I'm past the who's the best QB debate which will always be a Chevy / Ford thing.  Bottom line is our QB is elite and is now getting the respect he deserves.  What a road Allen has travelled from draft night punch line to where he is today.

More like Ferrari vs Lamborghini.

Only if by #2 you mean relative golfing ability.

Here at TBD we just LOVE freak shows......just love them!!!

I'd wager that if you ask the 32 NFL DCs, today, who they would least like to face -- Allen or Mahomes -- it's either dead even or Josh gets a couple more votes.

 

[BuffaloBill]

No doubt that Allen has scary physical tools.  The difficulty is the rest of the team needs to play well and disciplined football .  Look at the list (with Peyton Manning & Brett Fauve getting an honorable mention in the write up).

 

Mahomes 1

Faurve 2

Manning 2

Rogers 1

 

vs

 

Brady 7

 

The point simply is that it takes more than just a highly talented QB to bring home the trophy.

@BuffaloBill the question isn't about which QB is most likely to win a SB...it's about which QB is the "scariest" for defenses to face.

Let’s see what Mahomes does without Hill

[Ethan in Cleveland]

It says 5 scariest but they only talk about 4.  I'm not going to watch the whole thing. My top 4 is Allen, Mahommes, Herbert, and Rodgers.  Rodgers is better than Brady at this point and without Gronk I don't think Brady cracks the top 4.  I know Adams is not in Green Bay any more and that is why I have Herbert ahead of Rodgers. 

I've already posted numerous times the AFC Championship will be decided when Buffalo and LA Chargers meet in the playoffs.

He's played well when Hill's missed starts.  I think he'll be fine.  I think we're going to have the Mahomes/Allen debate for the next decade which is fine with me.

Cheating?

Uncalled for.  The camera crew taping the Rams walk through at the Super Bowl and the Cincinnati sideline prior to the week they played them was all for a harmlessly fun documentary their fans could enjoy.  Plus, who doesn't destroy their sim card in their phone at regular intervals?

As a modern-day single-wing quarterback

 

Although I would not classify him as a modern-day single-wing QB so who are the other single-wing quarterbacks who compete with Allen through history?

 

I assume the writer is labelling him as such since he can play as a WR/TE, FB, RB or QB when he needs too.

Kordell Stewart is another such a player who was dangerous even when he was not doing QB role.

 Nothing to see here…..that phone was already scheduled for complete destruction. I mean, that’s how I do it, don’t you?

Agree only add in Burrow and Herbert and an aging Wilson.  Sucks that all 5 are in the AFC.  When Brady and Rodgers retire, there is not much left in the NFC.  Dak probably is the best of the NFC after those two.

We'll see what the ranking is after this season, since Mahomes won't have Hill/a true #1 WR.  Although I'm curious if Kelce was the true #1 WR and Hill benefitted from that?

I'd pry go with Murray (when healthy) and Stafford over Dak but it does suck the AFC is loaded at the QB position.

Lamar? 🤭

Josh Allen has a very particular set of skills...
