Came across this on reddit. Josh Allen is number 1 in the NFL at evading pressure:

What I love about Allen's elusiveness is that he combines the typical Athletic QB using speed and cuts to avoid hits, but he also is developing Brady's technique of seemingly barely moving at all and seeing people miss all around him.  I think that combination is kind of unique, and its starting to look instinctual to him

Someone smarter than me, ( that would be the rest of you)  should put together a list of every stat that Josh is top five in, I’m guessing it’s a long list, oh and send a copy to pfff, not that they will comprehend it’s meaning... 

 

Go Bills!!!

I am not sure how he does this

 

He sees pass rushers coming and he runs

He's also getting better at delivering the ball to the space created by the blitz. He's not running from pressure like he used to.

Also, he's just super strong. He isn't always just eluding defenders. He's throwing them off of him and breaking tackles and sacks.

 

Pretty hard for defenders to deal with. He's big, athletic and mobile, can break through tackles, AND he's smart and can maneuver in the pocket.

Surprising to see Matt Ryan so high. The rest of those guys are pretty mobile.

 

I think it also has to do with how they step up in the pocket & slip initial pressure. 

I know I usually think of their ability to run, but slipping tackles & moving around in the pocket to create space & avoid sacks is probably factored in.

Well that's exactly what it is. I just didn't know Matt Ryan was that good at it compared to those other guys who are more agile.

I was thinking this myself as I read this thread. I wonder if they count face-palming a defender into the carpet as "evading" the defender.

 

See angry run Week #2 vs. the Phish (starts at 4:10 mark or so):

Maybe it only counts when you actually are attempting to pass the ball.

I'm pretty sure they do count that.

Funny that they chose to show a picture of Murray even though Allen is #1...

Murray was a higher draft pick.

But Mercury is in Retrograde, and Momson (or whatever his name is) likes our Josh now

I think that it may not mean what one thinks....it's talking about mobility behind the LOS, evading pressure and making a pass, right?

 

So it's actually a sign of a mobile QB who does not get *too* mobile.  Ryan is pretty shifty in the pocket and makes guys miss.
