definition of MVP as Most Valuable Player, Josh Allen should probably have won it every year for the last 6 years.

 

And Josh was the Josh we know now in year 3, not 4.  But there's revisionist history on his 2nd year because he certainly started resembling the Josh Allen we know right now in 2019.

 

Maye might be "in the running" for MVP, but realistically I don't think he has a shot to win it.  It's going to be Stafford or (sorry to burst your bubble) Allen.  The latter depends on what he does in the next 4 games.  Stafford, however, has never won an MVP.  He's also the league leader in the NFL in total TDs at 35.  For context for you Patriots fans... that's 10 more TDs than your boy Drake.  Josh Allen is right on Stafford's heals at 34 and he probably has the same narrative of "look at the guys he's throwing to!  He's doing it all by himself" going for him... and that would be true.  However, Stafford still gets the leg up because he's never won it and the voters will surely want to give him one.

 

And I want to reiterate something here... I like Maye and really wish he weren't on the Patriots.  He's a good QB and scares me as a Bills fan more than any other QB in the AFC East since Brady left.

 

But he ain't Allen.  He ain't Mahomes.  He ain't Lamar.

 

Drake's having a MVP like year in his 2nd year, huh?  That's nice.  Maybe it took Josh 3 years to put up an MVP like year, but pretty stark difference of Josh's 3rd year to Drake's 2nd.

 

2020 Josh Allen

310.3 yards per game

2.8 TDs per game

1 turnover per game

 

2025 Drake Maye

287 yards per game

1.9 TDs per game

0.6 turnovers per game

 

Just did yards per game there because Maye's 2025 season is incomplete, but Josh Allen in 2020 was just a few yards short of 5,000 total yards and had 45 TDs.  And he did it in a 16 game season.  The more you look back at that season, the more bewildering it is that Josh only has 1 MVP... because he's done similar things in every ensuing year.  He's always somewhere around 5,000 total yards and always over 40 TDs now. 

 

Maye ain't sniffing that kinda production.

 

And by the way, even in Allen's 2nd year, he still had 29 TDs and 3,600 yards in 15 games since he took a total of 7 snaps in a meaningless week 16 game against the Jets... so if Maye can't get 5 or more total TDs in his next 2 games against the Bills and Ravens, he's no better than 2019 Josh Allen in terms of scoring production.

 

Is our bar really so low this year that we really think Drake Maye should win the MVP???? C'mon man...

-Commanders fans last year

The saving grace is the reads Maye makes, the way you can see he reads the field, and most importantly the way McDaniel is able to work with him - Patriot ***** stains will think they were right all along.

 

Maye has a solid chance at a good career. His floor is Tannehill (who honestly gets too much hate).  Right now he is a flash in the pan like Pennington was for a moment. He has the chance to reach McNair levels of hysteria soon. At best he will be a slinging game manager like Drew Brees or Dan Marino. That is literally, at best.

He threw zero... And we have a lot more film on the Patriots offense over the last 7 8 weeks 

 

Dude you can't anoint a quarterback Year two lol he's going to have plenty of games where he struggles over the next couple of years 

 

And I'm betting one of them is this Sunday

 

 

 

"A spy rush" what is that? Rush means blitz..and who is anointed him?? Although he is in the MVP convo in his 2nd year.

 

And nothing wrong with being confident in your team. But I am willing to bet Maye is gonna be fine aganist the Bills defense cause aftet all bills fans complain constantly about their teams defense..

lol he has already passed Tannehill lol .. Tannehill's best year isn't close to what Drake Maye is doing right now, as long as Tannehill has played lol.  Scary thing is.. Vrabel took Tannehill to a championship game and thats without a QB like Maye and OC like Josh McDaniels.  Now he has BOTH on offense.

Is our bar really so low this year that we really think Drake Maye should win the MVP???? C'mon man...

What matters is now, not 5 years ago.  5 years ago cannot help Buffalo today, C'mon man....

 

"In the 2025 NFL season (as of early December), Drake Maye has generally outperformed Josh Allen in efficiency and advanced metrics, leading the league in completion percentage, passer rating, and Expected Points Added, while Allen still boasts strong overall production, particularly in fantasy points per game and rushing touchdowns, showcasing Maye's breakout year with the Patriots compared to Allen's continued elite play for the Bills. 

