QB Bills Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 This is crazy. It's been three games and the majority of fans here are saying Allen is a top 5 QB? And some think he's better than Rodgers? That's borderline insanity. Not saying he won't get there eventually, but let's pump the brakes here a bit. It wasn't that long ago that Trent Edwards was supposed to be the MVP of the year after starting out 4-1. 1

Personally I am ranking them strictly by how they've played thus far, this season If you have a different calculus feel free to post your list 2

Otherwise, I get your point. 1
GunnerBill Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 I think Allen is clearly in the top 4 performers through 3 weeks. Personally I go Wilson, Rodgers, Allen, Mahomes but to be honest I could make an argument for any 4 of those at number 1.
TheElectricCompany Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 2020 only...I'd go 1.) Wilson 2.) Mahomes 3.) Rodgers 4.) Allen Total Career Ranking... I'd say Allen is in the 12-15 range. He keeps it up, by years end, he's in the 5-9 range. Young QB to Build Around Ranking...I'd go 1.) Mahomes 2.) Lamar 3.) Watson 4.) Allen. All subject to change! 1

Through those 5 games, Trent had 4 total TDs. He was never pushing the ball downfield like Josh is.

GunnerBill Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) @ExWNYer Is that four people of surname "Allen" or is it one person whose parents really lacked imagination? Edited October 2, 2020 by GunnerBill

The Bills finished September third in points per game and fourth in yards per game. Led by its best athlete and playmaker -- a quarterback capable of going toe-to-toe with Aaron Donald in terms of physical prowess with the game on the line -- this is now an offensive team.
r00tabaga Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 On 9/29/2020 at 12:12 PM, Bill Lewes said: a little early to dis Brees, Brady, etc. Allen, Murray, Watson - even Mayfield on the rise, sure. But let's not forget the guys who are in the HOF class picture. If you had to win the next game and could have your pick of the QBs, you'd take them in that order? I think I'd be going: Wilson Rodgers Mahomes Brady Brees Allen Roethlisberger Watson Murray Jackson Newton, Rivers, Carr, Fitz, Tannehill, Goff Mayfield No Dak??? 1

Remember, I'm looking at just winning one game. I don' think he's reliable, but you're right he def belongs on the list. 1
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 I'd have Wilson as the clear number one based on his defense being so bad. They've needed all of his TD's to win for the most part (similar to Allen). And SOS wise ATL, DAL, NE is a little tougher than NYJ, MIA, LAR. The other three could really go in any order but for arguments sake I'll put Allen at #2 for similar reasons as Wilson at #1. Our defense unfortunately has not been good this year and Allen has not been supported by a league leading rushing attack (like in Green Bay). 1
