Josh Allen leading vote getter for Athletic Anonymous player survey of next to win 1st MVP

[Big Turk]

From earlier in the season, but pretty sure he would still be garnering at least as many votes after the Chiefs game.

Guess whoever thought he was overrated forget to vote this time 😂

lombardi

 

mvp?

 

yeah, the lombardi trophy seems much more important than mvp. although both would be cool, I'm sure JA would take the lombardi over mvp and I believe he has said as such.

Someone voted for Dak Prescott, 🤣

The narrative last year was Josh wouldn't be Josh without Diggs, and he is turnover prone. He proved that narrative to be false this year despite having far and away the best QB statline 

 

Now Lamar has better stats, and a HOF running back and now it's a stats award and not a best record award.

 

It's just funny how the goal posts move.

Yeah, The narrative this season is that of the leading MVP QB candidates, Josh has the least impressive supporting cast.  He's doing more with less.  I also think there's a little bit of "lifetime achievement award" mixed in.  His offensive production over the past 5 years or so is outrageous. And there is Lamar fatigue,  plus he's also flamed out in big playoff games. 

 

Yesterday on one of the TV shows, they discussed the stats of Josh Allen in his Losing playoff games and they were still awesome.  The hosts noted that throughout his career, Allen is not the reason the Bills have been eliminated.

Part of me feels like it's Allen's turn.  I know that's not how it's supposed to work.  It's supposed to go to this year's MVP and he's certainly in the conversation just based on his play this season.  But Lamar's already won it twice and when you look at all that Allen's done for this franchise, it's inconceivable to me that he hasn't won it already.

 

[strive_for_five_guy]

He probably would and should still be at the top, but Lamar would be way up there at this point too.  Week 3 v. now, a lot has happened.

Joe Burrow, Josh and Lamar. 
 

That’s who it is right now. If Joe wins then last year was an absolute sham because then statistics and not win total play a part. Something Josh bet Lamar in by a landslide.

McCaffrey? He has been out injured all season!!

Question is worded to not allow NFL players favorite players Pat Mahones and Lamar Jackson so not much value IMO. 

[Goin Breakdown]

Well it doesn't exactly say "this year" and it doesn't say "who will win their third MVP" so really this is a nothing burger. 

[Kelly to Allen]

I think the KC defense is excellent. Everyone knows their numbers. 

 

Allen playing a b- game made them look ordinary. 

 

I don't need to say anything else

Exactly, player voting has kept Allen out of the Pro Bowl multiple times when he was also an MVP candidate. Ridiculous that guys with clear and natural biases even have a say in postseason awards.

I know Burrow’s stat line is pretty decent, but I say no way he wins MVP.  Most losses ever by an MVP was 7, when Barry Sanders ran for 2,000 yards in 1997.  Only one player won MVP with 6 losses, when Adrian Peterson ran for 2,000 yards in 2012.  Another loss or two for the Ravens, I’d say even Lamar gets himself out of the running and it’s down to Josh and potentially Goff.

MVP from teams that don't win their division are pretty rare.

Barkley should be in the mix too, but for some reason this award is only available to QBs unless a player at another position breaks some sort of sacred record.

Some smart guy put a tidy little sum on Josh Allen MVP and TJ Watt DPOY before the year.

 

Some dumb guy added Caleb Williams OROY and parlayed them all.

He probably would be higher if he stopped getting tackled at the 1 yard line.