Here's a breakdown of their typical 2025 performance:

Key Statistical Comparisons (Around Week 13-14, 2025)

Completion %: Maye (71.5%) > Allen (70.1%)

Passing Yards: Maye (3,412) > Allen (3,085)

Passing Touchdowns: Maye (23) ≈ Allen (22)

Passer Rating: Maye (111.9) > Allen (102.9)

Fantasy Points (Approx): Allen (254) > Maye (227)

Fantasy PPG: Allen (25.4) > Maye (20.6)

Rushing TDs: Allen (7) > Maye (2)

Sacks: Maye (36) > Allen (20) 

Key Takeaways

Maye's Efficiency: Maye leads in key efficiency metrics, showing incredible accuracy and decision-making for the Patriots, ranking first in Completion Percentage Over Expectation.

Allen's Versatility: Allen remains a fantasy powerhouse, often leading in fantasy points due to his significant rushing production (more rushing TDs) and high fantasy point-per-game average.

Offensive Systems: Their roles differ; Maye excels in the Patriots' system, while Allen's dual-threat ability keeps him elite, but he's also been sacked more often. "   Drake Maye ain't concerned about being a fantasy QB like Josh Allen, Drake wants to actually win championships... something Josh Allen has not... even Joe Burrow has at least been to a Superbowl... Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.. will yall ever make it to one? or will sports media continue to make excuses for you. 🧐

Josh Allen is a competitor; a hard working, student of the game, competitor.

 

He strengthened a lot of his weaknesses. It's no mistake. He works extremely hard in the off season. Don't be fooled with the glitz, glamour, Stanfield, and golf. He's in the same class as Michael Jordan in regards to training.

 

Josh Alien and our Buffalo Bills will be looking for revenge this Sunday. We'll be better than the last time we faced the Pats regardless of the betting line.

You're really trolling now.

 

How do you know "Drake wants to actually win championships?"  Drake Maye hasn't played a single postseason game yet.  

 

In fact, when Maye has had even minor pressure, he has turned the ball over. How many game-ending INT's an fumbles has he had in the 4th quarter at this point of his career, anyway?

I mean, we've had some great ones... Steve Young (HOF), Aaron Rodgers (HOF), Patrick Mahomes (HOF), ... Best we've ever seen? Better dual threat than Patrick Mahomes? really? .. any hardware? usually best ever conversations when it comes to quarterbacks has hardware in there some where.  Even if we take out championships.. better than Lamar Jackson, as it feet equally to arm? ... How about Josh Allen is ONE OF the best dual threat quarterbacks we've ever seen.

Thats the thing.... Drake Maye is only on his second year (late in his second year now) and will already be playing in a post season game.  I'll stop f*cking with Josh Allen as far as him not making it to a Superbowl, but how long did it take him to play in his first post season game?  Hell, how many times has he even been to a conference championship game? only twice in 8 years??????

He has more AFC championship game appearances then any quarterback not named Patrick mahomes the last 9 years lol tied with Joe B

 

Dude Brady spoiled you guys and mahomes spoiled the Chiefs to the point where you think it's normal to go to like 7 8 or 9 AFC championship games lol

 

FYI Patrick mahomes has been regressing from multiple years and Josh is still getting better it's not even close to who's going to be considered the better quarterback in 5 or 6 years 

 

History is more likely to show Patrick mahomes with surrounded by a Hall of Fame head coach a Hall of Fame tight end and had Tyreek Hill and his prime ... Without the Superstar cast he's going back to really good not Superman

 

And his luster has slowly been getting removed.. to the point where absolutely teams fear Josh Allen more than him 

 

Peyton Manning retired Tom Brady played like seven more years lol that's exactly what I see with Pat and Josh 

 

Josh is going to have numbers Patrick will not be able to touch and winning it all will come eventually 

 

Peyton Manning didn't win his first Super bowl till he was 30 John elway didn't win his till his penultiman season

So what its only 1 more than Lamar and one more than Joe Burrow (who actually got to a superbowl, which is higher than what Josh Allen has ever done).  Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning and others have at least been to multiple AFC title games during Brady's era if I'm not mistaken.

It's the ultimate team game bro 

 

The bills have played the Chiefs multiple times in the playoffs the last few years wrecked by injuries 

 

Not injuries from 9 weeks ago that NFL teams adjust from 

 

Injuries from 7 days ago... We played them without starting corners and starting safeties and starting linebackers 

 

We had eight defensive players with fresh injuries on the injury report going into Arrowhead last year... They didn't have one defensive starter 

 

And the bills played without their number one corner and their number one safety with a whole bunch of guys barely hanging on 

 

In a game of inches on the road in the playoffs... And they lost by three 

 

Severely handicapped and they lost by three to a team that went to the Super bowl... A game of inches that's your difference right there 

 

We've never been healthy the last multiple years in the playoffs
