The 9 Isles Posted November 20 Posted November 20 https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5791131/2024/10/02/nfl-player-polls-josh-allen-tyreek-hill-justin-jefferson/ Quote Allen consistently ranks among the league’s passing leaders and annually draws consideration for Pro Bowl honors. But thus far, aside from a Super Bowl victory, one distinct honor has eluded Allen: the title of Most Valuable Player. The seventh-year veteran has garnered votes for both MVP and Offensive Player of the Year, but has always finished behind rivals like Patrick Mahomes (twice) and Lamar Jackson (twice). However, because of his all-around dominant level of play, many of Allen’s peers predict that his wait for his first MVP could soon end. Allen was the leading vote-getter when NFL players were asked, as part of The Athletic’s second anonymous player poll, to name who would join Mahomes, Jackson and Aaron Rodgers to become the next active player to win an MVP award. That trio has combined to win the last six MVPs, with each player winning twice. Tom Brady in 2017 was the last player other than those three to win an MVP; no other active player has won the award.

DapperCam Posted November 20 Posted November 20 Didn’t these same players just vote him the most overrated player like 6 months ago? I’m beginning to think these players know less about their peers than we think. 1 Quote

I’m beginning to think these players know less about their peers than we think. Absurd how that silly poll of 103 players got so much attention. Just 11 voted him the the most overrated passer (not player) and 39 voted him the best quarterback in the league. The media turns that into "Allen's peers think he's the most overrated player in the league." https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-most-overrated-term-of-endearment 1 6 Quote

Doc Brown Posted November 20 Posted November 20 My guess is the Lamar Jackson argument will be he has better numbers. Kind of the reverse of last year's debate which is kind of funny. 1 3 Quote

dma0034 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Needs to be bumped. Odds on favorite to win. IMO it's Allen or Barkley. Not bad for the most Over-rated player in the league Quote
buffalo2218 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Not taking a thing away from Saquon, but the Eagles have enough talent to win without him. Allen plays a much harder position than Barkley, and that's not a dime a dozen reference. Quote
Kelly to Allen Posted December 2 Posted December 2 If the bills win out and Allen just plays solid he will be unanimous MVP. 1 Quote
GunnerBill Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I know why it's on.... @transplantbillsfan didn't start his thread in week 2 guaranteeing us all it would happen. That thread was an annual plague on all our houses. 5 Quote
GolfandBills Posted December 2 Posted December 2 He’s going to have to finish strong to get it i think. The NFL would love nothing more than to give it to Lamar again. Quote
