ALL PRO voting (the one that matters)

[DrDawkinstein]

Official team isnt out, but will be soon. And some voters have started publishing their picks.

 

No AFC and NFC, just one top team.

Quarterback

Josh Allen, Bills

 

I won't get too much into the conversation about quarterback here, given that we're going to be talking about a lot of the same stuff next week in my year-end awards column. I laid out the numbers for the top three quarterbacks in my column Monday, and there isn't much difference between the top two.

 

Lamar Jackson has been absolutely spectacular, and Allen has been more consistent (while still, of course, occasionally looking like he's a space alien). They're both incredible. I very narrowly lean toward Allen, but I'm not ruling out changing my mind between now and next week. It's also worth noting that Allen isn't expected to play much Sunday against the Patriots -- Buffalo is locked into the 2-seed in the AFC -- while Jackson and the Ravens need to beat the Browns on Saturday to win the AFC North and clinch the 3-seed.

 

Edge rusher

This is always the most impossible position to sort through because there are annually about 10 to 12 players who could make a reasonable case to be considered as a first-team All-Pro. This season, Micah Parsons and Aidan Hutchinson are missing out because of injuries, but Greg Rousseau, Jared Verse and Andrew Van Ginkel have had fantastic seasons and aren't even really close to the first team, which is just unfair. The bar to get in here is impossibly high.

Barnwell isn't an all-pro voter, or at least wasn't last year: https://apnews.com/article/ap-nfl-awards-panel-e71a6a4641246b75abcca6a553bc0dab.

I like his pick of Allen, I don't like this!

I think there's a shot that Allen is MVP and Lamar is first team AP QB.

 

Has that ever happened before?
