Josh hasn't kept the Bills from getting to the Super Bowl, and he has arguably only played one "bad" playoff game in his career. In 20 career playoff games Bruce recorded 14.5 sacks, but there were several playoff games in which Bruce disappeared. Bruce had the benefit of playing on a roster with five other HOFers...that's why they got to Super Bowls. If you don't want to give it to him now, fine, but it's only a matter of time before it's not even questioned. Josh is the best Buffalo Bill of all-time. 3 Quote

notpolian Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Josh might be eventually, but if you saw the 90's Bills you know we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here. This season I think Allen deserves the MVP. I'm not even saying it was Bruce. But the man was like a great white shark on the field. The opposing offense had to know where he was on every play. One of the best difference makers of all time. Quote

I never said he has "kept us from a SuperBowl ". I'm saying, show me more. Get to a SB and we can then anoint him. I suppose you also feel then that he has stamped his ticket to the HOF ? 🤔 Quote
BigDingus Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Still going Bruce for now. That sack record will be untouched for a long time. But Josh is clearly the best QB we've ever had, so it's just a matter of time + achievements before he's at the top. Quote
thenorthremembers Posted December 16 Posted December 16 (edited) Josh is having the best season of any Bills player ever. He is well on his way to being the best Bill of all time. Right now its still Bruce. That said, an MVP and a Championship should pretty much seal it for Josh. Edited December 16 by thenorthremembers Quote
LabattBlue Posted December 16 Posted December 16 At this point my vote goes to Bruce, but if Allen stays healthy and continues to produce at Superman levels, he will pass Bruce by. Quote

If Josh's career continues on its current trajectory he's a no-doubt first ballot HOFer. I don't need to see more to know that. 1 Quote

Kirby Jackson Posted December 16 Author Posted December 16 1 hour ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Torn between Kelly and Allen. Allen needs supebowls man! Kelly was the steward of a great offense. He had pro bowlers and HOFers everywhere. He was the QB of that team but he’s not Allen. If you put Allen on those teams they win multiple. He’s WAY more dominant. 1 1 Quote

Marlton Bills Posted December 16 Posted December 16 2 hours ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Insane that Josh has ever made it a conversation. In terms of position value, it might have to be Josh. But what Bruce did as a 3-4 DE with what I remember as not a great DC in a league that had way less pass attempts is absolutely insane. Crazy part is if you could magically have prime Allen and Smith together, we would have won multiple SBs. This is interesting because if you brought Bruce into today’s game I would be interested to see how he could handle the mobile quarterbacks of today. He got to tee off on a lot of statues. Quote
dhgold Posted December 16 Posted December 16 24 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: Josh is having the best season of any Bills player ever. Arguable at best. OJ averaged 143 yards rushing per game in 1973. Present day MVP voters looked ready to vote for Barkley (who has a lot of high end talent around him) over Allen (who doesn't) when Barkley was averaging 122 yards a game. At that point Barkley had a slight lead over Henry for the rushing lead. The #2 rusher in 1973 averaged under 82 yards a game, not much more than HALF of what OJ did. I listen to a lot of national sports talk and during the discussions for MVP (which I think JA should win in a runaway), the argument against Allen is that his stats aren't overwhelmingly impressive. Josh Allen is having a fantastic year but OJ's 73 is numerically unrivaled. 3 1 Quote
